I love this Christmas stable scene created by friends of ours. It portrays Mary and Joseph kneeling and worshiping their little son, Christ the Lord! In the book of St.Luke chapter 1 verses 46 -50, it says ..."And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour....." These verses tell me what I already knew. Mary, the Mother of Christ, was not sinnless, and is not to be worshipped but rather, she also bows before the sinless son of God as her Saviour and worships him as we do. I am looking forward to meeting this wonderfull lady in heaven one day. I love the song of her heart when she was filled with joy, having been told by the angel that she would be with child by the Holy Ghost and bear the Son of God into this dark world to be our Saviour! Oh, come let us adore him !!!

I love the song 'Mary did you Know?' pointing out a certain verse, 'The child that you delivered, would soon deliver you?' What an honor to carry her Savior and then be saved by Him. Nowhere in the Word does Christ instruct us to worship or pray to anyone else other than the Father. And the Apostles gave no such instruction contrary to the Lord's instuction. She is our sister in the Lord, a very blessed sister, but nonetheless our sister.

I look forward to hearing her account of Jesus as a child.; 6:41 AM

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
