Monday Morning Perspective and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yesterday was a great service for us.  We wrapped our Christmas series with a intense look at Jesus, the true star of Christmas and we had worship that was, well, over-the-top!  I love Christmas music but I have to say I tire of it when it's all the music we get every sunday in December.  This year has been an amazing December as we have had true worship music and the Christmas music has been upbeat and done in a new modern way.  I have LOVED it!!  And yesterday was no exception as we totally took Christmas music to a new level.  So thankful for our worship teams in both of our services who lead us this way!!
The message was all Jesus, all gospel, all true Christmas!  It was fabulous.  It left me wondering how anyone could reject Him but as my husband pointed out and reminded us, it's spiritual warfare.  Satan works overtime making us think we can make it on our own.  We can't make a life here much less experience eternal life apart from Jesus.
His mission...to save people from their sins.  My challenge this coming year to myself and to anyone who reads this or will listen is to be on mission to get as many to Him as possible.  To take every opportunity to share Him as the only hope, our only answer.  It's crunch time.  I believe our time is short and we need to be intentional and passionate about getting as many to Jesus as will come.  How can they believe unless they hear and how can they hear if we don't tell?  Let's not keep it to ourselves.  The greatest new years resolution for all of us should be how many can I bring to Jesus in 2014.  Challenge yourself and challenge those around you.  What greater purpose could any of us have?  Prayer lists are full of people needing physical healing.  How bout we start praying together for spiritual healing, salvation of others should be on the top of all of our prayer lists!!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!  Praying the true blessings of Christmas will shine the brightest for all!!
