Christmas Day

 

Christmas Day 

Chris Tomlin & We The Kingdom

Joy to the world

On a night like no other

Emmanuel 

God is with us

Beggars and kings

Let us come and adore Him

Rest in His peace

And bow before Him

Sing all you people

The Lord almighty reigns

Sing every creature of God

Come bless His name

For He is good, for He is good

He was born to conquer the grave

Light of the world

The reason for Christmas Day

Stars we have seen

Over deserts and oceans

The darkness was deep

But never hopeless

Redemption came

And His name is Jesus

From the mountains

We will shout it out

For the Lord our God 

Almighty reigns

He is with us

He is with us now

For the Lord our God

Almighty reigns

Welcome! All wonders in one sight!

 For to us a child is born,

    to us a son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,

    and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 Of the increase of his government and of peace

    there will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

    to establish it and to uphold it

with justice and with righteousness

    from this time forth and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Isaiah 9:6-7

Welcome! all wonders in one sight!

Eternity shut in a span!

Summer in winter, day in night!

Heaven in earth, and God in man!

Great little One, whose all-embracing birth

Lifts earth to heaven, stoops Heaven to earth!

-Richard Crashaw

Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body...

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.  -JC Ryle

The most significant event in the whole course of human history...

By far the most significant event in the whole course of human history will be celebrated, with or without understanding, at the end of this season of Advent... What we are in fact celebrating is the awe-inspiring humility of God, and no amount of familiarity with the trappings of Christmas should ever blind us to its quiet but explosive significance... God’s insertion of himself into human history came about with an almost frightening quietness and humility... As millions will testify, he will come once again with the same silence and the same devastating humility into any heart which is ready to receive him.    -J.B. Phillips

Manger Throne

 

Manger Throne 

 Phil Wickham

You could have stepped into creation

With fire for all to see

Brought every tribe and nation to their knees 

Arriving with the host of heaven

In royal robe and crown

The rulers of the earth all bowing down 

But You chose meekness over majesty 

Wrapped Your power in humanity 

Glory be to You alone

King who reigns from a manger throne 

My life, my praise, everything I own

To Jesus the King on a manger throne 

You could have marched in all Your glory

Into the heart of Rome

Showed them splendor like they’d never known 

But You wrote a better story

In humble Bethlehem

Creator in the arms of common men 

You will die for our redemption 

And You’ll rise so we can live 

Glory be to You alone

King who reigns from a manger throne 

My life, my praise, everything I own

To Jesus the King on a manger throne 

From heaven to the cradle 

From cradle to the cross

Let heaven and nature sing 

This is our King

But the grave couldn’t hold Him 

Our God has overcome

Let Heaven and nature sing 

This is our King 

All hail the King 

All hail the King 

All hail the King 

Glory be to You alone

King who reigns from a manger throne 

My life, my praise, everything I own

To Jesus the King on a manger throne 

My life, my praise, everything I own

To Jesus the King on a manger throne 

To Jesus the King on a manger throne

Christmas hope...

The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity—hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory—because at the Father’s will Jesus Christ became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross. -James I. Packer

We must remember that it is God's will, and not our own will...

We must remember that it is God's will, and not our own will, that we must do, for he that doth His will shall abide forever, even as He abideth forever. Therefore, with mind entire, faith firm, courage undaunted, love thorough, let us be ready for whatever God willeth, faithfully keeping the Lord's commandment, having innocency in simplicity; peaceableness in love; modesty in lowliness; in ministering, diligence; in helping them that toil, watchfulness; in succoring the poor, mercifulness; in standing up for the truth, firmness; in keeping of discipline, sternness; lest we be found wanting in every good work. -Venerable Bede Image

For the word of God is living and active...

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. -Hebrews 4:12

As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.

-St. Ambrose

We have great reason, O Lord, to be humbled before you, on account of the coldness and insensibility of our hearts, the disorder and irregularity of our lives, and the prevalence of worldly affections within us. Too often have we indulged the tempers which we ought to have subdued, and have left our duty unperformed. O Lord, be merciful to us for your Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Produce in us deep repentance, and a lively faith in that Saviour who has died for our sins, and risen again for our justification. Amen. -Henry Thornton

The root of Jesse will come...

