Here is a unique style and exceptional message from my wonderful friend, Shirley Spellerberg, the lady who tricked me into hearing the Gospel 46 years ago. Please read it completely for there is great truth here.

My Christmas message this year comes in the form of excerpts from hymns of the faith which bring joy to our hearts and peace to our souls. Enjoy!  Shirley Spellerberg

‘I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore… sinking to rise no more, but the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry, from the waters lifted me, now safe am I… When nothing else could help, Love Lifted Me.’ I John 4:10

‘To God Be the Glory great things He has done, so loved He the world that He gave us his Son, who yielded His life an atonement for sin and opened the lifegate that all may go in. Oh perfect redemption the purchase of blood to every believer the promise of God. The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Praise the Lord, let the earth hear his voice.’ John 3:16

‘Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.’ Ephesians 2:8-9

‘Thanks to God for my Redeemer...Thanks for storms that I have weathered…Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow, thanks for heavenly peace with thee…Thanks for grace that none can measure, thanks for love beyond compare…Thanks for hope in the tomorrow, thanks for all eternity.’ Ephesians 5:20

‘Because He Lives I can face tomorrow, because He lives all fear is gone, because I know He holds the future and life is worth the living just because He lives.’ John 14:19

‘When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation, and take me home what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God How Great Thou art!’ John 14:2-3

‘My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—My sin—not in part, but the whole—is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul…it is well, It Is Well With My Soul.’ Rom. 6:23

‘When the Roll is Called Up Yonder I’ll be there!’ 0:-)  Hope to see you there!

<><“There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.” I Timothy 2:5 ><>

“And this is the record that God has given to us (freely) eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” I John 5:11-12

Jesus is the reason for the season. Without Christ’s birth there would be no Christmas!

Without Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, there would be no salvation. {Jack}

This year, December 15 is the 46th anniversary of my spiritual birthday. In 1964 I was 35 years old when my good friend and political compatriot, Shirley Spellerberg, tricked my wife and me into going to a Christmas Concert. I heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ loud and clear, how that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me (an imperfect atheist), Even secular history records that Jesus was buried and rose again — thus proving Himself to be God in the Flesh. That very night I trusted Christ as my Savior and passed from death to eternal life, from an atheist to a believer in the Savior of the world, The Son of God, Jesus Christ. That was accomplished by my simple decision to trust Jesus as my Savior. The simplicity of the Gospel was amazing to me (still is) and contrary to the lie I had heard about the “Christian religion” all my life, that “Good people go to heaven and bad people go to Hell.” The Bible says there are no people good enough to go to Heaven on their own. Further we can never make ourselves good enough. It happens ONLY through our faith in Jesus Christ.

I constantly thank the Lord for His Grace and Mercy, that He would die on that cross for such a wretch as me.

I thank the Lord that Pastor Ray Stanford made the Gospel and the invitation to trust Christ so clear at that Christmas Concert that even I could understand the Gospel and believe in (put my faith in) Jesus Christ.

Right now, you too can pass from death to life by trusting Christ as YOUR Savior. He died for the imperfections (sins) that would keep you from Heaven. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death..” but Jesus paid your debt and offers Heaven to you absolutely FREE — no strings attached — and it is God’s eternal contract with you..

John 3:16
For God so loved the world (you), that He gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth (you) in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Trust Jesus Now, make this your greatest and most blessed Christmas season ever.
