Merry Christmas and a happy 2011 to all! Have a wonderful time celebrating Jesus' coming to earth to take upon Himself the sins of the world and save us from sin and God's wrath.
As the temperatures have fallen lately here in Kansas, there have been fewer evangelism opportunities. Although lots of people are out shopping, there are very few who wish to talk about the real reason for the upcoming celebration. They are busy finding presents, frustrated with crowds and they don't want anything to get in their way. Tonight, our little street evangelism team is planning to visit a local mall and another shopping center. Our plan is to simply drift around and allow the Lord to guide us where He wants. Please join me in asking the Lord for a fruitful evening.
On an associated subject...this is just something I've been thinking about lately. What if your birthday were a month away and millions of people were preparing for a huge party with each family spending hundreds of dollars; even going into debt. Millions of them would be traveling to gather in large groups. Hours would be spent shopping, decorating homes and preparing feasts. Special music would be played on the radio and special programs would be broadcast on TV specifically for your upcoming birthday. In fact, what if the celebration of your birth was so huge that many business owners would look forward all year in anticipation of the economic impact of it to keep them in business. And then... what if you weren't invited, welcome, or even tolerated at the worldwide party held to honor your birth? Crazy, isn't it? Please invite the Lord Jesus Christ to your celebration of His birth.
Thank you for reading. God bless you!
