“I am a historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.”
- H.G. Wells
We ignore Him everyday of our lives. We laugh at His very name. We scoff at those who follow Him.
And yet, He is arguably the most important man who ever lived. A man who has had more impact on the world than any other before, or after Him.
There has been more written, composed, sung and created about Jesus Christ than any other figure in history. No one has left a legacy greater than His, yet He never wrote a book or travelled that far in the short period of time that He lived. He was a penniless man from Nazareth.
In today’s age we have more science, technology, media, entertainment and distraction than ever before - and yet the importance of the Gospel has never been superseded. There are now more Christians in the world today than ever in it’s history and it is still growing as more and more people around the world hear of the Good News and accept it.
He is the very center of history itself. He is that important.
Amen.

We should always keep Christ in Christmas. Some people may say that Xmas is just shorter to write out. Some say that “X” is really just Greek for “Christ”. But not everybody knows that “X” may be Greek for “Christ” or whatever they say. If you prayed or wrote a letter to Jesus, would you start it out with “Dear X,”? That would be a little weird.
Let us be reminded of what Christmas is really all about. Some 2000 years ago, a child was born and His name was Jesus. He came to be our loving Savior and to have that intimate relationship with us. We need to remember that Christ is the very reason for this season – not the gifts, the ornaments, or the fancy lights.
It is even starting to become normal for Nativity Scene displays to be thrown out, being replaced with Santa and his elves, just as Merry Christmas is being replaced with Happy Holidays or Merry Xmas. I don’t say all of this to shove anything down your throats. The message of Christmas is not to offend anyone. Followers of Christ should not have that intention either.
I just don’t know about you, but I personally adore seeing the word Christ in Christmas. I hope you all not only will have Jesus in your hearts this season, but in every season. Merry Christmas!

Why do we SHOUT when we are ANGRY?
mistikos: believemelove: snowflakeskiss:
One day, a professor asked his students ‘Why do we SHOUT instead of speak when we are ANGRY?’
All the students thought for a while. One answered ‘Because we lost our cool. That’s why we SHOUT.’
Asked the professor again, ‘But the person is just right next to you, why can’t we talk softly but have to SHOUT?’
Everyone gave their opinions but none was accepted by the professor.
Lastly explained by the professor ‘When we are ANGRY, our hearts drift apart. To mask the DISTANCE we felt, we instinctively SHOUT instead of speak so the other party can hear us.’
‘But as we SHOUT, we get ANGRIER. And we felt we drift apart further. So we SHOUT even louder…’
‘It is the opposite when we are in love. Not only we do not shout, we whisper into each other ears. Why?’
‘This is because our hearts are very close, almost never apart. As our love deepen, we reach a state of communication where there is no need for words.’
‘We understand each other well enough just by exchanging look,’ concluded the professor.
‘Therefore, when we are arguing, DO NOT speak words that will make our hearts drift apart. WAIT a few days. When you feel your hearts are no longer far apart, pick up the conversation and continue from there.
