Following His Path To Something Beautiful
As I have shared this Christmas season, I have been pondering what makes Christmas so wondrous. I have written that what makes it wondrous is that His birth was only to be accomplished by God, our promised King was born who reign would never end, God made impossible reality, and that God's promise was fulfilled [...]
Have you ever heard about the 400 years before Jesus came, and the significance of that? It is the time between the end of the book Malachi and the time when Jesus was born. And as far as anyone knows, God did not speak, and no scripture was written. This time in history is just [...]
So this is my third past about what makes Christmas so wondrous. You can read the first post here, and the second post here. But today my focus is going to be on Zechariah (The husband of Elizabeth, and father of John the baptist who would "prepare the way of the Lord"), Mary, and Joseph, [...]
Over the Fall we finished a study on Joshua, and Judges. As we finished Judges, and we began to approach Christmas, I became increasingly excited to look at the birth of Jesus, and behold what makes Christmas so wondrous. One of the reasons is one thing that has stuck out to me from the Old [...]
This Christmas season I have been considering what makes Christmas so wondrous. In doing so, through my time in the Word, I have been shown things that I have never realized before. So over the next few posts, I want to share with you what I have been learning about why this season truly is [...]

Antiochus heavily restricted (forbid) Jewish tradition, because he [...]
Why should God let me into heaven? Have you ever wrestled with the question if God should let you into heaven? I have just completed reading Ephesians with my dear friend, and if you want to read the gospel wrapped up in a nice little bow, read the first 3 chapters of Ephesians. In reading [...]
My son teaches me a lot about my walk with Christ. And this year he has taught me about 20/20 vision. Is it just my him, or when you ask your child to get something (like the shoes that are right in front of them) they say "I couldn't see them!" Sometimes I think his [...]
Does it feel like Christmas to you? Go ahead, and honestly answer that. I will. I am struggling with the balance of what I want, and what I can't have. You can read more about what I will be missing most this week, on my Candidly Christian post from last week, but I want talk [...]
A Different Kind Of Christmas Let's face it, this Christmas is just going to be different. There is no getting around it. And this is what I am writing about on Candidly Christian today. And in all honesty, I actually wrote this post in October, and then revised it a few days ago, when the [...]
