The Church Addition

We're still moving through the bureaucratic log jam to get the addition started. Plans have been submitted (three times). A sprinkler system is being negotiated. Architectural and engineering stamps are being paid for and applied. You'd think we were building a New York high-rise. Keep praying, and thanks for your donations to the building fund.

Christmas Program

We're practicing after church every Sunday before December 18th. Parts are still available. See Kate Hilton.

We're inviting all our Shepherding Groups, and any others, to go Christmas caroling on Wednesday, December 14th from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. Meet at the church where we'll load up. Refreshments at our church afterwards.

The Season

"T'is is the season to be jolly...Fa-dala-fa-dala...la,la,la," or something like that. We used to sing this with feeling and sincerity, but not so much anymore. Our culture has become bellicose and fatalistic. We've lost touch with our blessings, and now, we concentrate on all that's wrong, not what's right. We are anxious about everything.

This is the devil's work. For he is a liar, a murderer and a deceiver (John 10.10).

I suppose this element has always been present to some degree, but it's especially prominent now, and more so when poor, degenerate, and influenced people go around shooting others.

So, what do we do? Well, "a small amount of leaven rises the whole lump." In other words, your persevering and temperate spirit is working a good result in the midst of calamity. While others are going nuts, you are being light (Matt.5.14-16). You are living in Christ, so those around you can see "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1.27).

Little wonder that Jesus told us, "Do not be anxious then, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe our-selves?'

For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things" (Matt.6.31-32).

And again, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and sup-plication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be m

ade known to God" (Phil.4.6).

Rejoice, Christian in this most glorious season! For God so loved the world that He came personally to bear the burden of our sin and to

liberate us from our carnality.

Hey, it's God who's in control, not us. In this season of Christmas, we need to start trusting Him again. We need to remember that God came to us; He sought us out; He called to us, and He promised us

eternal life with Him in glory. Fa-dala-fa-dala...la-la-la
