Second Sunday of Christmastide-Jan 5

04 Jan

Tell Them What You Heard-Christmastide is a time when we remember that God revealed Himself to His people. God could have come into the palace of a king but chose rather to come in the manger as a baby to remind us that He wants us to serve rather than to lord it over others. He revealed Himself first to the shepherds to remind us that He cares for the lowest shepherd, as well as the greatest king. Once the shepherds heard the good news, they immediately went and worshiped Him. Then they went and told everyone all they had heard and seen. During the worship service, do you feel the Lord’s presence? After the service, have you gone out and told anyone what you have heard and what you have seen the Lord do?

It is unbelievable watching President Biden do everything he can to trash the country to prevent President Biden from succeeding in stabilizing the country. He has spent billions of dollars in the last month and a half with no authority to do so and doing so without regard for the spending limits imposed by the Balanced Budget Act, when only Congress has the authority to authorize federal spending. He also put all the unused building supplies Trump purchased to build the border wall up for auction to sell it for pennies on the dollar to force President Trump to purchase new materials.  In addition, he put a 20 year ban on drilling in Nevada to make it difficult for President Trump to restore America’s oil independence and end our dependence on Arab oil. While he says Donald Trump will be a dictator and claims Trump will destroy our democracy, he has shown total disregard for the Constitution and federal law, as if he were the king and not an elected president.

First Sunday of Christmastide-Dec 29

30 Dec

-(Lights Reveal His Coming) See the Lights-Help someone see the Light-Every Christmas cities, corporations, and private individuals create beautiful light displays and Christmas displays. Many are free or very low cost. Search the net and find one. There are probably some within an hour or two drive of where you live. (check if they continue until the new year, some end on Christmas Eve) Invite someone to go along, especially if they have kids. When I was younger many home displays had a display of the manger, of Santa Claus, or other Christmas scene, but few do today. Many Christmas displays today are just a mass of light which look pretty, but fail to convey a message. The government is increasingly banning manger scenes from public property, so it is all the more important for churches and individual Christians to display the manger scene. If neighbors have no church background they may be confused about the baby in the manger and it will give you a chance to tell them about the first Christmas when God sent His Son to save us all.

Sanctity of Life-GD-C

25 Dec

President Biden shows his contempt for life. He commuted almost all of those on death row while pushing the killing of unborn babies. Most of those on death row are there for killing someone. A number of them are there for mass killings where they killed a number of people. God prescribes the death penalty as the punishment for taking a life, though spending a lifetime in prison may be a worse punishment then a quick and painless death. The murderer gives up his own life for the life he/she took. It also guarantees that the murderer will not commit additional murders, and is to serve as a deterrent to make people think seriously before they take a life. While individuals are not to take justice into their own hands, God ordained rulers to administer justice. Unborn babies have committed no crime, though they may be conceived through the sins of their parents in the case of rape, incest, or mutual consent of two unmarried partners.  Many are aborted for no other reason then they happen to be a girl and their parents wanted a boy or the baby was just inconvenient. However that is not the babies fault and not a reason they should be put to death.

 

 

Sanctity of LIfe-A-4-AH

With the Supreme Court having a conservative majority, Roe vs Wade was overturned. As a result, it has reverted back to each State to regulate it. Conservative States outlawed it but liberal States have kept it. Planned Parenthood has been working to  make abortion legal in all States by pushing deceptive Amendments to State Constitutions that sound like they are limiting abortions but are putting in loopholes that allow them to perform abortions for any reason up to and including at birth. As a result, they have managed to get such amendments into conservative States preventing them from limiting abortions. Planned Parenthood has been expanding their facilities in States where it was still legal and are working to make them more accessible, such as facilitating transportation for those in need and expanding the use of telemedicine where the doctor interviews the client by teleconference and prescribes the medicine needed to perform the abortion. The doctor does not have to see the client face-to-face or supervise the abortion. As a result, the woman does not have medical supervision in the event of complications which could become fatal. As a result, death from abortions have increased although it is difficult to determine how much since coroners hide abortion deaths under ambiguous phrases. For instance a woman who died from an abortion was listed as having died from a perforated uterus. The cause of the perforation, which was an abortion, was only discovered when the family demanded more information. In addition, they are utilizing the liberal media to change public opinion about abortion to make it more acceptable. The church must continue to inform people of the importance of protecting life and the dangers of abortion.

 

 

Senior Citizen issues-K

23 Dec

Lawmakers passed the Social Security Fairness Act just before Christmas while people aren’t noticing. This allows government union workers and their spouses to enjoy two full pensions if they worked at non-government jobs along with government jobs and earned enough credits. Formerly their government pension was reduced by what they received in Social Security. It only benefits a small number of Seniors but will greatly increase  the burden on the Social Security fund with no funding to cover the increased costs. The vast number of Seniors will receive no benefit and will face reduced Social Security earlier due to Social Security running low on funds sooner. It shows that the Democrats have total disregard for Seniors when it offers government workers facing retirement a huge windfall to buy union votes in upcoming elections. Democrats have always worked to benefit unions but have seen dropping support from police unions as they demonize police and from manufacturing unions as they push the switch from gas powered to electric vehicles which require less workers to manufacture and push importing manufactured goods from China and oil from the Mid-East which costs American jobs.

 

Fourth Sunday of Advent-Dec 22

19 Dec

Mirth-Sacrifice-Lamb The third gift they brought was Mirth in recognition that He would be the sacrificial lamb who would die for all men. Mirth was a burial spice used to embalm the body of the dead to preserve it. As High Priest, Christ would offer Himself willingly, the Lamb without spot or blemish for there was no sin in Him, to pay the price to redeem us from the power of sin and death. With His death and resurrection, there was no longer any use for the temple sacrifices because He was the ultimate and final sacrifice that paid for the sins of all mankind. At His death, the curtain of the temple that separated us from God, was torn in two, from top to bottom, opening the way for us to approach God.
