HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

So many people say they have 'religion' and they are just fine. Or, oh my religion is Hindu, Muslim , etc. Wrong!  Unless they have Jesus Christ as their 'Savior', and only savior, they can have all the religions in the world, and there are many, but that won't get them to Heaven.  So, Jesus is my Savior, not my religion!

The annual Christmas parade in our area was held yesterday, even tho' it was misting rain, it went on.  Our church entered one of our school buses, and there were riders and walkers handing out candy, etc.

We were shocked to have won 2nd place!

Jim is better and the coughing has subsided quite a bit.  He is still weak and he said, sore all over, from coughing so much and so hard.  He won't be going to church this morning.  A few more days and hopefully he will be back to 'normal' - whatever that is!


...that's it for now.

  3. Glad to hear Jim is improving. Praying he continues to get strong so he can enjoy Christmas.
    I can't imagine being in a parade on such a nasty day. I hope nobody gets sick. That's great your church got second place.
    I love your message in this post. Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." He wasn't talking about "having religion". He was talking about accepting Him as Lord and Savior. There is NO other way!
    You have a great day, my friend. You take care. ♥

  4. You have preached a powerful sermon, with very few words today. Yes - Jesus is the only way!

  5. So glad Jim is getting better. I know what hard coughing can do to the rib cage and other areas. Hope you don't get anything. There seems to be a lot of sinus infections going around at the moment. No wonder as changeable as the weather is from day to day. Right now it is 24 at 1:30pm. Sun is shining, but that fools a person makes you think it is warmer than what it is, also the wind is blowing some. Have a great Sunday afternoon and evening.

  6. This IS a powerful post! AMEN!! I like the sign and the thoughts. Jesus is my Saviour and I should live appropriately to show His love to others. He's not a religion. This could be a whole sermon. Excellent my friend. Thanks for the thoughtprovoking post. Congrats on the 2nd place and Jim feeling better. Y'all are 1st place in our hearts. God bless. ~:)

  7. So glad to read that your Jim is better.
    Praises and thanksgivings to our Lord for taking tender care of him.
    And...you are absolutely correct about the difference between religion and salvation.
