Within the “art and science” of witnessing, we must permit the concise Gospel nugget recorded in Scripture to guide our thought-process: “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1Cor. 15:3-4 NASB).
Our salvation account isn’t called “A funny thing happened on the way to Damascus,” but God the Holy Spirit confronted each of us on our way somewhere. We should consider how God the Holy Spirit can use our 2-3 minute “BC” account in other people’s lives for His honor and glory.

The enemy continues to fight against God even though God always, always wins because the enemy only needs to win one time to “win back his place in heaven.” The enemy is “Never Satisfied,” and he will continue fighting to the bitter end!
Any believer who thinks he doesn’t matter doesn’t understand the biblical imagery of the Church—the Body of Christ. The human body has cells that fight infection, organs that remove impurities, and organs that exchange what cannot be used for what is essential to use. Do we know how and where we as believers fit into the Body of Christ and the local church?

One aspect of our problem on December 31, 2023 is that we know the LORD has His “T-Minus” without knowing his “Minus what.” Therefore, we must resolve to keep our account with God very short, and we must resolve to do more through prayer and evangelism to hold back our nation’s putrefaction before the LORD.
Zacharias, Elizabeth, and John are involved in setting up the first Christmas. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus are involved in setting up the first Christmas. Caesar, Rome, and Roman soldiers and tax collectors are involved in the first Christmas, but no one was more involved in the first Christmas than God the Father was!
Christmas is God’s temporary invasion into human history at exactly the right time and place in order to pay man’s sin-debt through shedding His innocent blood on a Roman cross, being buried in a rich man’s tomb, and rising from the dead—according to Scripture. It’s “Bigger AND Better!” than we understand.
