Hello Folks,
     Our world is in a time of turmoil and tension.  In my lifetime it seems that there has never been a time when someone is not declaring doom and destruction for the United States or other parts of the world.  While I personally have a tendency to agree that the future is not very rosy for our world I must also remind us that we are not to live life for this world.  This world should not bin dour hearts to its dismal outlook because we are children of the King of Kings.  He has promised us that while this world will be destroyed, even though no man knows when, His people will have an eternal home that will not be moved by this worlds condition.  You and I, if we are followers of Jesus, washed by His blood, made part of His glorious Church, we have a hope that sees beyond the concerns and problems of this world.  No matter who the political leaders are, no matter who has great armies and powerful weapons, no matter our country that we live in, God is still our King and we can depend on Him.  If we die we go to our eternal home with Him but if we live we serve the Savior who died for us!  With that kind of our outlook we can live in a world of tension and turmoil but have peace in our hearts and know that all is well with our King!
     May this month of December be filled with Christmas joy for you and your family. 

Have a great day,
