Wait, Come Back Here!!! (the Typical Average Boy Story)

I arrived at the church campout all in one piece, which was a pretty great achievement for me.  I suggested to my older brother that we throw a party the next day, but he just told me to grow up, and not to push my luck. At the campout our youth pastor, Pastor Philemon (a.k.a. Phil), suggested that we play a game outside.  Actually, he ordered us to play a game outside so that we […] Read more »

December 5, A Light Shines in the Darkness

Christmas Candle

December is one of the darkest months of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere.  And it is fitting that our holidays make use of beautifully colored lights and candles during this time.  If you take a drive during this month, you are likely to see houses, shops, and streets decorated and shining with brilliant displays. The prophet Isaiah used light to describe the coming of the Savior.  In Isaiah 9:2 we read, “The people […] Read more »

December 4, O Little Town of Bethlehem

One of the ways we know that Jesus was the promised Savior is because of all the prophecies he fulfilled.  And one of those prophecies concerns the little town of Bethlehem.  You know the song, don’t you?  “O Little Town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie…”  You’ll probably sing it yourself a few times this month.  If it hadn’t have been for Jesus being born in Bethlehem, I doubt any of us would […] Read more »

December 3, What’s in a Name?

The prophet Isaiah had much to say about the promised Savior who was coming. This is what he said in Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”  That’s quite a name, isn’t it? We can learn a lot about God from […] Read more »

December 2, Immanuel, God with Us

At the beginning of Creation, God promised to send a Savior to deliver mankind from the punishment of their sin.  Years went by, and the promised Savior had not come.  But prophets who spoke God’s messages to the people of Israel foretold of the Savior’s coming.  Here is what the prophet Isaiah had to say.  “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign; Behold, a virgin will conceive, and give birth to a son, […] Read more »

December 1, God Promises to Send a Savior

Christmas is the season when we celebrate the birth of Jesus.  Do you know when the very first promise was made that Jesus was going to come into the world?  It was a very long time ago, when the world was first created.  Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God’s command not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  Their punishment was death and eternal separation from God in Hell.  […] Read more »
