Immanuel: God's Greatest Christmas Gift
It’s Christmas Eve and by now, us guys, we should be getting started on the Christmas Shopping! But seriously, Christmas is a great time for family, giving and sharing the “Christmas Spirit”! But are we stopping to soak in what Christmas is all about? I mean, we all know that it is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, but are we really taking in all that this signifies?“"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us).”Matthew 1:23 Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of the greatest gift God could have ever given us. Our Lord and Savior! In perfect conception that only God could pull off, he sent his Son to save us...They called him Immanuel, God among us. I mean, he's the almighty and powerful creator, yet what He wants to be known for is that He's with us. This really is the theme of the Bible: God created and loves us, sin separated us from Him, and the rest of the Bible is the story of how God brought us close again through Jesus. It’s the greatest story ever told and it’s the story of our salvation!Merry Christmas to all of you!Be Nice, Grace WinsFMJ**We’ll start back Monday, I’ve got some eatin’ and goofin’ off to do in the next few days!

Sorry Enough to Change
There's a big difference between saying sorry and actually being sorry. Repentance means turning away from the wrong, sorry enough to change. God's love means He will always forgive us.

Retreat or Restore
After our greatest failures, we want to hide. But hiding means nobody helps clean up the mess. Real men own up, confess, and let God cleanse. Retreat or repent and restore, what will you choose?

Find Him in the Ordinary
We get excited about big blessings, but His blessings are everywhere if we'll just look. The little chats. The slight smile. Even the dogs that need us. All of it is praiseworthy.