And again Isaiah says,

“The root of Jesse will come,

    even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;

in him will the Gentiles hope.”

May the God of hope fill you 

with all joy and peace in believing,

 so that by the power of the Holy Spirit 

you may abound in hope.  

-Romans 15:12-13

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared...

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. -Titus 3:4-7

Rejoice!

 

Rejoice! 

Sovereign Grace

VERSE 1

All the earth rejoice 

Your Creator reigns 

As the only awesome God 

The Alpha and the Omega 

Who was, is, and is to come 

Let the oceans roar and the mountains sing 

He provides for all He has made

So be comforted as He rules with grace

Rejoice, all the earth, rejoice 

VERSE 2

All the world rejoice 

For the baby comes 

As a humble prince in the night

The Word made flesh, Emmanuel 

The Everlasting Light 

Let the warmth of heaven reach the coldest heart 

With the gospel of His grace 

For His heel will bruise the serpent's head 

Rejoice, all the world, rejoice 

VERSE 3

All the church rejoice 

For your King returns 

On a white horse wearing a crown

He will break the sky with the angel's shout 

Descending from the clouds

Then the dead will rise from the land and sea 

All His people will ascend

We will reign with Him for eternity

Rejoice, all the church, rejoice

“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom..."

Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.” 

-Jeremiah 9:23-24

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness...

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. -Romans 8:26-27

It is not necessary to maintain a conversation when we are in the presence of God. We can come into His presence and rest our weary souls in quiet contemplation of Him. Our groanings, which cannot be uttered, rise to Him and tell Him better than words how dependent we are upon Him. -O. Hallesby

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father...

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,  that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. -Ephesians 3:14-19 Image

Who is a God like you...

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity

    and passing over transgression

    for the remnant of his inheritance?

He does not retain his anger forever,

    because he delights in steadfast love.

 He will again have compassion on us;

    he will tread our iniquities underfoot.

You will cast all our sins

    into the depths of the sea.

 You will show faithfulness to Jacob

    and steadfast love to Abraham,

as you have sworn to our fathers

    from the days of old.

 -Micah 7:18-20

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel...

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,

    you who lead Joseph like a flock.

You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.

     Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,

stir up your might and come to save us!

 Restore us, O God;

    let your face shine, that we may be saved!

   -Psalm 80:1-3

But my steadfast love shall not depart from you...

For the mountains may depart

    and the hills be removed,

but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,

    and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”

    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

  -Isaiah 54:10

Salvation is Born

 

Salvation is Born

 Sovereign Grace

VERSE 1

Come let us worship, come let us adore

Jesus, Messiah, our Savior is born

Carol His glory and sing His sweet Name

Offer a life of thanksgiving and praise

VERSE 2

Join with the angels proclaiming to earth

Join with the shepherds in awe of His birth

Join all creation rejoicing this morn

The glory of God-become-man has been born

CHORUS

Come, let us adore Him

Jesus, the hope of the world

Come, worship before Him

Christ, the Messiah has come

Salvation is born

VERSE 3

Prophets foretold Him, the Promise of God

The hope of Salvation and light of the world

Born in a stable and born as a man

Born to fulfill God's redeeming plan

For by grace you have been saved through faith...

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:8-10

“For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them.”  -Augustine

Lift up your heads, O gates!

Lift up your heads, O gates!

    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

    that the King of glory may come in.

 Who is this King of glory?

    The Lord, strong and mighty,

    the Lord, mighty in battle!

 Lift up your heads, O gates!

    And lift them up, O ancient doors,

    that the King of glory may come in.

 Who is this King of glory?

    The Lord of hosts,

    he is the King of glory!

      -Psalm 24:7-12 Image

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden...

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:28-30

When he says to your disturbed, distracted, restless soul or mind, "Come into me," he is saying, come out of the strife and doubt and struggle of what is at the moment where you stand, into that which was and is and is to be-the eternal, the essential, the absolute.  -Phillips Brooks Image

And you show that you are a letter from Christ...

And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.  

-2 Corinthians 3:3-6 Image

O Lord our God, Who has called us to serve You...

