You know I was thinking also how many people have the wrong idea about what Christmas is about. It rubs me the wrong way when people use the slang Xmas. Do they realize that without Christ there is no hope for the world? So my plea for this special time of year is let's us as Christians make sure we don't take Christmas for granted and be happy to share the real Christmas story to those who may not know it or just haven't listened to it. It truly is more blessed to give than to receive so let's give other's the joy of Christmas by sharing our love with others. God Bless you all and Happy Holidays. Clayton Nisly.

Xmas...

I think most people today use it just to be quick...and to avoid the Christ... BUT... to others it really isn't an insult or NON Christian!
I come from an Eastern Orthodox or Greek Orthodox background. My grandfather was a Greek Orthodox priest. He was alive a LONG time ago... died when my mum was an infant and she is now 90... When he was in Turkey they had to have their CHRISTIAN services UNDERGROUND... or they would be killed.... the hidden services would be in different homes. They would use the X or a FISH as a symbol of the CROSS.... The Greek word for Christ also appears to begin with an X if you use the older lettering if I recall. Xristos I think... I speak NO Greek except to say "CHrist has risen"...
I am NOT trying to be politically correct AT ALL... BUT... I know that it is not ALWAYS disrespectful to use X mas... My aunt who was 16 yrs older than my Mum, and her older sisters all used Xmas... and all of them had grown up at least part of their childhoods...in Turkey.
I know some people will feel "funny" about my family's type of Christianity... but it has been around for a LONG time...
NOW, all that out of the way... We wish ALL of you a WONDERFUL Christmas Season and a special New Year as well... hoping that the new year will bring a bit more PEACE and LOVE to all the world and that our Friends on here will feel the Love that God and the Christ child bring.

Heather and Bob too

Thanks for the explanation. I had never heard that before about the X. I'm sure that some people use that term and don't mean any disrespect. Wishing everyone God's peace and love this holiday season.

Remember the reason for this season.

The birth of Jesus Christ is the blessing that we all share this time of the year.
I was traveling thru the big city of Aiken this morning and the traffic was so bad I thought to myself, "Wow. Everyone is in a hurry to get NOWHERE fast today."

Then I came upon Wal-Mart. They were very busy to say the least! I wondered to myself then, "I hope that once the gifts are unwrapped, the wonderful dinners that we are so blessed with are eaten, will the reason for Christmas be remembered?"

Happy birthday, Jesus! Merry Christmas to all! Be Blessed and be safe!

With love,

Cleo

I'm excited to see the work of the Lord accomplished in my life personally and enjoy the feeling I have when My family comes home from church every Sun. It's a great encouragement to hear other people and how their lives are affected by God's awesome power as well. The joy that Christian Fellowship brings to us whether it is in church or right here on this post is incredible and to God be the Glory. Have a blessed day. Clayton Nisly.

You know it takes great courage to share our faith with non-believers. But you know it is such an inspiration to fellow christian's to hear the testimonies of other fellow believer's. I don't have any excuse's because I was born and raised in a christian home. I chose to take the wrong path, but about 6 yrs. ago the Holy Spirit went to work in my life and I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ and was able to patch things up with my mom who never stopped praying for me. This Feb. it will be three years that my mother went to be with our Lord and I thank God every day that he allowed me to live long enough that I could change the road that I was headed down and start living my life for him. It hasn't been all roses since then but I understand now that when trials and tribulations come my way that he is only using them to draw me nearer to his side. I thank the Lord every day for his love because I realize that every day is a gift from God. I feel so blessed to have my life and realize that God's grace is sufficient for all those who choose to accept it. God Bless you all. Clayton Nisly.

If you ever have a chance read the book The Miracle of Life Change by Chip Ingram. Our Sunday School class is studying this book this quarter and it is an awesome book. I read some scripture this morning and I thought I would leave you this short passage that touched me today. It is from Romans chap. 8 v. 38,39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation , will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. What a beautiful promise!!!!! Praise the Lord. What a mighty God we serve. Have a blessed day. Clayton Nisly.

We have talked many times about the roads that we have chosen in life. I don't think anyone has had a road with no bumps and pot holes. That's what makes us tough. It keeps us strong.
At the end of these roads, we come out to a clean, even path. The one that is easy to follow. That's what makes it worth it.

God sees us through and guides our way ~ IF we let Him.
If we don't, we might find ourselves stuck in the mud with no one around to pull us out.

I've been there before. It's cold and lonely and scary.

God still helped me out, He just made me sweat some before He threw me the rope!

Have a blessed day!
