Merry Christmas! Praise unto the Lord our God! Yesterday I saw a group of women on Love Worth Finding sing Carol of the Bells, and the rendition was as close to perfect as we will find here on earth. They must have practiced that for hours. What is more they sang it a cappella, something most of us find very difficult. Sorry, the shower doesn’t count, that is an accompaniment! I have tried a little a cappella singing around the house every now and again. Don’t believe the story about the neighbor grabbing his rifle to finish off the wounded moose; it is completely unfounded. The Bible tells us to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, not a perfect one!
Speaking of perfection, we, or at least I, have often thought that I am not doing well in my Christian walk. The question would be, “compared to whom?” Don’t look at that person over there, or those people at church. Our only standard should be Jesus, and all of us will fall short. God has accepted us based on the righteousness of Jesus, not on how well we are doing. If God only made acceptance based on our own goodness, there would be a lot empty mansions in heaven since no one would be there. Trust in Jesus Christ, believe in Him and you are saved.
Hallelujah for the saving grace of Christ!
