Lift Your Spirit
On the cusp of turning the corner into a new year. How will you do this? What are your plans? Have you made any new commitments for the months ahead? Any life-altering decisions in the mix? As I look back over the past twelve months, there are things that I certainly would not want on […]

The Latin translation of the word ‘noel’ means ‘to give birth.’ So as we joyfully sing this Christmas classic of the first noel, we are commemorating the birth of Christ as a baby. In essence, the Messiah coming down to live among those whom He designed. Sounds a bit complex … and to a degree, […]

We all have one — our favorite Christmas song. And this is mine. Every year, I try to listen to a different artist’s rendition of this timeless classic. For the Believer, we pause and bend the knees of our heart when we consider the importance of what happened the night the Christ child was born. […]

As a mom of three adult children, it’s hard for me to think that the night Jesus came down was a silent one. I’ll agree with you that it was a holy night. A sanctified night. A night like no other in all history. Because it was His Story to tell. But silent? Hmmm … […]

“Maligayang Pasko!” (Tagalog for Merry Christmas) Christmas is the most loved seasons in the Philippines. So much, that they begin decorating in August. Sounds incredible, but that’s what the country believes should be done to express their love for the Savior. Even amongst those who do not share the Christian faith, a respect is given […]

There’s just something about hearing this song in the language of the people through whom Jesus came. Melts my ❤️ every time I listen. We joyfully sing and beckon Him to ‘Come!’ Yet, are we ready for what that entails? Are we prepared for Him to return again? He came the first time and was […]

Would you be willing to invite GOD to come to your house? Maybe consider inviting Him to spend just the day with you? If we’re totally honest, there are days we would NOT want Him to see — maybe our bad attitude, poor behavior, words hurled at others … If Jesus were to step into […]

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). Matthew 1:22-23 NIV Immanuel — GOD with us. This is mind-blowing if you really stop to think about it. GOD. With. Us. A […]
