Of course, I'm referring to a Personal "GIFT" of or from yourself! Actually , for me the "GIFT" I would be honored to give Christ is the same GIFT that God blessed me with, A life of normality with a wholesome family of wife, mother, and two gloriously beautiful children. Oh, and let's not forget the family dog.....lololol :) Truely my spiritual family, I have to say that the one "CROSS" that I thought I would have to bear my entire life is the gift that I can give in return for God's blessings because by staying pure in mind in spirit and flesh for 40+plus years, I can see God smiling on this old cajun boy for continuing HIS legacy.

Blessings

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry CHRIST mas

I would give Christ my life and my devotion. I am glad God loves antiques because He surely has one with this broken down old relic.

What can I give Him

Poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd

I would bring a lamb

If I were a wise man

I would do my part

Yet, what I have, I give Him

Give Him my heart

Best gift I could give him would be not to celebrate Christmas which is nothing more than a pagan holiday created by man. Nowhere in the bible does it state we are to celebrate Christmas and I personally believe my God to be to humble to want us to do so. Remember it and be thankful yes but to celebrate the way we do is wrong. Humans use Christmas as a way to give and receive gifts from each other not give to the Lord and I'd venture to say most people when they get together on Christmas do so for the gifts they get than to celebrate the Birth Of Christ.

People will go to church on the Sunday before Christmas because it's the PC thing to do in today's society. Then on Christmas morning they get up open presents then go off to relatives houses to have a feast then open more presents and afterwards most of the men settle in for some football and the woman sit around and have their gossip session while the kids play with their new toys. After all that everyone goes home and complains about having to go to work the next day.

Christmas as a holiday is nothing but a big joke because people attach christ to it but then don't bother to actually include him in it except for maybe some manger scene decoration which again is just to impress others as the PC thing to do.

So you've judged everybody who celebrates Christmas, this way.........................

Quite the strong feelings on the subject, Shad.

Celebrating Christmas is just like celebrating birthdays, easter, labor day, valentines day. Its all good. No need to do away with it. It isn't wrong. Its good to get together with family.

Sounds like maybe you had a bad Christmas in the past?

Nope I just don't believe in the commercialization of the holiday by humans who use Jesus as a reason to get gifts they normally wouldn't get. And yes I agree it's good to get together with family for the right reason though not because we expect to get gifts.

My family did the whole "Santa Clause" *edit by Mod*when we were kids and it wall all fine and dandy until I was grown and realized what Christmas was all about and the way we humans exploit it to fulfill our wants is disgusting.

My point being not to take yourself or Christmas too seriously. Its not disgusting. If you want to get nitty gritty with it, Dec 25st isn't even Christ's birthday, its completely different because of the Jewish calandar system. Christmas doesnt necessarily need to be about Christ. Its good to get gifts for people you love, to show them you love them. The only people i know or have met who get excited to RECIEVE presents are children. I've not met an adult yet who was more excited about recieving than giving. I know when i shop, the most fun i have at christmas is shopping for my wife, and my parents.

People don't get together at the holidays because they expect gifts. They get together to be together. Its a nice time to show your family you love them, which is far more important than re-reading the Christmas Story out of the Bible. There's nothing wrong with Christmas, the idea.

I will agree that commercialism is at an all time high around the holidays. But business is business.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
