A Thrill of Hope by Skip Heitzig

 A Thrill of Hope

Christmas is a time of hope—not because you hope for a certain present, or for a day or two off from work. Christmas is filled with hope because it proves life doesn't have to stay the same.

Christmas proves that God is in control of human history and that He has a plan. God interrupted the flow of events with the birth of a child—our Savior, who stepped out of heaven to pay for our sin and who promises to return to rule and reign with those of us who have been cleansed from sin.

This hope is summed up in one song we hear so often during this season, "O Holy Night": "Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn."

I've met a lot of atheists and agnostics, and I've had a lot of conversations with them. Most of them are not filled with hope. The most hopeful people I have ever met are the most spiritual people. They are by far happier and more confident. Even when the world isn't what it should be, even when things don't work out, spiritual people are still hopeful. Psalm 42:5 says, "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God." When the world falls apart, we know that we can hope in God.

Worldly people like to mock those of us who are spiritual. They say things like, "You need to live in the real world." And my answer is simply this: "We do live in the real world. We face all the same things you face. We live in the real world, but we also know there's a world beyond this one."

When the Bible speaks of hope, it is not some dream or fantasy. In the Bible, hope simply means truth that hasn't yet happened. Hope looks forward to what you know is going to happen.

In Hebrew, the name Jesus is Yeshua, which means "God is salvation." Remember what the angel said: "[Mary] will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).

So, salvation isn't something you do, like a set of teachings or a code of ethics. Salvation is in a person, and His name is Jesus. Without Him, there is no salvation, as the author of Acts said, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (4:12).

Realize the baby came not for Christmas presents or for a day off work or for a chance to get together with family. The baby came to become our Savior—to give us hope.

I pray the manger would lead you to the cross and that God puts in you a hope that things can be different for you, not just now in this life, but throughout all of eternity.

Merry Christmas!

In His strong love,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 Psalm 100 KJV

1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Review: Beneath His Silence

Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lovely debut!
LOVE the characters, they are so beautifully authentic, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little boy.
LOVE the touches of humor!
LOVE the dialogue!
LOVE the pacing though at times it was a little on the fast side, and I felt like the movement between characters perspective was unique in it's frequency, I dare to say I kinda liked it.
And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Faith scenes.
There are a few things that could have been a tad different to my preference but really the only thing I could say that I missed within this story is a moment when one of the characters heard Jesus' voice speaking to them. His silence is the major theme in the story I know, but in the end a whisper from the still small voice when the characters finally came to the end of what The Lord was coaxing them to would have been most satisfying!
Still this is a unique entertaining debut read showing great potential from the author.
