Silent Night
December 23, 2008 - 26 Kislev, 5769The Reason Jesus Came
December 5, 2008 - 8 Kislev, 5769On This Christmas season I wanted to reflect for a moment on the opposite end of Jesus earthly life. Christmas is a day arbitrarily chosen as a day to celebrate His birth, but why was He born. He came to be the sacrifice that would take away both the power and guilt of our sins.It is through His blood that we have the victory over Satan.
I have embedded below a video of the song We are the Reason. The song was originally written by David Meece and redone by Avalon. The video below shows clips of scenes from the Passion of the Jesus Christ played to the Avalon version of the song.
When you view the video below think about this. If God loves us enough to send His Son to suffer so brutally then He will not withhold any good thing from us. Allow this video to strenghthen your faith and love for the Lord. As for me He is worthy of my all. If my association with and witness for Christ results in the loss of freedom, possessions or even my life then He is worthy of such sacrifice. Many now suffer for Him and soon in America Christian will suffer as the result of dramatic changes soon to unfold.

The Star of Bethlehem is not Proof that the Bible supports Astrology
December 13, 2007 - 4 Tevet, 5768Every Christmas season we hear the usual propaganda by occultists and New Agers who claim that the so-called Star of Bethlehem is proof that the Bible supports astrology. A closer look at the text will clearly show that the star of Bethlehem is not a star at all

The Mystery of the God Man
January 18, 2009 - 22 Tevet, 5769One of the great truths of the Christian Faith is that Jesus Christ is both God and Man. How is this possible? We must first understand the nature of man in order to see how some can be God and Man
Man Created in the Image of God.|
Genesis declares that man is created in the image of God. When we read how man was created in the image of God the mystery of the God-Man is solved. God breathed into the first man the breath of life. The word for breath can also mean spirit. A finite puff of spirit from God entered into man. When God breathed the breath of life into mankind He imparted into man a finite copy of His own Spirit. When man became a living soul He had a body of flesh, a spirit that is a finite copy of the Spirit of God, and a soul which was the intersection of spirit and body
God with us.
Immanuel is one of the names for Jesus. It means God with us. Jesus had a body made of human flesh, he had a Spirit as we do, and the Spirit and body intersected in a soul.He is therefore 100% human. What was different about Jesus was that His Spirit was not a copy of the Spirit of God but is in fact the exact same Spirit of God that proceeds from God the Father. This means that Jesus is 100% God because His Spirit is the Spirit of God.
