Brothers and Sisters,


I sincerely hope that all of you have a wonderful and joyous CHRISTMAS!

I will be out of state spending Christmas with all of my children, grandchildren, and my mother, so I already know that we will have a beautiful time in the LORD.

If you belong to JESUS CHRIST, there is no reason why you can't CELEBRATE JESUS every day and give thanks for GOD'S Unspeakable GIFT, JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Saviour forever. If you don't have JESUS in your life, every day is a GOOD DAY to make your decision for JESUS.

Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, all of the REAL RICHES in this short life are in JESUS CHRIST. The MOST PERFECT GIFT was given by JESUS CHRIST on a Cross about 2,000 years ago. JESUS died in our place to rescue us from the curse of sin and death. BUT JESUS AROSE from the dead and ascended back to Heaven as our LIVING Lord and Saviour. JESUS CHRIST was GOD made manifest in the flesh, and HE was the only perfect Sacrifice to rescue us from the punishment that we all richly deserve. Make your decision today and don't waste any more of your life. There is information all over the forum to help you make your decision, and many sweet Christians here will be happy to help you.


1:  Romans 3:10 NASB  as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

2:  Romans 3:23  NASB  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

3:  Romans 5:12  NASB  Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--

4:  Romans 6:23  NASB  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

5:  Romans 1:18  NASB  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

6:  Romans 3:20  NASB  because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

7:  Romans 3:27  NASB  Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

8:  Romans 5:8-9  NASB  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

9:  Romans 2:4  NASB  Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

10:  Romans 3:22  NASB  even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;

11:  Romans 3:28  NASB  For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

12:  Romans 10:9  NASB  that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

13:  Romans 4:21  NASB  and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

14:  Romans 4:24 NASB  but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

15:  Romans 5:1  NASB  Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

16:  Romans 10:10  NASB  for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

17:  Romans 10:13  NASB  for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

Many Christians celebrate the birth of JESUS CHRIST at this time of the year, and many Christians celebrate the birth of JESUS CHRIST every day. It really doesn't matter what day JESUS was actually born because Christians have many good reasons to rejoice, worship, and give Thanks to GOD every day. I choose to rejoice and give Thanks every day.

I join you in wishing a Merry Christmas to all including you and your family.

You are right, everyday of the year is the best days to remember what Jesus Christ did for us and to give thanks and praises for His wonderful mercy.

Today, right this very minute, is the best day to accept Him as Lord and Saviour for those that have not done so already.

Brothers and Sisters,

My wife, my mother, and I are getting ready to leave for St. Louis this morning. We anticipate a wonderful time in the LORD with all of our children and grandchildren. We will be praying for all of the needs and safety for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ on the forum. I'll holler at everyone in about 5 days.

May GOD richly bless you and your families.

Love In Christ,
Tom
