Looking back at 2023 and looking forward to 2024.

The New Year is here: are you locked in a dreary continuum, or pulled into the work of God? (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

A child is born and a Son given; truly when we receive Him, we are born again, as children and become sons (Isa. 9:6).

When we hold onto the truth of the person and work of Jesus as defined in Scripture we will experience the life-transformative power of God.

Everyone celebrates Jesus until they dig down into His being God (Mt. 1:23, John 8:58-59, 10:30-31).

Joyful acceptance is only forthcoming when we develop an aspirational mindset about Christ (Phil. 3:8-17).

Joyful acceptance is only forthcoming when we find Christ daily, and leave the rest up to Him (Isa. 6:1-7).

Joyful contentment is only forthcoming when we are finding Christ daily regardless of our circumstances (Phil 4:10-13).

Contentment is only forthcoming when we are finding Christ daily (Mk. 4:41, Mt. 7:28, John 18:5-6, Rev. 1:17).

We not only attend events, but we become a house and a priesthood in the church (1 Pet. 2:4-5).
