Tonight marks the end of a 69-year family tradition.

For nearly seven decades, my family gathered every Christmas Eve to celebrate one another and to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. That tradition came to a halt on December 4, when my father entered heaven.

Tonight, I am sitting alone in the family room that once held cousins, laughter, and shared prayers. The house is quiet. My mother is asleep… alone, yet full … having spent the day surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

And still, the words of Scripture echo as loudly tonight as they ever have:

“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10–11 (NKJV)

If I’m honest, I was hoping my family would be here tonight to help me cross over this first Christmas without my beloved husband, Keith.

💔 Two years ago i missed tge family tradition because I spent Christmas Eve in a hospital bed, freshly out of ICU. It was just me, Jesus, and the only Christmas Eve service I could find on television.

👩‍⚕️ Thanks to a kind nursing staff, I shared communion with orange juice and saltine crackers. I was grateful to be alive, and deeply aware that God still had purpose for me on this side of eternity.

Last year, as my husband faced the final months of his life, I joined our Christmas Eve tradition by Zoom … just like we did during COVID. There is something about home and family that brings peace to the soul, even in the darkest trials.

Christmas has always been sacred to me. I never put my nativity set away … not because dates matter, but because Jesus does.

We may not know the exact day He was born, but we know that He was born. And that truth is worth celebrating every single day.

People argue over traditions, calendars, and customs. But here is the unshakable truth I stand on:

✝️Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
✝️ He was born of a virgin.
✝️ He lived.
✝️ He died.
✝️ He rose from the grave.
✝️ He brought eternity in heaven to all who ask.
✝️ And He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Jesus has never been merely a baby in a manger to me.

He is the Word … the power that spoke creation into being.
He is the Light that shattered darkness in the beginning.
He is the Word made flesh.

And with His very first cry on earth, He chose to bring life … and life more abundantly.

On the darkest night, heaven opened and declared that a King had been born.

“For there is born to you this day… a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

Traditions come and go. Seasons change. Loved ones pass from this side of glory to the next.

But Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

⭐️Tonight, I am thankful.
⭐️Thankful that God the Father loved us so much that He sent His Son.
⭐️Thankful for the promise of eternal life.
⭐️Thankful that one day I will be reunited with my husband and my father in heaven.

Whether our traditions are celebrated on this side of glory next year or on the other side … Jesus remains.

💫 MERRY CHRISTMAS 💫

May you find the Light that is the life of all mankind in the birth of Jesus Christ… no matter what this season looks like for you.

💪🏽Strength does not make us strong…

Once you have done all that you can do to be strong, you are not done.

Once all your resolve and determination have completed the hard work that strength requires, you are not done.

The work is not complete because your strength alone is not enough.

It is when we go beyond ourselves and tap into the power that created us that we find true strength. It is the power that created the universe and when we use our strength to surender all, we are empowered to walk in that same power and strength.

That’s when you are ready to activate your strength for the work you were created to complete.

Your strength is just one strand of a three twined chord.

In your strength, faith and obedience “you can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens you”.

That’s when you are truly strong!

Philippians 4:13

In our moments of travail and aguish, it is tempting to blame God, but…

If you know the Character of God, you will realize that God does not desire your sacrifice. Jesus Christ became a sacrifice for you.

The Character of God is clear in His Word that He “WILL NOT reject a broken and repentant heart.”

It is in those moments that God Arises and His (and your) enemies are scattered!

It is not God that causes our pain.

But a lack of depending upon on Him in a fallen world, allows the enemy of our souls, the father of lies, to bring in chaos, pain and torment.

Understanding that God is not a God that he should lie…and is not a respecter of persons.. He loves all of us regardless of our belief in Him. So….

He gave us all free will… and if we have free will to worship and follow him then

… others have free will to kill, steal and destroy.

Jesus came to bring life and bring it more abundantly.

So fear not children of the Most High God.

When we are in the thralls of our own pain and anguish, it is God who cares for us in Secret Place of The Most High.

It your Father in heaven who cries with you and brings you hope and rest ….

Either on this side or …

On the other side of Glory.

I pray God will bring you rest and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked…” Galatians 6:7

To all the athletes who trained their entire life to compete in the Olympics…

I am sorry, most of you didn’t have a choice in the production of the opening ceremonies….

Mocking the most sacred sacrament of Communion, at the last supper ….is beyond an insult to Christians … it is an insult to God.

Their sin and is not your responsibility … but my choice to not participate in this blasphemy is my responsibility.

My prayers are with those athletes now thrown into turmoil because of their faith and a choice to follow and honor God.

A massive serving tray was lowered onto the table — revealing a sc****ly dressed man painted head to toe in sparkling blue curled up inside.

What if death wasn’t the end … but just the beginning.

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “

To all my fellow sisters on the pulpit. Be healed and Affirmed. … and yet she continued on✝️

FROM PASTOR RICK WARREN:

My biggest regret in 53 years of ministry is that I didn’t do my own personal exegesis sooner on the 4 passages used to restrict women. Shame on me.

I wasted those 4 yrs of Greek in college & seminary. When I finally did my proper “due diligence”, laying aside 50 years of bias, I was shocked, chagrined, and embarrassed.
So many hermeneutical rules were being violated including: Never build a doctrine on a sinle word that is used only once in scripture! There's nothing to compare it to (correlation) Do your own study of authentein in anciety Greek and you’ll be shocked too.

I think maybe it was because I didn’t WANT to know anything that might challenge the view I WANTED to believe for 50 yrs. But eventually, integrity required that I read over 70 commentaries by INERRANTIST scholars that blew apart my comfortable, traditional, and culture-based interpretation. No seminary told me that those commentaries even existed and Baptist Bookstores refused to carry them. (My mother managed a Baptist Bookstore.) So I accepted the interpretation that was most comfortable for me as a man with my background.

Then reading over 100 books on the early church and the history of the Great Commission (for FTT) demanded my repentance. That journey was both painful and humbling.

I don’t expect to win in New Orleans and I certainly don’t expect to change the mind of any angry fundamentalist. They are responsible to God, not to me. I’m doing this as a act of obedience to the Holy Spirit.

But I DO want to do this: I PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE to every good women in my life, church, and ministry that I failed to speak up for in my years of ignorance. What grieves me is that I hindered them in obeying the Great Commission command (And Acts 2:17-18) that EVERYONE is to TEACH in the church.
I held them back from using the spiritual gifts and leadership skills that the Holy Spirit had sovereignly placed in them. That breaks my heart now, and I am truly repentant and sorry for my sin. I wish I could do it all over. Christian women, will you please forgive me?

Regardless of attacks and the vote result, I want a clear conscience before my Master ... that I repented, and that this sinner did what he asked me to do. With that I am completely content to let Him be the judge and evaluator of my life and ministry.

We must live for an Audience of One.
