The King Is Born

Sing aloud, the King is born, 

On this bright and holy morn; 

Heaven bends to kiss the earth, 

Angels herald joy and birth.


Shepherd hearts in fields awake, 

Hushed in awe for heaven’s sake; 

Stars lean low to light the way, 

Guiding night toward dawning day.


Hope now breathes in manger small, 

Love made flesh to save us all; 

Every shadow flees the light, 

Grace has stepped into the night.


Lift your voices, let them soar— 

Peace has come forevermore; 

Sing aloud with hearts reborn, 

Joy to all, a King is born.

"I'm With You"

“  I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go... I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”  – Genesis 28:15 A quiet but unmistakable thread runs through Scripture, steady as a heartbeat, shaping the way God engages with humanity. It’s captured in four simple words: “I am with you.” These words are not scattered randomly or offered casually.  They appear at the precise moments when human strength is stretched thin—when someone is stepping into a calling that feels too heavy, when a life is unraveling, when a nation is displaced, when a prophet is overwhelmed, when a disciple trembles, when the future is clouded by uncertainty. They surface exactly where fear tries to take root. Just as often, these words follow another divine command: “Fear not.” God never says this because the situation is harmless or because fear is irrational. He says it because His presence changes the meaning of the moment. “Fear not” is not a...

The Person of the Holy Spirit

  “ Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed ?” – Acts 19:2 The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force or mystical energy, but a divine Person. Scripture shows that He thinks, speaks, teaches, and can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30). These are not the traits of an abstract power but of a living Person who desires fellowship with us. Paul’s question in Acts 19:2 reveals a vital truth: Christianity without the Spirit risks becoming mere ritual or doctrine. The Spirit is not optional; He is the living presence of God who makes faith real and transformative. Paul was not asking if the disciples had felt a vague energy—he was asking if they had received the divine Person who guides, comforts, and teaches. His question assumes that the Spirit is Someone believers can know and experience. The disciples in Acts 19 had believed, but they had not yet encountered the fullness of the Spirit. Paul’s concern reminds us that true Christian life is not simply about affirming doctrines b...

Liquid Prayers

Image
As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk… ‘Not so, my lord,’ Hannah replied, ‘I am a woman who is deeply troubled… I was pouring out my soul to the Lord.”   — 1 Samuel 1:12–15 There are seasons when language collapses long before hope does. Times when the heart is too swollen with sorrow to form sentences, and all that rises to the surface is a trembling breath, a groan, or a tear. These are liquid prayers —the kind that bypass vocabulary and flow straight from the soul to the God who understands what the lips cannot speak. Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1:7–18 is one of Scripture’s clearest portraits of this kind of prayer. Year after year she carried the weight of unfulfilled longing, the sting of provocation, and the heaviness of disappointment. Her grief wasn’t a momentary sadness; it was a deep, persistent ache that shaped her days and shadowed her ...
