When you think about blood, what comes to mind? Many people associate blood with pain or injury, but blood is not only essential to our physical life, it's essential to our spiritual life as well. Blood=Life. Just as there is no substitute for blood in the human body, there is no substitute for Jesus and His gift of shed blood for our spiritual birth into life eternal. The shed blood of Jesus is the atonement for our souls; without it, there would be no remission of sin, no a

Have you ever been in total darkness? when it’s completely black, and you can’t see your hand in front of your face? when you get disoriented and don’t know where you’re headed? It is scary! ‘Light’ all of a sudden becomes very important! Candles and light bulbs soon burn out; and spiritual darkness is scariest of all. We need the Light of the World so we’re not standing alone. Job 38:19 - “Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof

You’ve heard it said, ‘You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.’ The Bible tells us to put on the whole armour of God so we will be able to stand against evil. Our helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. Our faith shields us from the fiery darts of the wicked. Reading God’s Word enables us to know Him better and grows our faith so we are able to stand on His Truth. Don’t listen to or follow the world! Listen to and follow The Voic

The little nursery rhyme song, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” has a worldly story behind it. Most of us are familiar with the song and have sung it to our children. The Bible tells a true story about The Lamb of God (and He isn't so little ... He's KING size!) The next time you hear or sing the nursery rhyme song, remember the True Lamb Who gave His life for all of humanity so that we could live and sing in heaven with Him for evermore! Matthew 1:20b-21 – “... Joseph, thou son of D

Friends, we have the best news ever! A babe was born, a Saviour Who came to save us from our sins! He came to give us a gift for His birthday … all we have to do is accept the gift so we can live with Him in heaven for eternity … and Go tell it on the Mountain that Christ the Lord is born! Glory to God in the highest! Luke 2:7-14 – “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in th

Merry Christmas! We hope you will take time out of what is typically a busy day to watch today’s 4-minute video. Beautiful footage plays as the song is sung, telling the biblical story of our Saviour’s birth and amazing life. The child that Mary delivers is the Lord of all Creation! He is not merely God’s “only” Son … He’s His “only begotten” Son. Perfect Love! John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should

Today’s well-known Christmas song speaks of God’s angels singing “Gloria in excelsis Deo” (click to hear pronunciation), which is Latin for “Glory to God in the highest”. This beautiful hymn is also known as the Angelic Hymn/Hymn of the Angels. Note that the Bible also speaks of fallen angels, but this message is about God’s angels. Angels of God have important roles. The word “angel” means “messenger.” It was the angel Gabriel who came with a message from God to tell Mary

Today as you listen to the song, sit back, relax and remember … remember Christmases past, spent with family and friends. Discard thoughts of today for just a minute or two and think back to your childhood and the special December days, the special memories. Hold them dear. Now go and make more of those special memories! Today is what you make of it. The world might be chaotic but God gives us the ability to choose how we spend our time. So don’t waste it … look to Jesus … an

Today’s song is for the broken-hearted, the hurting, for those who feel too far gone or out of reach. Be encouraged! We have a Saviour Who Loves us! When your pain runs deep, His Love runs deeper still! So take your eyes off of you and focus on Him. He knows your pain, He knows your name! Look to Him and He will find you in your silent night. All is calm and all is bright, everywhere but in your heart tonight. They're singing carols of joy and peace, but you feel too far gone

What comes to mind when you think of “Christmas”? Is it family and friends? shopping for gifts? wrapping presents? buying a tree, decorating the house? Sometimes we get so “wrapped up” in the worldly celebration of Christmas that we forget the very reason we celebrate. The Latin root for “Christmas” is “natalis”, which means “birth”. Christi Natalis = the birth of Christ, which is also the standard for which we determine time. "A.D." stands for anno domini, Latin for “in the

The well-known Christmas hymn, “O Come, All Ye Faithful” is the biblical story of the birth of Christ, where the shepherds, after hearing the angels singing, go to Bethlehem to adore the new-born Saviour. Today’s video and song is similarly titled but the message is very different in that it’s a reminder that humans are not perfect; that believers aren’t always faithful followers and in fact, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour. For that reason and more, we come together

Ever wonder what heathens do during the Christmas season? Heathens, commonly referred to as “atheists” today, say they “don’t believe in the existence of God” … yet how can you “not believe” in something that you say “doesn’t exist”? Whenever facts are rejected, it’s necessary to counter with an alternative ... precisely what the heathen do ... they reject God’s revelation of Himself and instead of worshipping Creator God Who made man in His image, they make gods in their im

Love incarnate, Love divine! Star and angels gave the sign; bow to babe on bended knee, the Saviour of humanity. Unto us a Child is born; He shall reign forevermore! Noël, Noël, come and see what God has done! The story of amazing love, the Light of the world, given for us. Matthew 1:18-25 –“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her h

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was a willing servant who found favour with God and trusted and obeyed His call. Her life held great honor, but her calling required great suffering; there was joy but also great pain in the privilege of being the Messiah’s mother. Her role in the history of salvation is foreshadowed in the Old Testament (Isaiah 7:14) where Isaiah’s prophecy predicts a virgin conceiving and giving birth to Immanuel. Imagine being chosen to bring Holiness into the w

Today’s song and touching story is bittersweet for believers who have lost someone dear to them. The Christmas season is about Jesus, but there’s something about it that brings to mind our loved ones we have lost and the special memories we have of them at Christmastime. The song is written about Christ-followers … those who were saved by the blood of Jesus … who have died and are now living with Him in heaven. What a blessing to know that if we are saved too, we will see our

"The Little Drummer Boy" (originally titled "Carol of the Drum") was written in 1941 by Katherine K. Davis. The song describes how a poor young boy was summoned by the Magi to the Nativity of Jesus. Without a gift for the Infant Christ, with Mary’s permission, the little drummer boy played his drum for baby Jesus. Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum, a newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum. Our finest gifts we bring, to lay before the King, so to honor Him when we come. L

Light of the world, Treasure of heaven, brilliant like the stars in the wintry sky! Joy of the Father, reach through the darkness … shine across the earth and send the shadows to flight. From the beginning, the tragedies of time were no match for Your Love. From great heights of glory, You saw my story and God, You entered in and became one of us! Sing Hallelujah! John 1:14a - “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” John 8:12 - “Then spake Jesus again unto them, sa

Let me tell you about William: he's been fighting battles since day one. The doctors said he'd never walk, but now he walks; that he'd never talk, but now he talks; I guess you could say he's a living, breathing, walking miracle! And there's Veronica, with a sign in the second row that said, "Even cancer couldn't stop me from coming to your show." I never thought we'd meet again but the very next year, we met again! I guess you could say she's a living, breathing, walking mir

When Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem, Mary was about to deliver her firstborn. Because there was no room in the inn, the innkeeper offered them the barn. They made do and filled the manger with hay for the baby’s bed and arranged a place for Mary to give birth to the Son of God. Imagine being great with child and traveling such a distance, only to find no room to deliver the Saviour of the World! Could the innkeeper have offered more? Could any of the guests given them t

Have you been praying and you still have no answers? Have you been pouring out your heart for so many years? Have you been hoping that things would have changed by now? Have you cried all the faith you have through so many tears? Don't forget the things that God has done before, and remember He can do it all once more. Matthew 6:7-8 – “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye
