Words are powerful. They build and destroy, heal and hurt. Words can transform.
Hear what God says through Isaiah (43) to those that belong to him:
I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name.
You are mine.
I will be with you.
You are precious to me.
You are honored.
I love you.
For those who are in Christ, every last syllable is true.
For those who are in Christ and live believing what God said through Isaiah, transformation is occurring.

Last year I found myself struggling with the whole Christmas machine here in the U.S. It’s messed up. However, instead of being cynical, I decided to lead my family into a more meaningful perspective on Christmas. I found a very purposeful and relevant way to go about Christmas in Advent.
Advent means expectation. After all, Christmas is about the arrival of the Messiah, the One who had been anticipated for centuries!
This year I thought it would be good to take that expectation literally. We’re journeying through the Old Testament with our hearts bent towards Bethlehem. After all, the Old Testament is a longing for the expected One, Jesus. So, we’re longing right along with them.
