Weekly Inspiration Greetings from Pastor James, People will say you are a fanatic because you believe in the magic of Christmas. Some people will mock you and say you are a fanatic if you believe that the birth of Christ is what the celebration is all about. Just look at the mockery of God’s Word and the twisting of truth in today’s society. They say Happy Holiday and you say Merry Christmas. We are busy in our everyday lives getting ready for Christmas in the secular sense by shopping, decorating, cooking and sending cards. We are busy doing a lot of things in the church to prepare for the coming of Christmas. With all this going on, when is there time for preparation of the heart. We are to make our lives ready for the coming of Christ. I know you are busy and have a lot to do. But if you don’t take time in your life to prepare your heart for the birth of Christ then you have missed the most important part of Christmas. Read Luke 3:1-6. Prepare for the coming of Christ this Christmas by making room in your heart for Him. Understand that the true celebration of the coming of Christ is not at the office Christmas party. It is not what is under the tree. The true celebration takes place in the heart. Focus on the true Spirit of Christmas and the Spirit of God will remind you how blessed we are this Christmas. Let the Spirit of God into your heart. God has given us a wonderful gift. God has given us a bundle of grace that was once laid in a manger and is now born into our hearts. “Make room and let the Child of God into your heart this Christmas.” The gift He has for you is certainly more precious than any you could possibly put under a Christmas tree. A wonderous gift that is always giving. Receive it today. It renews, restores and brings hope, peace joy and love all rolled up into one and lasts through eternity. Come worship at Living Water Christian Church. Find out how to prepare your heart to make room for the Christ Child. Learn to truly celebrate Christmas by letting Jesus into your heart. Invite Him in. It is His Birthday. Ready or Not He is coming. It is your choice. Choose to Be ready. Blessings to all, Pastor James Boyette 72 N Lake Ave. Front Royal VA 22630 lwccsv.org |
