I was reading in Acts where Paul gets pulled in before the Sanhedrin. You know, the Jewish leaders didn’t like his testimony of Jesus. Here’s the skinny from Acts 23 verse 1- 5. “Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, “Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day.” 2 The high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him …

It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas So what does Christmas look like? Lights, trees, gifts? How about the first Christmas, when Christ was born? There was certainly a great light, and gifts.

Just As I Am. Without One Plea
Yesterday I pulled a couple of old church songs. Holy, Holy, Holy and Just As I Am. I was a bit surprised to hear the younger members of the worship team had never heard Just As I Am.
