Preparing our hearts for Advent

What is Advent?

The word 'Advent' has a Latin origin meaning 'the coming,'  It is the season observed in Christianity as a time of expectant waiting and hoping as we look to the celebration of remembrance of the greatest gift ever given.  That is the gift of Jesus, the Christ, who being God, took on human form to dwell among us and make a way for whosoever will, to be completely and totatlly reconciled with God Almighty.

The season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas; and as Christmas falls on different days each year, Advent can last 22 to 28 days.  This year, 2013, Advent officially begins on Sunday, December 1^st.

Let us take sometime this Holiday season to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas.  I invite whosoever will to journey with me this season with daily scripture reading and devotionals to prepare our hearts and minds to remember the real reason for the season.  And through our witness, and sharing of scripture and inspirational pictures and messages online, encourage others to do likewise.

To God be ALL The Glory

Let us, help you, share the Gospel!

Having this kind of morning ... Glory to God!

Ever just think of the goodness of God, and bust out in praise? If God is to us who we say He is, our everything, our all in all, our way maker, peace giver, lover of our soul; then we should have no problem singing His praise from every rooftop and in every circle of influence we find ourselves.

If God is as good as we say He is, we have a moral obligation to share Him with a hurt and dying world.  To let Him outside of the four walls of the church to flow freely through us whereever we are.

SocialMedia is the quickest, easiest and most economical way to do just that!  Are you sharing the good news of Jesus in your life in your technological conversation streams?  If not, why not?   

Don't hide your light under a bushel within the four walls of a "church building", but be the living stones God intended and take the Gospel to the four corners of the world.

Matthew 5:15-16

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
