Salvation Messages

At North Rand we were blessed to have the Florida Augmented Choir with us on Sunday.

They sang and led the congregation in Christmas Carols and Bible readings.

It was truly awesome!

It reminded me that around the time of the Reformation/Renaissance, painters like Caravaggio, were commissioned by the Church to paint Biblical Stories.
The idea here was to paint in such a way as to move people to salvation!

Amazing!

I believe that the Choir on Sunday moved the congregation to an awareness of salvation that came to the world through Jesus Christ. That is the true meaning of Christmas - a receive the greatest gift the world has ever seen - Jesus Christ.

Bless you all at this time as you celebrate the birth of our Lord and King.

Learning From Children

Here's the thing!

Adults sometimes feel they have nothing to learn from children.

Jesus on the other hand, reminds us that we can learn a lot from children. In fact, we ourselves need to become like children to understand the secrets of the Kingdom.

So, how do we do that? In other words, balance responsibility with freedom?

Three ways:

- To love unconditionally
- To forgive unreservedly
- To live unashamedly

Awesome!

Try it!

Live it!
