Merry Christmas Family!

It’s still Christmas in the Christian Church. There are literally 12 Days of Christmas beginning December 25 through January 5. January 6 begins the season of Epiphany in the Christian Church. If you want to know what the song The Twelve Days of Christmas means with each of the day’s representative symbols, let me know. I’ll send you an article on it.

Today’s message for Christmas focuses on despots, despotism, and despotic authoritarian rule. This hardly seems like a Christmas message, especially given some of history’s most horrific despots: Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong-Il. Nevertheless, Simeon’s Song from Luke 2 deals with despots, and is surprisingly very applicable to our lives today.

Hi Family!!

‘Merry’ in the Olde English means ‘mighty and strong’. This is the season we remember the reason. It’s all about God’s greatest gift to all humanity. And still, so many still refuse to receive this free gift with no strings attached.

Readings: Isaiah 52:7-10; Galatians 4:4-7; John 1:1-14

Luke 2:1-20 in the King James–just because it’s Christmas!
