“I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace…
Christmas Messages
I rarely give to special days on a calendar more influenced by a greeting card industry than eternal doctrines of the unchangeable God. But, give me any chance to preach on the incarnation of immortal God clothing Himself in the flesh of mortal man to save him, I’ll preach this all year long.
