The word for my article this month is “Incarnation.” When Christians use the word “Incarnation,” we mean the fact that God became human. This awesome mystery of our Christian Faith is taught most vividly in John 1:14,17,18: “14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace …
As we start a New Year, let us hear the words of Philippians 2:12,13: “12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” Philippians 2:12 …
Have you ever just wanted to call a friend and unload your troubles, find a shoulder to cry on or share with someone who can understand what you are facing?

This month I will concentrate on the importance of reading through the New Testament and focusing on the amazing details of our God becoming fully man. The New Testament books can be divided into …

That will keep us so self-absorbed that we do not move forward with sanctification …

I think it is safe to say we all have experienced moments of cabin fever this past month. I am …
It is quite right that you should feel that “something terrific” has happened to you (It has) and be “all glowy.” Accept these sensations with thankfulness as birthday cards from God, but remember that they are only greetings, not the real gift.
