“What would you like for Christmas?” It’s a fair question when you’re looking for gift ideas to buy for those you love. It can be a tough question to answer though for a lot of us adults. Most of us don’t have a clue. Many of us are so busy preparing for Christmas we haven’t taken the time to think of what we want. I pretty much already have everything I want, so I can be difficult to buy for.

Generally, kids are pretty quick to tell you what they want. You ask, they’ll tell you straight away! What it costs, or how difficult it might be to satisfy their desires doesn’t seem to matter much, after all it’s Christmas and getting gifts is what it’s all about…at least to little kids. I was once a little kid; I’m sure you remember being a kid and having your Christmas wish list too.

Okay, so let’s play like you’ve just asked me what I want for Christmas. 

Here is my wish list:

  • The first day of Christmas I would like all wars to end, and there be peace on earth, good will among all people
  • The second day of Christmas families everywhere would have their sons and daughters back home healthy and safe to stay
  • On the third day of Christmas the homeless finally find their happy homes
  • The fourth day of Christmas hungry people around the world are constantly fed
  • The fifth day of Christmas new jobs are there for those who want them
  • The sixth day of Christmas every new mother looks into the face of her healthy,  happy newborn baby, and her husband, the baby’s father proudly and confidently stands beside them
  • On the seventh day of Christmas my true love tells me of the joy we share
  • The eighth day of Christmas new beginnings are off to a wonderful start for all
  • The ninth day of Christmas the last drug addict and alcoholic have successfully recovered from their addictions
  • On the tenth day of Christmas families everywhere are reunited
  • The eleventh day of Christmas faith is restored to all who suffer and they are healed of all their diseases

And on the twelfth day of Christmas I wish for God to get His wish…that all His people realize how much He loves them, and they accept His Son, Jesus Christ as their personal savior! 
Here's hoping I get everything on my Christmas Wish list!

A Dead Battery

Last year, around the end of summer, our power-mower gave up the ghost. It was getting harder and harder to start every time I wanted to use it. So, I finally gave in to buying a new one. Bless her heart, my wife Sally told me if she didn’t have to pull that difficult, old starter-cord every time she wouldn’t mind helping me mow every once in a while. She even said it might be good exercise for her. This extra help with the yard work would be welcomed I thought. I went online checking out the outrageous prices of new lawnmowers; it had been four or five years since I bought our last one. Most of the retailers; Lowes, Home Depot,  WalMart and Sears were priced about the same, still way too much for me, but if I was going to get something Sally could start easily it would have to be one of the new key-start models where she didn’t have to pull a cord, she could just turn the key, like her car, and it would start right up. I bought one of these new models.They are great! Last week, an

We Rob God

Were God a greedy God He would expect ninety percent of our earnings leaving us the remaining ten to support our needs, He doesn’t though. Instead, He asks exactly the opposite of our potential, one tenth, a tithe. Have we excluded God out of our plans? Sure we have! Do we continue to exclude Him from what we want to believe is rightfully our world, our government, our lives? We not only exclude Him, we deny Him of what is rightfully His from the very beginning. Even worse, as a nation, a world, a people we deny He exist! We have declared He has no place in our government, our public buildings, and our schools. Pity us, it is no wonder we are under a curse as a nation with so much turmoil in our lives – we are robbing God. This is not a sermon, but wait, yes, it is! We are truly guilty of “me-ism.” We have become a world of “what about me?” Our insatiable greed has consumed us, so we have no choice but to continue feeding our monster, because it’s demanding more and more. Nothing is

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
