Verse for the week:

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

(Phi 2:5-7)

Quote for the week:

“In every revival there is a reemphasis of the Church's missionary character. Men return to Calvary, and the world is seen afresh through the eyes of Christ. The infinite compassion of Christ fills the heart, and the passion evoked by Calvary demands the whole wide world as the fruit of His sacrifice.” – John Shearer

Other News:

As we think of the Incarnation this Christmas season, I would like to challenge us to consider the choice that Christ made as He looked down from His celestial home. As He surveyed the endless violence, persistent rebellion, and hopeless stubborness of the human race (things haven't chaned much), He made a choice that hopefully resounds in the heart of each of His followers. He chose to GO to them. This Christmas season, where does Christ want each of us to go? Across the street? Across the globe? Across the room to a lonely outsider? Whatever our lot in life, we are called to GO! That's what Jesus did. May we all see the world through the eyes of Jesus! I wish each of you a beautiful Christmas season! Praise Jesus!

"The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray." - Samuel Chadwick
