God uses those things this world does not esteem to convey those things that belong the heavenly realm.  Only by seeing these lowly things as God sees them, or to ‘sanctify’ them, can we realize the Father’s eternal plan and purpose and live a truly spiritual life.

We celebrate Christmas with the giving of gifts because of the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. That gift transcends nations and cultures and every designation man has put upon himself. The gift of Christ is designed to be both received and given as those who have truly been recievers recognize the need to share that gift with the world around them.  It belongs to them too!

Jesus continually used the circumstances of the surrounding world to draw attention to what God was doing in the lives of His followers. He continues this practice today by calling us to look at the current state of things in this world and to recognize how they align with biblical prophecy. We must open our spiritual eyes to the world around us!

Jesus began His ministry saying “come and follow me”.  As time progressed, they learned that He was calling them to be much more than followers.  That calling would only fully come about when the Holy Spirit was given and they were transformed from followers into participators in the Father’s will.

Like the cities mentioned in this title who were prominent cities in Israel, America has been blessed by God. As a people we have experienced the outpouring of His spirit, including many signs, wonders, and miracles.  If we are not good stewards of these blessings, He will give our portion to another.

Solomon is rememberd by most as the man who had many wives. Nevertheless, Solomon was a man who went out of his way to seek and worship God. The result of Solomon’s sincere pursuit was that God appeared to Him and told him to ask anything and it would be granted him. Solomon was rewarded for seeking more of God than just declaring His name.

Life is full of choices.  Choosing to follow Christ is the most essential decision we can make in our lives. However, once we have chosen Christ, an equally essential choice remains. Will we choose to walk in the religious path that Jesus said many will surrender to in this life, or will we choose to walk in the spiritual path that Jesus and the writers of the New Testament so plead with us to walk in?

Above all, God has made Himself known as a “heavenly Father”. Understanding His role as a loving Father is essential to spiritual life and victorious Christian living. Sin had broken that relationship. Jesus God’s Son came to lead us in a restoration of that all important relationship.

Numerous times in the Bible its writers boil down the things God requires of a soul to a few basic priorities. Rather than being a list of religious does and don’ts, they instead are simply made up of the need of living an upright life, of treating others in an acceptable way, and of walking with God in this life.

Where the natural world we live in defines “times and seasons” according to dates and numbers, God recognizes them according to the fulfilment of His purpose and will in our lives.  The Hebrew word for “season” means “divine appointment” or “sacred purpose”.
