Keeping Christmas Christian

The common root in the word “Christmas” and “Christian” is “Christ.” A true Christian is a follower of Christ, not merely one who mentally acknowledges the existence of Christ. Christmas is the worshipful celebration of the incarnation of Christ coming to the earth in human form to be the Lamb of God to save us…

Christ was born in human form and named Jesus because He would save His people from their sins, which is what the angel said to Joseph in Matthew 1. This is why the incarnation of God the Son was so necessary for God’s redemption of man through His Messiah. Christ had to be born of…

Jesus is the Light of the World

In the beginning of creation, “God said let there be light and there was light”, as recorded in Genesis. In John 1, the Word is also identified as “the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” This Light that lighteth every man that comes into the world is sourced in the…

Merry Incarnation Celebration

I am thankful for God’s goodness. God is always faithful to His people and to His promises. I am so thankful for God’s goodness to me in my life and in my ministry. I have been so blessed in the ministry experiences I have been part of and the churches I have served in over…

I Have a Prayer

I Have a Prayer Well, actually I have many prayers that I pray on a regular basis. But when I wrote that, I was thinking of Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech from six decades ago that he gave in Washington DC at the mall of our nation’s capital. I agree with…
