    For the lonely and downcast

    Christmas can be an isolating and painful experience for many. I just wanted to create a thread for anyone who is feeling miserable tonight. It's okay to feel alone; it's okay to feel broken; it's okay to feel exhausted and stressed. Christmas is a time when many are forced to spend time in...

    "Cards on the Table"

    An Original Work / December 12, 2018 As scriptures teach, I don’t believe There is a pre-trib rapture. From what I read, I do perceive That we’ll go all together. For Jesus said we would be there To see the tribulation. And some of us they’ll put to death, But we have our salvation. But don’t...

    Why I Don't Celebrate Christmas

    It really has nothing to do with the pagan roots of the holiday. That is in the past. What I object to and what I believe God objects to is what is happening in the present. The Focus on Santa Claus For one, Christmas is primarily about Santa Claus. It does not matter if you have never done...

    Why was Jesus placed in a manger?

Of course we all know that it shows how God left His glory and magnificence to come into poverty and lowliness in...

    A Christmas Poem

    An Original Work / December 25, 2020 You say that Christmas is about Jesus, The One who died on the cross to free us. You say that His birth you must celebrate – It must be celebrated on this date. But who foretold of this, it would come true? Who said that Jesus’ birth we must renew? Who said...

    Christmas: The Birth Of Transformative Christianity

    The most powerful scriptures on Christmas you will find in the Bible are not just those that describe the birth of the King of kings step by step of the way nor are they the ones that tell us how the shepherds or the wise men brought gifts for the little one born in a manger. These scriptures...