O Lord our God,

Who has called us to serve You,

In the midst of the world’s affairs,

When we stumble, hold us;

When we fall, lift us up;

When we are hard pressed with evil, deliver us;

When we turn from what is good, turn us back;

And bring us at last to Your glory.

-St. Alcuin

The night is far gone; the day is at hand...

 

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. -Romans 13:11-14

Advent is a time of waiting...

Advent is a time of waiting. Our whole life, however, is Advent—that is, a time of waiting for the ultimate, for the time when there will be a new heaven and a new earth, when all people are brothers and sisters and one rejoices in the words of the angels: “On earth peace to those on whom God’s favor rests.” Learn to wait, because he has promised to come. “I stand at the door...” We however call to him: “Yes, come soon, Lord Jesus!” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer Image

Give thanks in all circumstances...

Rejoice always,  pray without ceasing, 

give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  

-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Can the Lost Generation Be Found? -VD Hanson 

The current generation “Z”—those now roughly between 13 and 28 years old—is becoming our 21st-century version of the “Lost Generation.” Members of Gen Z are often nicknamed “Zoomers,” a term used to describe young adults who came of age in the era of smartphones, social media, and rapid cultural upheaval.

   Males in their teens and twenties are prolonging their adolescence—rarely marrying, not buying a home, not having children, and often not working full-time.

The Day I Understood The American Spirit  

It is not about the Pilgrims, or food, or travel logistics. It is the annual reminder that American identity is built on gratitude: gratitude for freedom, for opportunity, for community, and for the chance to begin again. It asks for nothing but humility. It invites everyone, regardless of background, into a shared moment of thanks.

   As an immigrant, that matters deeply to me. Gratitude softens division; it tempers cynicism. It reminds us that liberty is not automatic. And it teaches children—my children—that life’s value isn’t measured only by achievement but by appreciation.

Since we have a great priest over the house of God...

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. -Matthew 27:50-51

"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." -Hebrews 10:19-23

May God be gracious to us and bless us...

May God be gracious to us and bless us

    and make his face to shine upon us, 

 that your way may be known on earth,

    your saving power among all nations.

 Let the peoples praise you, O God;

    let all the peoples praise you!

 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

    for you judge the peoples with equity

    and guide the nations upon earth. 

 Let the peoples praise you, O God;

    let all the peoples praise you!

 The earth has yielded its increase;

    God, our God, shall bless us.

 God shall bless us;

    let all the ends of the earth fear him!

  -Psalm 67

A Blessed Thanksgiving to all!

Absolute dependence upon God...

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. -John 15:5-6

Workers, here is your first lesson: learn to be nothing, learn to be helpless. The man who has got something is not absolutely dependent; but the man who has got nothing is absolutely dependent. Absolute dependence upon God is the secret of all power in work. The branch has nothing but what it gets from the vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.  -Andrew Murray

God is always speaking...

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

 for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;

   but let them not turn back to folly.

-Psalm 85:8

God is always speaking; He is never still. Just as in prayer it is not we who momentarily catch His attention but He ours, so when we fail to hear His voice it is not because He is not speaking so much as that we are not listening.  

-Charles H. Brent

Wait for the Lord...

Wait for the Lord;

    be strong, and let your heart take courage;

    wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14

Do not be afraid of silence in your prayer time. It may be that you are meant to listen, not to speak. So wait before the Lord. Wait in stillness. Wait as David waited when he “sat before the Lord.” And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment. -Amy Carmichael

“Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God..."

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” -1 Peter 1:13-16 Image

“Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.” -J.C. Ryle

“Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”

And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” -Matthew 8:23-27

"Why are ye fearful? Doubt not but the ship will come safe to land; though Christ seem for the present to be asleep, the prayers of His disciples will awake Him, and He will rebuke the winds and the waves; though the bush burn, if God be in it, it shall not be consumed." -Matthew Henry

The Great Retardification Of America’s Youth, Brought To You By ‘Mediocre Elites’  Let’s start with the recent UCSD report on education. In short, one of the most prestigious university systems in California (and so, the world) has been matriculating students who don’t know basic math. They can’t divide a fraction in two. They don’t know how “to start” a word problem. They cannot read beyond a middle school level, never mind read critically.

