...................No Jesus, No peace...Know Jesus, Know Peace....................
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. – Isaiah 26:3

Christmas and the Crisis
Bethlehem was more than a manger scene—it was the moment God stepped into our broken world. In the midst of sin and sorrow, He brought hope, grace, and new life through Jesus Christ. This message invites us to see Christmas not as a tradition, but as God’s answer to our deepest need and His promise of peace in every crisis.

The All-Important Thing
You and I can’t conceive the intense and enthusiastic devotion to the person of Christ that the early church had. We are so involved in methods. I get rather amused at all of these band-aid courses that are making band-aid believers. And they’re the problem today, and a great many people think if they get a few rules, and they think that solves the Christian life. May I put it in a nutshell? Do you love Jesus Christ? And I don’t care what your system is, they all come to naught if you don’t love Him. And if you love Him—well, some systems are better than others, but most any system will work if you love Him. That’s the important thing.
...Daily Promises...
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. (Psalm 18:28)
The earth is a haven for darkness and the things that lurk and creep. Foul is the world and thick is its shadow. The dim murk of this fallen land threatens all that is living and fair. We would be swallowed and bound in slavery to that dark roiling but that we are become children of light. The Father of Light guides our paths and so our ways become clear. His Son is the Light of the world and the darkness flees from before His glory! Abide in Him, dear believer, and rejoice that you can now see!
...Only Jesus Will Do...
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. — Luke 1:48
No one else can forgive you from your sin, only Jesus!

I don’t know what your thoughts are on this but the actions of this mother are at best irresponsible. I have no problem with parents teaching their children how to swim, but there has got to be better and safer ways to do so than what she is doing. Twice the child is submerged in the water. Despite appearing to be safe most of the time, the child doesn’t feel like he is safe. His mother may not go so far as to sit back and let him drown, but did she ever take into account that her son still could have gotten water into his lungs which in and of itself can be a serious situation, or that her actions could have also triggered other serious conditions known as “dry drowning?”

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (December 14th)
"I am crucified with Christ." — Galatians 2:20
The Lord Jesus Christ acted in what He did as a great public representative person, and His dying upon the cross was the virtual dying of all His people. Then all His saints rendered unto justice what was due, and made an expiation to divine vengeance for all their sins. The apostle of the Gentiles delighted to think that as one of Christ's chosen people, he died upon the cross in Christ. He did more than believe this doctrinally, he accepted it confidently, resting his hope upon it. He believed that by virtue of Christ's death, he had satisfied divine justice, and found reconciliation with God. Beloved, what a blessed thing it is when the soul can, as it were, stretch itself upon the cross of Christ, and feel, "I am dead; the law has slain me, and I am therefore free from its power, because in my Surety I have borne the curse, and in the person of my Substitute the whole that the law could do, by way of condemnation, has been executed upon me, for I am crucified with Christ."
But Paul meant even more than this. He not only believed in Christ's death, and trusted in it, but he actually felt its power in himself in causing the crucifixion of his old corrupt nature. When he saw the pleasures of sin, he said, "I cannot enjoy these: I am dead to them." Such is the experience of every true Christian. Having received Christ, he is to this world as one who is utterly dead. Yet, while conscious of death to the world, he can, at the same time, exclaim with the apostle, "Nevertheless I live." He is fully alive unto God. The Christian's life is a matchless riddle. No worldling can comprehend it; even the believer himself cannot understand it. Dead, yet alive! crucified with Christ, and yet at the same time risen with Christ in newness of life! Union with the suffering, bleeding Saviour, and death to the world and sin, are soul-cheering things. O for more enjoyment of them!

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (December 15th)
"Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth clave unto her." — Ruth 1:14
Both of them had an affection for Naomi, and therefore set out with her upon her return to the land of Judah. But the hour of test came; Naomi most unselfishly set before each of them the trials which awaited them, and bade them if they cared for ease and comfort to return to their Moabitish friends. At first both of them declared that they would cast in their lot with the Lord's people; but upon still further consideration Orpah with much grief and a respectful kiss left her mother in law, and her people, and her God, and went back to her idolatrous friends, while Ruth with all her heart gave herself up to the God of her mother in law. It is one thing to love the ways of the Lord when all is fair, and quite another to cleave to them under all discouragements and difficulties. The kiss of outward profession is very cheap and easy, but the practical cleaving to the Lord, which must show itself in holy decision for truth and holiness, is not so small a matter. How stands the case with us, is our heart fixed upon Jesus, is the sacrifice bound with cords to the horns of the altar? Have we counted the cost, and are we solemnly ready to suffer all worldly loss for the Master's sake? The after gain will be an abundant recompense, for Egypt's treasures are not to be compared with the glory to be revealed. Orpah is heard of no more; in glorious ease and idolatrous pleasure her life melts into the gloom of death; but Ruth lives in history and in heaven, for grace has placed her in the noble line whence sprung the King of kings. Blessed among women shall those be who for Christ's sake can renounce all; but forgotten and worse than forgotten shall those be who in the hour of temptation do violence to conscience and turn back unto the world. O that this morning we may not be content with the form of devotion, which may be no better than Orpah's kiss, but may the Holy Spirit work in us a cleaving of our whole heart to our Lord Jesus.
