Lord, I want to spend the rest of my days making sure I know You and making sure You know me and making sure You are made known to everyone in this world You will entrust me to tell about You. My heart cries out, "No more missed opportunities!" In Your Wonderful Name, I pray, Jesus. Amen
...Be My Witnesses... (Acts 1:8b)

The Afterglow of Pentecost = Life Together
My dearest brothers and sisters in God's Family of faith, hope, and love. I offer to you today, these passionate and powerful New Testament words, :
The Afterglow of Pentecost
(41) On that day about three thousand believed his (The Apostle Peter's) message and were baptized. (42)They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together.
Life Together Among the Lord's Followers
(43) Everyone was amazed by the many miracles and wonders that the apostles worked. (44) All the Lord's followers often met together, and they shared everything they had. (45) They would sell their property and possessions and give the money to whoever needed it. (46) Day after day they met together in the temple. They broke bread together in different homes and shared their food happily and freely, (47) while praising God. Everyone liked them, and each day the Lord added to their group others who were being saved.
-- Acts 2:41-47 (CEV)
Lord, be glorified in our Unity today and day-by-day, I pray.

John Wesley's Good Friday Message In 1790
John Wesley wrote this in his journal about the place he preached and the passage he preached on Good Friday in 1790:
"I preached in a new House that would in nowise (couldn't possibly) contain the congregation; but I preached to as many as it would contain on 1 Corinthians 6:19."
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own... (NIV)
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself... (NLT)
Lord, on this day, we remember that You surely surrendered Your all for all of us. Yes, You gave up everything for everyone who would look to You and live forever. Lord, I am not my own. I belong to You, Christ. Let The Holy Spirit indwell my body, Your temple, today and tomorrow, and for forever. Amen.

Lord...You Keep Your Promises.
Seems like this week I need to know and to trust that God keeps His promises more than ever. This verse solidifies my soul like an anchor in the Solid Rock:
LORD God of Heaven, You are great and fearsome. And You faithfully keep Your promises to everyone who loves You and obeys Your commands. -- Nehemiah 1:5 (CEV)
My Lord, You Are Faithful and I am...

God is Real!
If there were no God, there would be no atheists.
-- G. K. Chesterton
But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and that He rewards everyone who searches for Him.
-- Hebrews 11:6 (CEV)
By Faith! In Faith! (Hebrews 11)

Everyone Who Believes in Him... Come!
In all the public pageantry of Christmas, let's not miss the personal promise of Christmas. Jesus came to be more than a decoration. The Son came to be the Father's demonstration of love, that we might be delivered from every sin and the eternal death it deals.
The personal promise of Christmas is a directed declaration to all who will individually embrace His inclusive invitation recorded in John 3:16-17 (NLT):
(16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. (17) God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
This Christmas will you and be among Everyone Who Believes in Him? Will we come to the earthly cradle and receive God's Heavenly Compassion? Will we come?

Everyone Gets It? Not Everyone Gives It?
When it comes to generoisty, obedience, and sacrificial giving, is it possible that everyone gets it, but not everyone gives it?
You are generous because of your faith. And I am praying that you will really put your generosity to work, for in so doing you will come to an understanding of all the good things we can do for Christ.
-- Philemon 1:6 (NLT)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

The Other John 3:16? Give Up?
We're all familiar with John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
But I invite you to also consider with me on this wonderful Christmas Day the similar words of the other John 3:16. THE OTHER JOHN 3:16? Yes, 1 John 3:16. Here it is: We know what real love is because Christ gave up His life for us. And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.
Abba Father, on this Christmas Day, we give praise to You for so loving us that on that first Christmas Day You gave us Your only Son in Bethlehem's Manger. We are so grateful, too, that we know even more clearly what real love is because Your only Son gave up His life for us on Calvary's Cross. Help us to now GIVE UP our own lives for our Christian brothers and sisters so that we will prove to the world that we are Yours. Amen.
ALL.. JOY TO YOUR WORLD... All the boys and girls, now!

...To Forgive Us, Not To Forget Us!
When we hear John 3:16-17, we should know undeniably that God gave His Son to forgive us, not to forget us! God sent His Son to be the World's Savior from Heaven, not Heaven's Bully to Earth!
Hear these Christmas words of Jesus written in John's Good News Report, verses 16 & 17 (NLT): (16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. (17) God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
Because God didn't forget us, there is a Christmas. Let us remember Him during these Holy Days of Advent and beyond. In the words of that moving contemporary love song, it seems I can hear the Lord saying: I will remember you. Will you remember Me?"
ALL... JOY TO YOUR WORLD!
