Let those who love your salvation say continually “let God be magnified!”
Ps 70:4
everything is good for bitcoin...right?
When was Jesus conceived?
“When Mary assented to the Word, Christ was conceived; her faith and her womb conceived together. . . It had been to little purpose though a virgin conceive Christ, unless Christ had been conceived likewise in her heart. And there is no benefit by virtue of this conception to others, but to such as conceive Christ in their hearts also. . . A Christian is a person who has Christ in his heart and if you ask, ‘When does Christ first live in a Christian heart?’ I answer, 'When the heart yields to the gracious promises made in Christ for the pardon of sin, and thereby is accepted by God and inherits eternal life. For faith is the birth of the heart’.” —Richard Sibbes
Jesus does not take up residence in ANYONE who doesn’t believe in Him.
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph. . ." Because this is such a familiar story to us, we almost skip right past the name Joseph, don’t we? But For Matthew’s first readers, they definitely would NOT have done that his name would have been so interesting!
Joseph! Like the Joseph of genesis, Jacob’s Son? Well, the Joseph of genesis had dreams, right? I wonder if Mary’s Joseph will have dreams as well? And the Joseph of Genesis went to Egypt, although it wasn’t exactly his plan. . . I wonder if Mary’s Joseph might end up in Egypt?
And the Joseph of Genesis was righteous…
Will’s Mary’s Joseph have similar qualities?
the Joseph of Genesis saved the world by listening to God’s instructions and saving bread for people to eat.
Will Mary’s Joseph somehow save “bread” and insure God’s people are nourished?
More than 2000 years ago there was a man born contrary to the laws of life.
This man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity.
He received no formal education and never possessed wealth or widespread influence.
He never traveled extensively. He only once crossed the boundary of the country in which he lived.
But this man's life has changed the course of history.
In infancy he startled a king; in childhood he puzzled doctors; in manhood he ruled the course of nature, walked upon the waves, and hushed the sea to sleep.
He healed the multitudes without medicine and made no charge for his services.
He never wrote a book. Yet his life has inspired more books than any other person.
He never wrote a song. Yet he has furnished the theme for more songs than all songwriters combined.
He never founded a college. But all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.
He never marshaled an army, nor drafted a soldier, nor fired a gun. Yet no leader ever had more rebels surrender to him without a shot fired.
He never practiced psychiatry. Yet he has healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near.
Once each week the wheels of commerce cease their turning, and multitudes gather to pay homage and respect to him.
Though time has spread 2000 years between the people of this generation and his birth, he still lives.
His enemies could not destroy him, and the grave could not hold him.
This man stands forth upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, adored by his people, and feared by devils, as the risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
So I followed the Ghost of a King
With every step I tried to see beyond
For a trace of the riverside
But restlessness was my prize
And then we came upon a golden shore
But the Voice of fire
Wasn’t coming from a ghost no more
My heart of stone came alive
When my eyes were opened up
And I saw that I had come
yah i got the earth runners b/c of him too. back in may. LOL
I am a Christian. This bible verse is quite wonderful:
God frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end. (Job 5:12–13)

"Christmas has suffered much less from the heat of fanatical foes than from the coldness of frigid friends." (Chesterton)
May the glory of Christmas lever lose its luster! May the gospel never lose its power!
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; (Isaiah 53:6)
