PassionLife’s plans for the new year are driven by the global picture of abortion. We are focusing on three regions of the world where abortion is most concentrated as well as specific high-priority countries.
Yes, we can hasten the return of Christ by the way we live. And we ought to live and be reminded in every new year to make the most of our time to advance the kingdom of God.
John the Baptist’s words, “Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees,” found in Matthew 3:10, can used as a metaphor to describe the fight against abortion. This metaphor emphasizes the need to address the root causes of abortion, such as societal pressures and the dehumanization of the unborn.
The traditional nativity scene brings all the pieces of the Christmas story together into one picture. But don’t forget the red dragon from Revelation 12 is also part of the Christmas story. He came to destroy Christ the moment He was born and he’s trying to destroy us even now. Let us rejoice in the victory and wage the war of love.
John’s appreciation of Matthew West’s music, especially during the Christmas season, comes from a discussion they had several years ago. Matthew is passionate about using music to help encourage his listeners faith with stories of God’s faithfulness to mend and heal. John was encouraged to hear the stories behind “Mended” and “Untold.”
