Christmas Eve

Gospellers

A Gospeler is one who directs conversations to include the Gospel. Pastors do their part by preaching the Gospel. But when the ordinary followers begin to follow the example of Jesus, they too begin to tell how Jesus interrupted their ways with life eternal.

Noel

Grim was the world, dark and grey. The moon and stars were fled,The hall was dark,without song or light,The fires were fallen dead.The wind in the trees was like to the sea,And over the mountains’ teeth, a whistled bitter-cold set free.

Henry’s most widely read…

Both Sides

We all could face up to our own faults if we could see our clear need for a Savior. Peter said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭KJV Left alone,…

Purposeful Retreat

To get away, to go into the secret place of the most High, to reconnect with His purpose and supreme plan, is to retreat from the distractions of this world. A purpose driven retreat from the Deceiver, is to realign our life with Jesus, the Author and perfector of our faith. It is a choice…
