1 Corinthians 13:11  KJV  “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”

 

Hello Truth Seekers and Believers,

This letter is coming a little early because of Christmas Eve and Christmas Holiday. During this time of year, strong opinions often rise. Some people do not celebrate Christmas because they believe it has become too commercial or that it is not a day appointed by God. That is a personal choice. But let us remember something important: every day reveal reasons to celebrate God.

 

We live in the world, and yes, nearly everything of value gets commercialized. Influence always attracts attention. That should never stop believers from honoring God. We do not worship in the flesh. We worship in spirit and in truth. Some celebrate quietly.  

Some celebrate openly. Some choose not to celebrate at all. That is between them and God. What we must not do is tell other believers how and when they should honor the birth of Jesus Christ.  There is nothing evil about Christmas.  You don’t need money to celebrate and honor God. 

How you celebrate Christmas -commercial or not is up to you.  The point is for all believers and nations all over the world to come together to honor and celebrate the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ-Salvation.

 

Joshua 24:15  KJV  “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

 

Jesus welcomed sinners, and He still does. He never leaves them the same. 

Romans 3:23 KJV   “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

When we believe, grace steps in. What is imperfect is being made whole.  He accepts us as we are, but once the blood of Jesus covers us, a relationship begins—and change follows.

Hebrews 10:14 – For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

That is when you understand the truth behind the words of an old hymn: This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me, and the world can’t take it away. That joy comes from prayer, praise, obedience, and repentance. It comes from walking in a relationship with God daily.

The year ahead will bring real challenges for many—but God has already spoken His promise: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” He fights for us in ways no human ever could. People may stand with us in the natural, but only God fights in the spiritual realm.

Only God can redeem us with perfect peace, heal instantly, forgive completely, and wipe away sin through true repentance, all while offering the unshakable promise of eternal life. He is the Way Maker, the Defender, and the Keeper of our souls.

Wherever you are, you can pray. You do not need an appointment, a sacrifice, or permission from anyone. That alone is a priceless gift. Through obedience and repentance, no spiritual force outside of God has authority over your life. That kind of protection cannot be bought.

We may come to God one way—but we do not stay that way.  The blood of Jesus makes the difference.

Ephesians 2:6-10 KJV ⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: ⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. ⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast. ¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them

 

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄✨

May the peace, joy, and hope that come from Christ fill your heart and your home.

Wishing you rest, renewal, and strength as you move forward  into 2026 in faith.

Romans 10:17 KJV  “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 

A CALL TO SALVATION:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

 John 3:5-6⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷
