Christmas Firm Foundation

 

Amid our changing world it is nice to know that we have some constants, like the person of our faith, God.  He never changes, his intention to love us will stay the same.

Within the next Bible verse, we see a strong affirmation of this love for us.  Several centuries before its conception, the Son of God, Jesus was prophesied revealing who he is and the appearance of His Kingdom.

Here is the prophecy from the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9:6

For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son

shall be given;

And the government shall be upon His 

shoulder,

And His name shall be called Wonderful

Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

 

Within the season of Christmas, He is our Anchor for our faith.  We have been given a Son, the Son of God.  Unfathomably, the gender of this child was predicted so far ahead and that alone should fill us with wonder.  But also, the prediction of His occupation in this world.  The Ruler He would become is beyond our comprehension.  He is the Wonderful Counselor.  A counselor we can rely upon now and forever.  He is in His own Person, the Wonderful Counselor that we also know as the Holy Spirit at this present time ready to proclaim His Wisdom in us.

 

As some have wonder through the centuries about His deity, he is in fact the Mighty God and is One of the Person of the Trinity.  As well, He is the Everlasting Father which shows that as well as being the Son of God He is also our Everlasting Father shows that He is our One God in the same Trinity.  Which is to be accepted by faith and trust as it has come from God, the One who always speaks the Truth and who is the Truth forever and ever Amen!

And is He your Prince of Peace throughout every season of Life?

 

Now with this concrete evidence of who Jesus is you have the authority to celebrate Christmas with all confidence with His JOY.

Have a wonderful Christmas with the One who is ever so wonderful!

We will see you in the New Year 2026!

Prizing Wisdom

  Prize wisdom [and exalt her], and she will exalt you; She will honor you if you embrace her: “She will place on your head a garland of grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty and glory.” (Proverbs 4:8-9) Although physical exercise is somewhat important it is not as important as godly wisdom or godly living which come with promises For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of   value   in everything and in every way, since it holds promises for the present life and for the life to come. (Timothy 4:8). Jesus is Wisdom and let us all agree on this, He will never ask you to do more of something that would take His place or put that thing between Him and you.   Anything He ask you to do will be well-balanced and in agreement with the rest of Scriptures. We have prized other things so high that wisdom has taken the backseat to our lives.   For example, we prize fitness so high that it is, globally, a $257 billio...

Within The Valley

  Just imagine being in a valley called "Life"... On one side is 'gold' and on the other is 'truth'. It seems that our society is in a critical position and ready to decide about challenging issues like values and authenticity . A decision has to be made between idols that we have and God who is ready to accept us the way we are. What is an idol?  Anything that stands in front of us and replaces God. In Psalm 115:1-8 , we see clearly that God and idols are contrasted... "Not to us, O Lord, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth and faithfulness. Why should the nations say, Where, now, is their God? But our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases. The idols [of the nations] are silver and gold, The work of man's hands They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; They have ears, but cannot hear; They have noses, but cannot smell; They have hands, but cannot feel;...
