Some notes and verses taken from a message given by Dr. David Jeremiah in 2019 and broadcast Sunday morning, January 03, 2021: Job was a good, rich, and godly man who suffered a rapid-fire series of devasting losses: 1:14, Oxen, donkeys, and servants were killed by enemies. 1:16, Sheep and servants were killed by fire....

2021 Cometh
Colossians 3:1-4, If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Christmas Ponderings
Luke 2:18-19, And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. I wonder as I wander out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come forth to die. For poor orn’ry people like you and like I, I wonder as... Continue Reading →
Christmas Wonder
In only a couple of ways do I hesitate in sending you another musing on the same day, but the point Piper makes is so what I was convicted by on the mountain back in October and tried to present in the past two sermons, that I must pass this on to you. Oh, may our... Continue Reading →
Christmas ’20
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Luke 2:12, “And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” Remember the manger is a sign - only a sign.

And some are quite... Continue Reading →

Editing
According to Philippians 2:15, we live in a crooked (twisted/lying) and perverse (dark/immoral) generation (world/society). If that is the case, we are surrounded by danger. Are we aware? Are we armored up and with eyes on Jesus constantly? We should be! The world is about rewriting, inventing and destroying (John 10:10) so we must be both aware and active spiritually....

The Mark
The mandate by the government that all must wear a mask if not at least 6 feet from others and not of the same household is a really big pill to swallow! Who could have thought that the government would first have the gall for such a thing and then secondly, the authority to make such... Continue Reading →
