In 1739 a small group of men decided to meet 3 or 4 times reading certain things that at the time were known as classics.Then on Sundays they would read a book on Divinity.( how religious).
One of the men i believed had seen the need to visit a man in Prison who had killed his wife.How many would dare care to do that?
This man felt strongly that anyone trying to reach this murderer, WOULD, do much good.wow.Oh i can just hear the remarks of most people today about that one.
But anyhow, this group of men did go twice a week.
From this visitation they were ask to go see a lady who was very sick. So it began to be something to be set aside a couple times a week to do.
Awh but yet one of the men wrote his dad to get advice.
The advice was this....(the mans dad was 70 yrs old.)
" I have the highest reason to bless God that He has given me two sons together at Oxford ,to whom He has given grace and courage to turn the war against the world and the devil, which is the best way to conquer."I have to say....the mans dad approved greatly with what his sons group was doing.
Some points to think about.
The Dad blesses God for the things these young men were doing.
How many realize we are at war with Satan and this world?

CHRISTMAS 2018.
Good afternoon from the USA. Its Christmas time again. Wow it comes so fast. Guess what? The end of our lives in the flesh comes even faster. So for that reason,we must look to the reason for the season. Christ, or Jesus if you prefer. Immanuel......God with us.
He is the way ,the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Heavenly Father unless they come to Christ first. Now that should satisfy the entire world concerning just any kind of religion.
From Mary,Jesus received His human nature, and from God's Holy Spirit He received His divine nature. Aren't you glad?
Christ birth has been mentioned so many times in the Old Testament,
and then it was fulfilled in the Gospels of the New Testament.
I just want to celebrate the birth of Christ, and be ever mindful of what He came to do. The Hebrew name ,Joshua, means Savior.
For He will save His people from their sins. Meaning to prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life,which is God. This prediction in Isaiah chapter 7:vs 14 had come to pass.
I will be sharing this in more detail,in Sunday School This coming Sunday. Go to Sunday School if you can. If you do not care for it where you go, then come to mine. Many of you know where it is. You are welcome. God bless.Merry Christmas.....and Happy New year.
