Cedric Fisher: "earnestly contending for the faith."
“…and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” – John 15:2
So we bear some fruit and look up to get a commendation or a blessing. Nothing. Heaven is like on the other side of a sheet of brass. God is silent.
What did we do? Did we do it wrong? Are we being judged for pride in our achievements? Why do we feel so chastised and even worthless? Continue reading
Over the past few days, the “prophets” are at it again, prophesying great things for 2016. They have completely ignored the failure of their prophecies for last year. There was a substantial degradation of Christianity and significant advancement of evil in society in 2015. The “blood moons” prophecies were a flop. In the degradation department, Hillsong Church’s (London) Christmas program won top ranking for blasphemy, especially their rendition of Silent Night.
Therefore, it is essential to ignore the prophets that are prophesying peace, miracles, prosperity, and a great end-time revival for 2016. They are lying prophets who have no connection to God. If they were true prophets, they would be warning the people. To counter their pompous prophecies, I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to write about what to expect in 2016. Continue reading
A Christmas Poem
C. H. Fisher
Memories of my childhood, Christmas was near.
I wondered about Santa and his magic deer.…
I wondered if he really knew all about me,
And why were there presents under the tree
Many years had passed before I realized,
That there was no magic Santa, no magic sleigh in the sky,
No chimney large enough that he could come down,
And no plausible way that he could visit every town.
On one summer eve the truth finally came.
There was only one man, Jesus is His name,
That could offer the blessings of peace and good will,
And a solution to all the world’s ills.
He gave me a gift more priceless than all
The gifts that a mythical Santa could haul.
He gave me salvation and freedom from sin.
No longer a slave, I now live for Him.
So when Christmas comes with its glitz and glamour,
With shopping flurry, music, and clamor,
Shopping carts racing down aisles full of toys,
Music, and shouting, and honking, and noise.
I focus on what really matters each day,
That Christ is the life, the truth, and the way.
And if it is about His birthday celebration.
What could we give that would bring jubilation,
To heaven and angels, cherubs, and the Father,
Is there anything on earth we could possibly offer?
Yes, there is a gift that we can give Him.
We can offer our lives and turn away from sin.
We can love, care, give, and be kind,
Every day, not just at Christmas time.
If His birthday is truly the reason for this commotion,
Let’s ignore the magic Santa and give Jesus our devotion.
