Quote

The Bible speaks of the sense of commission, which is doing what you should not do, instead of omission, which is not doing what you should do. It says in the book of James that if you know to do good and don't do it, it is sin.

I think there is always new people that have never heard the gospel before that need to have it because the gospel - which is the death, resurrection of Christ and the message of his forgiveness - is the only hope for a person knowing that they will go to Heaven and then finding the meaning and purpose they search for in life.

The resurrection of Christ from the dead, next to the Crucifixion itself, is the most significant event in church history. It isn't a peripheral issue it's foundational. It's bedrock. It's the bottom line.

You know, it is not God's desire to conceal but to reveal. The word revelation means unveiling.

The message of the season is not, Let it snow or even, Let us shop. The real message of Christmas is, Let us worship. That is what the wise men came to do. And that is what we should be doing as well.
