highway to holiness

We each are on a journey in this life as though traveling on a highway. Each one of our decisions direct us on this highway that ultimately leads us to our final destination, eternity. We need to choose wisely as each decision really does matter. Our most important decision is, what will we do with Jesus. Eternity, Eternity.....where will you spend eternity and what will you do with Jesus! Travel Wisely!

Hijacked Holiday!

It's not clear.  There seems to be confusion as to this season of celebration.
Some are bothered about Christmas being called "The Holiday Season".
And yet, is it Christ that's really celebrated or have we hijacked His birthday and decided to celebrate us on His day.
Do we then trade birthdays with Him and celebrate Him on our birthday!?!
I haven't seen that done yet.
If we could physically see Christ here on earth, do you think He would feel celebrated on His day?
How you ask, could we celebrate Him on His birthday.
When we give to the poor, that's considered giving as to God. 
When we visit the shut in, the lonely, the prisoner.  That's considered ministry as unto Him.
When we feed and cloth the needy, that's doing it as unto Christ.
We'll do just enough of helping the poor to ease our conscience, but it's time for us to
 take a true assessment, who it is we're actually celebrating.
Him, the CHRIST of this day or has He been replace with an idol of self.
Could this be what scripture speaks of  "as the end approaches there will be very difficult times, men will be lovers of themselves, self absorbed, loving pleasure more than God."
Let's work together to shake off this addiction of self.
Let's return to the who, we celebrate in CHRISTmas!

As you have read this I hope it's not read with condemnation, because that's not what was intended by this.  It comes from a place of time spent with the Father and Him speaking of how mankind has truly replaced Him, even at Christmas, with themselves, and with what seems right to man. This is truly birthed out of a cry from within me, asking God how do we celebrate Him during this season and asking HIM to change me and make me into the image of what He intended His Children to be.
This is from my heart to yours,
Merry Christmas!
