Yesterday afternoon we had the opportunity of visiting the Wales Home for a time of music and a chalk talk. The residents apparently enjoyed it very much, and I rejoice that so many heard the gospel preached clearly.
I would like to thank those who are so faithful in praying for us as we minister through music and chalk talks. The Devil does not want people to hear the truth of God's Word and will make every effort to twart reception of the Gospel by the hearts of those that hear. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17.
We have a few more events coming up, so don't forget to check our events page. Please pray that the Lord would grant that we speak and share only what He wants us to speak and share, as it says in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
This on is an adaptation of Matthew Bowman's "Born to Die." Although evangelicals rarely forget that Christmas is about Christ's birth, we often forget at Christmas time why Jesus was born. It was fortold by the prophets and declared by Jesus before He died, but not even his disciples really understood it until Jesus himself explained it to the men on the road to Emmaus. Jesus Christ was born to die.