   In the process of reporting these deficiencies out, there was another stunning discovery: Many of these students had 4.0 grade point averages in public school.

Doctors “Astounded”: Long-Held Belief About Coffee and Heart Rhythm Was Wrong Although people with heart conditions such as A-Fib are often told to avoid caffeine because it might worsen symptoms, new research suggests the opposite may be true. A collaborative study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of Adelaide found that drinking one cup of caffeinated coffee per day lowered the risk of A-Fib by 39%.

Why The Screwtape Letters Still Resonates with Millennials and Gen Z  As Screwtape writes with chilling prescience: “It’s funny how these humans picture us as putting things into their minds. Our best work is done by keeping things out.”

    This is where the digital world excels. Push notifications, autoplay and infinite feeds have transformed our tools into temples of distraction. According to Digital Information World, the average American now spends over seven hours a day in front of a screen; for Gen Z, it’s closer to nine. Screwtape wouldn’t need to invent a thing. The safest road to hell is now algorithmically optimized.

For the grace of God has appeared...

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. -Titus 2:11-14

I love you, O Lord, my strength,,,

I love you, O Lord, my strength.

 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

    and I am saved from my enemies.

-Psalm 18:1-3

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts...

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Trump’s Catholic border chief fires back at US bishops: ‘Spend time fixing the Church’  Homan is not the only Catholic to push back against the USCCB. Lepanto Institute founder Michael Hichborn and commentator Matt Walsh have done so as well.

   “Where was their ‘concern’ about the ‘climate of fear’ created by the Biden administration when it targeted pro-lifers with lawfare? When were they ‘troubled’ by the FBI targeting Traditional Catholic parishes? Were they ever ‘grieved’ by the Biden administration’s war on preborn children?” Hichborn wondered in an X post that was re-shared by over 500 users.

   Those levies bring the actual NYC rate to 18.3% now; Mamdani’s hike would push it to nearly 23% — twice the Garden State’s.

UCSD's Freshmen Apply with 4.0 GPAs, But Fail Basic Math as Academic Standards Collapse  Many freshmen arrive on campus completely unprepared for even high-school-level math. In recent years, UCSD has seen a significant increase in enrollment in Math 2 (remedial math) and Math 3B, which now cover skills from elementary through Algebra II. Alarmingly, some students have knowledge gaps in concepts taught as early as grades 1-8.

American Education: From Biblical Roots to Atheism Once a moral and highly literate nation of people, America has become amoral, violent, and dumbed down. We cannot lay all the blame on public education, but we have to consider what kind of morals might develop when citizens are educated in a system that teaches God is irrelevant. We have to consider what effect that a steady barrage of atheism, paganism, and eastern religions in the classroom is having on our youth.

Synformation: Epistemic Capture meets AI...Synthetic facts and underlying reality matrices are being normalized  Dr. Robert Malone  As I consider my own internal post-mortem mindwalk concerning the bonfire of the COVID vanities, the dominant biases that distorted CDC and ACIP decision-making appear to stem from two principal sources. These two are intertwined, like the famous question of which came first, chicken or egg.

Bias #1. The Cult of Vaccination...

Bias #2. Epistemic Capture...

The Weaponisation of Science 

When journals begin outsourcing editorial judgment to media organisations with commercial or institutional conflicts, peer review itself collapses under the weight of narrative control.

   This is what I mean by the weaponisation of science.

   Fraud today isn’t only about fabricating data — it’s about what institutions choose to suppress. It’s selective enforcement designed to protect profits under the guise of integrity.

‘Europe is persecuting Christians’ 

Free speech is under serious attack all across Europe. To criticise the sacred cows of the progressive worldview – from transgenderism to immigration and even Islam – is to invite a knock on the door from the thoughtpolice. The recent, harrowing trial of a Finnish parliamentarian reveals how it is often Christians who find themselves in the firing line. Päivi Räsänen has spent the past six years fighting a ‘hate speech’ prosecution, simply for quoting passages from the Bible and defending traditional marriage.
