The True Meaning of Christmas
By-Crickettt
Luke 2:1-20-And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augusts, that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be taxed with Mar
The Bible contains many scriptures regarding loving one another and helping others in need. It is so important to God, that several Books of the Bible have repeated His command to love and do good to those in need. Jesus stated in Matthew 25, whatever we do to take care of those in need, we are doing the same unto Him. We can see the same instructions in James 2: 8-9, 15-17; 1Peter 4:8-9; 1John 2:9-11; 1John 3:17; 1John 4:7-11. We reveal the love of God when we show kindness to those in nee
The Importance of Prayer

This week I want to share with you one of my blogs I had written years ago. I have a blog section on our site here that contains Bible Studies and other inspirational materials God has given me in my journals since 1989. I have cherished all of the words and lessons the Holy Spirit has given me and taught me as I continue in Him. I am always learning and finding out new mysteries in His Word as He reveals Himself to me. I am so humbled that God/Yahweh would speak to me in my journals and in
Seasons in Life

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
"There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven— A time to be born and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to ref
