Commit Your Life to Christ!

The GREATEST thing we can do

this Easter Season -

and every season, it commit our 

lives to Christ.

If you're a Christian - your life is His, anyway.

If you are not a Christian - committing 

your life to Christ is the only way

you are going to find the peace and happiness

your soul desires. God is the only

one who can fill that empty space within

your heart.... and only when it is 

filled will you find peace within.

Easter is a time when we remember

the great sacrifice Christ made for us.

Focus TODAY on HIM!

You Paid the Price

When I think of all the times
That I've disappointed You
Times I've let my flesh decide
What I would or would not do

When I think of all the times
I've watched, as others strayed away
Remaining silent, even though I know
You've given me words to say

When I think of all the times
You've forgiven my mistakes
I want to bring someone to know
You, Lord
No matter what it takes

For in You there is peace
And rest for the soul
There is joy in persecution
For in You I am whole

I will take up my cross
I will lay down my life
Lord, I am Yours
You bought me, You own me
You paid the price

Easter

Easter will be here soon.

And, while Easter is a glorious time,

it is also a time that is becoming

taken over by the world.

If we watch the sale bills that

accompany our newspapers

we will think it's about

Easter Eggs, Candy,

Pretty Clothes, Shoes and

Dresses!

But really..... that is not

what Easter is about!

I am no religious theologian. 

And I still have a lot to learn when

it comes to the Bible.

But - I do know enough to

realize that our world today is 

missing out on many 

Biblical truths.

Let's try to do better.

Let's try to teach our children 

the REAL meaning of Easter.

Let's give them a foundation that 

will help prepare them for

what is to come.

Whatever that is!

With the steady decline of 

spiritual morality

our world is facing, our

children and our children's children

are going to need all the 

help they can get.

If you give them ANYTHING

this Easter..... Give them knowledge.

Plant little seeds of faith in their

precious little hearts.

"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing

by the word of God." 

Romans 10:17

Grace's Candy

Grace's Candy 

this morning had a 

great message for us!

 Continue to worship Him!

And may His CHRISTmas Spirit

live on inside of each of us

ALL YEAR LONG!

Merry CHRISTmas!!!!

Have A Birthday Party for Jesus

A Birthday Party is something

every child understands!

So - have one for Jesus!

If you are a grand parent and 

don't have the kids 

and can't seem to arrange this,

make a Birthday Cake

for Jesus and sing Happy Birthday

during your CHRISTmas Celebration!

 It can be as simple or as elaborate

as you want to make it.

 But. give the kids and opportunity

to say, "Happy Birthday, Jesus!"

And let them know that 

HIS Birthday is why we celebrate

this wonderful, wonderful

Season!

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Shop At CHRISTian Store for Bible Based Toys and Activities

When you're doing your

CHRISTmas Shopping,

Be sure to include CHRISTian 

Store such as Mardel's.

They almost always have

CHRISTian toys and games

and activites that help keep

your child focused on CHRIST!

Just look at this adorable

puzzle set!

It includes 6 puzzles and it was

only $5.00.

It's actually 3 two-sided puzzles

that are sturdy and well made.

And they tell the CHRISTmas 

story in pictures,

giving you a way of 

opening conversation with your 

child as you assemble the puzzles

together.

 The first puzzle is very easy

and it get progressively harder.

But look - there is the angel

coming to Mary to tell her

she has found favor with God

and will soon bear His son!

 And on the other side - with a different

color of border - there is Mary and Joseph

making their journey to Bethlehem.

 And here they are being turned away 

at the inn. Children often don't know

what an in is - but are familiar with

a hotel. What would you do if you were 

on a trip and there were no

hotel rooms available?

 Here the angels give the shepherds

a heads up - so they can 

make their way to the stable.

 Brilyn is really good at puzzles.

Or at least, the easy puzzles.

She had to have a little more

help with the harder ones.

 And here is the king telling his

men to go find the baby.

 And finally - we have the manger scene!

This story is THE STORY

children should most associate

with CHRISTmas!

Tell it..... look for different ways

to tell it... but make it real

to your little ones!

Listen to Christian Radio Stations

This time of year most

Christian Radio Stations

play Christmas Carols that 

constantly remind us of what

Christmas is all about!

I see little pictures like this

from KLOVE on my facebook

wall almost daily!

Isn't it cute?

I'm so thankful that radio stations

can be exclusively CHRISTian.

And I hope that freedom 

is here to stay!
