My Christmas Poem
Jesus isn’t only a babyBorn on Christmas Day.He is God’s only SonWho in a manger lay. Jesus isn’t only a babyWho the wise men adored.He came to bring us love.He came to be our Lord. Jesus isn’t only a baby.He grew to be a man.He died upon the cross.It was God’s perfect plan. Jesus isn’t…

Iron Sharpens Iron

The Victory of Faith
Part Two Who were these men of faithThe Scripture speaks about?Men of victory.Men who lived with no doubt. Abraham, Isaac,Include Jacob, too,Joseph and Moses,Just to name a few.The world, not worthyOf these faithful ones.They trusted in God,True daughters and sons.Trust brought miracles.Promises obtained.Kingdoms were subdued.Mouths of lions trained.Fiery furnace quenched.Escaped the sword’s edge.Weaknesses made strong.Braved…
