The following music video is a song by Brandon Heath which sings of our mission as Christ's disciples, to love like God.
May we, as disciples of Christ, love a little more this day, show mercy to those who hurt us, and have hope in the goodness of humanity. May we be known to everyone as followers of Jesus because of the love we have for one another.
God Bless, and Merry Christmas!

Trust Is Tough
Trust in Jesus Completely
by: Kristin Ball
What is it that will set me free?
To be willing to plant the seed
to let go of my worldly stuff
everything that can make life rough.
A house and cars bring me down
as I try to maintain solid ground.
Oh, but to have just a little more
of all the things I think I adore,
but the stuff only makes life harder
when I forget everything comes from the Father.
He sent His Son so I could see
that the Truth is everything that frightens me.
It's service and sacrifice
which will bring true joy
not having every little gadget
and must have toy.
Letting go of my wants
and giving it all away.
Instead of holding onto it
and watching it slowly decay.
What is it that will set me free?
Knowing the Love of the Awesome Three
The Son who came to earth to show the Way
To Our Father in Heaven, I will see some Day
The Spirit is Life, the breath of my Soul
This is the Truth that makes me whole!
Jesus can make you whole, too. Seek him this Christmas Season!
Merry Christmas, 2009

The Unknown Day and Hour
With all the hype about 2012, we need to ask ourselves a very important question: Who is Jesus? Who is this historical man who taught amazing truths about God, was crucified, died, and was buried. Rose again and Ascended into heaven, promising to come again? Are his words worth believing and what must I do to follow Him?
Jesus is definitely the hot topic, the buzz around town, who still, after 2000 years, stirs in the human heart the passion of love or contemptuous hatred. He's the one most talked about even though the effort is to stifle his name.
For believers, like myself, it makes sense that Jesus is a Man who still changes the world, but for others, it's a problem. Why eliminate Merry Christmas from the public language, and focus only on the secular Santa legend for the Christmas holiday? Why do so many loud voices try to drown out the name of Jesus during this Christmas season? Because Jesus is a threat to the evil of this world, he is the Truth we all seek, and this deceptive world wants to bury the Truth.
It was attempted 2000 years ago, but the Truth could not be destroyed. He walked out of His tomb, he rose from the dead; he ate, taught, and walked with his disciples for 40 days before returning to heaven. He promised the Apostles he would come again, and that's what we are waiting for now, His return, which will mark the end of this world as we know it, and it seems we are nearing that day. Not to sound doomsday or anything, but the signs of the times are evident according to Jesus' prophecies. As Christians, we look forward to that day.
It will be a time of great pains, but for believers, great joy as well. We know that war, famine, earthquakes, and terrible calamities will fall upon our earth, but Jesus will come soon after to bring eternal peace and justice. For all those who trust in the Lord's Mercy, we will share in His Kingdom. Now is the time to accept Jesus, the Life, the Truth, and the Way, and know His Mercy. Because when He comes again, He will bring his justice, and we, the believers, his Saints, will fight the evil with Him and help Him create a new heaven and earth. Wow! Doesn't that sound awesome?
Find freedom from the fears that control your life, your thoughts. Find freedom from the death of sin and find hope for the gift of life. The true Messiah, Jesus Christ, told us the way to the Father, it is through Him. And with the power of the Holy Spirit, which came upon the Apostles and filled them with the gifts to boldly speak the Truth, the Church was born, and still thrives to this day. Through Scripture, prayer, and the Church, you can know the Truth of Jesus, and accept him as your Lord and Savior, and have his mercy and peace with a confident hope for the unknown future.
Discover his Mercy for yourself. Seek and you will find, Jesus.
