The Christmas Story

Luke 2:1-20 (NIV)

The Birth of Jesus

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a]Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Royal Law


Bookmark and Share


James 2:8 (NIV)
"If you really keep the ROYAL LAW found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does it really mean to love your neighbor as yourself?

And... who is your neighbor, anyway?
Friend, your neighbor is people!
The Royal Law simply means to treat other people as you would want to be treated.
God loves people.
When we treat others with kindness, love, humility, generosity, healing, encouragement, respect, honor and dignity... we honor God!
Jesus said in Luke 6:26 - "Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." (KJV)

When coming across certain words in scripture of which you may not fully understand the meaning, look for patterns. Find that word being used elsewhere in the Bible.

When you seek answers in God's Word, you will find them.

Seek and you WILL find.

See: Acts 3:2 - And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple..... Most people would say, that is God's plan for him... but Jesus healed him!!!!!! I love this passage!)

MATTHEW 14:14 - And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he HEALED THEIR SICK. (Jesus is moved with compassion to heal us. As believers who lay hands on the sick... we are moved with compassion "just like Jesus" to pray healing over them.)

MATTHEW 15:30 - And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and HE HEALED THEM:

LUKE 13:14 - And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had HEALED on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. (Religion will never get anyone healed. The teachings of Jesus goes against religion & tradition. Church Denominations can be a form of religious traditions if the denomination and its beliefs are exalted above the Word of God. We must let all of our preconceived - negative- ideas about healing go and surrender to the WORD OF GOD... which is healing. Just Believe!)

LUKE 14:4 - And they held their peace. And he took him, and HEALED HIM, and let him go;

ACTS 14:9 - The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and PERCEIVING HE HAD THE FAITH TO BE HEALED, (This is why we are not at liberty to pray healing over anyone unless they want it and believe in it - except for intercessory prayer.)

Does Jesus Still Heal Today? YES!

Use Wisdom: 
See your doctor. 
Follow the doctors orders unless the Holy Spirit specifically tells you otherwise.
(Keep in mind, the doctors are "PRACTICING MEDICINE".)
Eat right. 
Exercise.
Forgive those who have offended you.
Make things right with God, with others, with yourself.
Do all you know to do in the natural. 

... And then, TRUST GOD!
He is for you, and not against you.

The Foolish to Shame the Wise


1 Corinthians 1:25-31

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.



If you are for:

*Men going into women's restrooms
*Aborting babies (even in the 9th month)
*Government officials using private email servers for classified information (information that could mean death or life for you)
*Politicians paying off media to "fix" their ugly stories so the public doesn't hear the whole truth
*Women whose strength comes from their bitterness toward men (Hillary has got to be a bitter women seeing how she has been married to a man whose spent a lifetime in adulterous affairs)
*Changing our constitution (a governing rule that has made America the most desirable country in the world to live in)
*Minorities staying in poverty because of entitlement thinking that is dependent on government hand outs
*Racial tension (All Lives Matter!)
*Looting, violence and ignorant propaganda being the norm for public protest
*Allowing the government to take away Christian rights under the disguise of "Separation of Church and State" while promoting other religious freedoms
*The government taking away your right to protect yourself from criminals (crooks will always have weapons)
*Politicians accepting money in exchange for corrupt laws being passed
*Allowing our military to be weakened by lack of funds, lack of support, lack of strong leadership, and lack of concern for American lives
*Taking from the rich to give to the poor (it "sounds" like a good idea if you are poor but it is NOT biblical, it does NOT help the poor to become successful, and it does NOT promote American entrepreneurship)
*Government spending that throws this country into a poverty that may not ever be irreversible
*Winking at ISIS by playing Russian Roulette with border control and illegal immigrants
*By the way... if you are an illegal immigrant or a new American who moved here from another country, voting for policies that "change" or "enable" things to be different in America for your cause will eventually cause America to be no different than the country you fled.
*Americans being brain washed by media and lying politicians
*A one world government that's in bondage to a dictatorship rule
*For the Illuminati (look it up!)
*Agenda policy above safety, common sense, and common courtesy for ALL
*This list could go on & on...

Then, by all means... vote for Hillary or do a write in vote to prove your point otherwise. (A write in vote is a poor display of apathy.)


#Trump is not perfect. He is not polished. But, he does represent the opposite of everything above AND his motive for running is to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN... for everyone!


Not voting is NOT the answer.


Voting for anyone other than Hillary or Trump is not the answer.


Voting for anyone who represents any points above is not the answer.


This final hour hangs in the balance of a country who needs to decide whether to vote the heart of God or the wiseness of their own heart.

Vote the Bible!

*Only God knows the heart of a man or woman. But, He did give his children discernment to understand the motives and spiritual disposition of a person.
