    "Worship requires an attitude of gratitude." Wrote that one down...'cause that's good teaching. 🙂

    Right before this video popped up in my feed, my great niece and I decided to bake a Birthday cake with, “Happy Birthday JESUS” on it, and serve it at Christmas. Perfect. Thank you, LORD!

    Wait for me Allen, I enjoy the blessing that our Father gives us. I enjoy my food and I thank God, that we are loved. It is the blessing on our food that has made me twice the man I am. Praise Him, thank you for your time in sharing a powerful message. You are loved, God bless you and our family of God.

    If we had, and then practiced, the attitude of thanking the Lord for each and every blessing we receive/enjoy, we should be full to overflowing with gratitude, the most thankful people on the face of the planet. It's not a bad idea because every little thing, be it big or little, comes from the Lord!

    Many of us can't seem to get enough of Allen Nolan's teachings, especially after Paul's enlightening sermons, which I thoroughly enjoy and am eager to revisit. This particular sermon struck me profoundly, akin to experiencing Thanksgiving and Christmas simultaneously. It highlighted the significance and proximity of these holidays. Among all the holidays we celebrate, these two embody what it means to be a Christian and our relationship with GOD. I felt compelled to share this with my acquaintances, hoping they too would grasp its message. May GOD bless you all. To my church friends online, I love you dearly and wish GOD's blessings upon you.

    I have been trying hard not to fall into "vain repetition" when I pray. I may ask one time, but then I leave it up to God. He knows what I need better than I do. I try to pray once, then remember that I have prayed ... and wait to see how God handles it. Yes, Jesus prayed a lot. We pray ... a lot. I feel that if I am to get away from those vain repetitions, then I had better be showing some gratitude. 🙂 I also try to fall back on ... but not my will, but your will, O Lord.

    DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, CHURCH!
    TRADITIONAL HOLIDAYS LIKE CHRISTMAS ARE PAGAN!
    OUR GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD!
    KNOW THE LORD, AND IF HE IS OK WITH PAGAN RITUALS.
    TIME IS SHORT!

    Before that blessed day that I found my way through the darkness and to the Lord Jesus I was pagan, a Wiccan. We celebrated Christmas, called Yule, put up our Christmas tree, decorated it, burned the Yule log, had wreaths, had holly decorating the house and gave gifts…which is exactly what our pagan holiday set forth for us to do in celebration. Over the few years I have been saved I have continually come under conviction that celebrating christmas was celebrating the old pagan holiday that I celebrated as a Wiccan. This year I am doing nothing. It is a strange feeling as I have family and grandchildren. I was always the Christmas Eve party thrower. I will be spending this year alone. I don’t know anymore if this is wrong or right and yes I have taken it to the Lord but Pastors say it’s ok, so I don’t know what to do. It just feels strange to me.

    • @UnworthyAmbassadorofChrist
      @UnworthyAmbassadorofChrist 9 дней назад

      It's not okay ma'am. Christians are to be separate from the ways of the wicked, we're to be holy and not unequally yoked with unbelievers.
      I thank God for granting you the conviction to steer clear. We are to keep Christ in all our days by His Grace and not a pagan holiday.
      God bless you ma'am and I'm thankful to God for your salvation ✨👏🏽😊

      @janetbrown778 my dear sister in Christ, I would like to encourage you to listen to this sermon again (a few times if necessary.) I say this because I think you should decorate and celebrate Christmas but as the Pastor has stated - with the attitude of gratitude & worship for the salvation our Lord has avail to us saved & reborn. So no need to be alone, or sadden for your past. Instead go all out in the honor of Christ our Lord & to the glory of God ✝️
      And please have the Merriest of CHRISTmas' & many wonderful blessings in the new year ❣️ 🎄🎁👪🧑‍🎄⛪🫂

    Keeping Christ in Christmas?
    Christ has never been nor will He everbe in Christmas. It is a completely pagan holiday. No trace of IT IS to be found in the whole of the NT

      At the birth of Jesus, kings and others brought gifts to Him. That was the first Christmas.

    I will not follow man ...I want and need to follow Christ. My spirit gets convicted when I participate in the things of the world. Man made holidays.
    Why don't we celebrate the feast of the God of Israel, as in the Bible, why don't we all gather on the Sabbath, why do we not fellowship and break bread like Jesus and the disciples did?

    • @Marty_Makes
      @Marty_Makes 10 дней назад

      Yes! Pagan Holiday! Don’t follow the world… follow Christ! Jeremiah 10:3-4: "For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not".

  • @erichpengel1528
    @erichpengel1528 10 дней назад +1

    The question is why do Christians celebrate Christmas because I read nowhere in the Old Testament or in the New Testament that Jews and Christians should celebrate Christmas on the day of birth of Jesus. I don't read that in the Bible.

    • @VickieCipparuolo
      @VickieCipparuolo 10 дней назад

      You won't read it in the old testament. He wasn't born yet!

    • @erichpengel1528
      @erichpengel1528 10 дней назад

      ​@@VickieCipparuolo
      That is clear but I do not read anywhere in either the Old Testament or the New Testament that Christians should commemorate the birth of Jesus, I do not read that the Messianic Jews They also do not remember the birth of Jesus.

  • @roberthunter7247

    • @ronaldross6950
      @ronaldross6950 10 дней назад +1

      I understand, brother, and many of us Christians recognize this. It is the day chosen to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I must admit, I understand your point, especially after the sermon. The actions of pagans do not dictate our practices. As Christians, we comprehend the true significance. The distinction between pagans and Christians is clear. God bless, Amen.

    • @Marty_Makes

    Almost certainly from existing pagan celebrations. The winter solstice (shortest day) had always been celebrated by primitive peoples as the beginning of hope for the arrival of spring. This continued into classical times. The Romans celebrated the festival of Saturnalia between 17th and 25th December.
