The Promise of a New Day

The Welcome Feelings of Change!

This Christmas is already feeling different; there is a greater optimism almost everywhere as people look forward to this special time of the year. There is now a new hope for 2025 as the promise of a move toward Christian principles seems to be increasingly possible.

These past four years have seen a darkness, a nation deeply impacted by Satanic deception; this has been a difficult time of testing as violence and sin have played a major role in national affairs. The hope of an emergence from that darkness is exhilarating.

God, in his mercy and grace, has given us a President who loves this country and seeks to lead it in a direction that honors and glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ! As a Christian father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, I am immensly grateful to God for this gift of his love to our nation!

I feel very thankful for the promise of God’s grace to the USA and for the more Christian environment in which my descendants may have a future.

The Job Ahead

God, in his grace, has given this nation a reprieve for which we should all be grateful! This reprieve comes with obligations to be faithful to the commands we have been given by our Lord. In Matthew 28:18-20 it is written:

¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

This nation is filled with victims of the spiritual war, victims who are totally ignorant of the situation they face and the dangers that await them. It is our responsibility, as Christians, to share, with all who will listen, the reality of their situation and the remedy God has provided.

Jesus gave this advice to Nicodemus and we should share it with all who will listen; in John 3:14-21 it is written:

“¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, ¹⁵ that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. ¹⁹ This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
