The Purity of Christ
So Also Are We
2 Corinthians 10:7 – 7 You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
One of the greatest attributes of Paul, in my opinion, is his humbleness. In fact, Paul even mentions that of all of the Apostles, he is the least. Yes, Paul may have been humble, but I would argue that there was none that was more mighty. Paul recognized that he was a sinner like all and that he was saved only by the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, just like all. I believe that this is an important lesson that all Christians must remind themselves daily.
Paul tells us today, “If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we.” In other words, we are no better or different than anyone else. Too often, Christians are criticized for judging those around them. Paul reminds us that the same grace that is available to us is available to all. We must treat each other with this love, grace and mercy that the Lord has first showed us.
I pray for blessings today for you on your Journey!

Christmas Invitation
I heard a recent study that said 50% of Americans will not be attending a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service. While that may be surprising, the next statistic they discussed was more shocking. Of the 50% that will not attend a service, 68% said they would if they were invited by a family member or friend.
I encourage all of you to invite those family members and friends to join you for the Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service at your church. It just might be the best and greatest gift they will receive this Christmas.
If you and your family do not have a local church where you worship, I would like to personally invite you to join us at Journey of Faith for our Christmas Eve worship service where we will learn that the Peace on Earth that was given to us that first Christmas is still available to us today. Our service will begin at 5:00 PM and will conclude with a candlelight ceremony. Journey of Faith is located at 135 N. Valley Center, Glendora, 91741.
May God bless you and your family this Christmas. May we all recognize and celebrate Christmas as God intended. From myself, my family and the entire Journey of Faith family, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
