Merry Christmas to all of you. God never marked the day of Jesus birth on His Biblical calendar. It was likely during the Feast of Tabernacles in September or October, but December 25th was chosen in A.D. 440. The Bible does not record a date, but we do have the details. And two places in … Continue reading They Shall Call His Name Immanuel

Unto Us a Child is Born
Jesus didn't come as a conquering king or fierce warrior. He came as a child, an innocent baby that cried when He was hungry and slept when He was tired. When Isaiah wrote this verse centuries before His birth, Holy Spirit anointed him with just the right words to use. Isaiah 9:6 is a bold … Continue reading Unto Us a Child is Born

Closing Thoughts on the Armor of God
As warriors for the King, we are called to put on the Armor of God. But we've discovered through this series that God's idea of armor and man's idea of armor is very different.

Now, this Sword is the only defensive weapon in our armor. As children of God, we are taught to love, forgive, and show mercy. Still, He gives us a sword--an instrument of war, to maim or to kill.

Armor of God Part 5

As I illustrated in the introduction of this series, the armor of God doesn't look like the armor of a Roman soldier. Instead, it resembles the everyday clothing of a priest in the Temple. The other thing you may not know is Temple priests did not wear shoes. They were barefoot. This being the case, what does … Continue reading What Does it Mean to Shod Your Feet with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace? Armor of God – Part 4
