Today, at 12:06 pm ET, I’ll present my annual Christmas program. Having been on vacation earlier this week, I want to return to you guys on radio today. You can listen live right here starting at 12:00 pm ET. Sometime just over two thousand years ago, contrary to the song, it was not a silent night. In Bethlehem, a young woman gave birth to a baby in a stable. The story went exactly as one would tell a story if one did not want the story taken seriously.
Oh gosh. Somehow I wish we could get through this season without everyone feeling that they are better than everyone else. Just a wish. Is it the season of Love? Good. I'm all for it. Can we try the Love without the condescension? I push back when it's suggested that God's relation to Jews and the connection between Jews & God is limited by the geography. It's not.
PS, are you familiar with Margaret Starbird’s “Woman with the Alabaster Jar” which the writer claims that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalen? Someone shared it with my wife and I felt it was from Satan!
Erick, Merry Christmas to you, your family & your listeners. Can you recommend some books that articulate the history of Christianity that could help with my sharing the Good News with others?
"The Jews have Jerusalem?" The Jews have God, "in whom all the nations of the world" have been blessed, last time I heard, which was the last time I prayed this morning.
You possess a unique place in radio & influence. God has allowed you to have a hearing, an influence into a segment no pastor can occupy. As in years past, I continue to pray for God’s wisdom & grace to infuse your work. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year for you & your family Erick!
I really enjoyed your art. today. However I do have to also agree with Jim M. about the brotheres. But in my comments yesterday and the fact that the Bible tells us that in the later days, we will have a falling away, it is just one more step toward the last days. I feel that Pastor David Jeremiah's new book is about right on and we need to be busy sharing with others. I did that yesterday with a group of Seniors that are in Ass't Living in our unit. Two of us lead singing and I read scripture and talked about Christmas and why we need to be praising our Lord each and every day. I am 87 but will go as strong as He will give me the strength to do. I keep up with the world news of what is happening and seeing that the final war is NOT far away. One more sign. We also know the Chinese are developing many ways to kill many people and I feel I will see the rapture in Mid Trib.
Blessings on all who follow Erick and know Christ as their Savior.
Love the message, Erick. Unfortunately you muddled it by stating matter of factly that Jesus had blood brothers, which is by no means a settled matter. In fact, the strongest evidence of all would indicate that Jesus was an only child, to Mary at least. Otherwise, why at his death on the cross would Jesus have entrusted the care of his mother to young John, who was definitely not related. Anyway, Merry Christmas all the same. May the commemoration of the birth of our Savior bring peace, comfort and joy to a world much in need of all three.
Blessings on you Brother Erick. I don't always agree - as a fellow Believer - with your take on current events, but this I know, you and I will spend eternity together because of the reason for this season. I look forward to eternal kibitzing with you! Merry Christmas!
BTW, my future SIL brought me frozen Nu-Way hot dogs from Macon for lunch today.

Perhaps I missed something today. Because on wsb I heard Manhiem Steamroller country Christmas. ??

Amen, Erick and Merry Christmas.
I also look forward to the coming birth of the Global Methodist Church! Peace be with you.
Amen Brother!
Beautifully said.
