DEATH
Some hours ago the message came,
The solemn message of the dead.
(These are always given,
Given and received, with dread.)
Sad the duty to deliver,
Sadder yet to stand and take;
Someone else has gone in sleep;
We are still awake. – eab, Dec ’84
“A true Christian was never known to be a persecutor.”
– John Fletcher
There is no proof (of which I’m aware) that Jesus was born in “December,” let alone the 25th. There may not be even proof He was born in winter. (Please, Christian, do not get “hung-up” on dates, either when He came or when He comes again.) Jesus, the Christ, was born! That is the vastly important Past News. AND, Jesus Christ will come again. His coming is the vastly important Future News. Hark. -12/7/19
Mat 2.1
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem”
“The legs feel nothing in the stocks when the heart is in heaven”

Read your Bible with a straight edge & pen or with a high-lighter (mark the last page first to make sure it doesn’t “bleed” through). Make A.B.C. or 1.2.3 on the margin to help you see more quickly next reading what God showed you in this reading. Color code your thoughts by subject material. Keep a bookmarker in the spot(s) were you are reading. Use a computer file to type in your ideas or questions about a certain passage. Study God’s great Book! Study It like your life depends on It – – – it does. 12/9/19
“One of the chief merits in expository lecturing is that it requires one to preach about delicate subjects that one might otherwise dodge.”
