The Greatest of These is LOVE
Posted by: | CommentsHappy Valentines Day Broadman Family. May each of you know that you are loved this day.
“For God so loved (YOU) that He sent His One and Only Son (JESUS CHRIST), so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” (JOHN 3:16)
“God demonstrated His love for us in this way – while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
In I Corinthians 13 – the love chapter of the Bible we discover that “Without LOVE” we are nothing…and out of Faith, Hope and LOVE – “The Greatest of These is LOVE.”
May you know God’s unfailing love in your life each and every day.
With much Love,
PC

THE RISEN LORD
Posted by: | CommentsThe beauty of the cross and the power of the grave….CHRIST IS RISEN.
I absolutely love this modern hymn about the Risen Lord…I hope you will enjoy it and sing it in your heart.
If you do not know Christ may these words lead you to the conclusion that CHRIST IS LORD. He is the one true God. No other gods will be before Him. He has proven to be the Lord through His resurrection. He is RISEN in deed!!!! Happy early Easter…each and every morning.
Blessings and honor,

A POLITICALLY CORRECT CHRISTMAS WISH
Posted by: | CommentsA Politically Correct Christmas Wish
I got this idea form Group Publishing. This sort of holiday greeting got my attention. I hope it gets yours as well. WE live in a work that is difficult to understand and in many ways anything associated with Christ evokes a response of either acceptance or rejection to both extremes. So in the world today people are easily offended.
In response to this Group Publishing met with their attorney, and on his advice this is what they wrote:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only “AMERICA” in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
While we understand this type of pressure is what many of us experience…the CVC team wants to extend a real Christmas Greeting to you!
May you, and the people of your church, experience the true joy of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Have a blessed Christmas celebration!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON AND HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR…I say this with NO APOLOGIES OR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS 
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas from Broadman Baptist Church
Christmas means so many things to so many people. Some of Christmas is cultural and religious dependent. Some of Christmas is dependent upon your family traditions. Some of Christmas is historic. And the true Christmas story is Biblical. Christmas is rejected by some and embraced by others. Christmas sometimes evokes all kinds of responses. But overall Christmas is a time of love, caring, generosity, sharing, traditions, ideals, beliefs, family, and the sacred all mixed together.
Luke 2:11 “Today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, was born for you in the City of David.”
To me Christmas is about Christ. I can remember reading the Christmas story. Remember learning about the birth of Chrsit and that the Savior of the Lord was born on earth to Save us.
I also remember the traditions of singing Christmas carols, Christmas school plays, Christmas Church Services, Christmas Trees, Christmas Lights, Christmas Cookies and so much more. Christmas brings back very fond memories of peace, joy, love and faith.
I realize that Christmas may not be as pleasant for everyone depending upon the situation. But the good news of Christmas is intended for all.
Joy to the World the Lord has come!
Have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
Humbug to Hallelujah – Breaking Chains
Posted by: | CommentsFamily of God,
I just wanted everyone to know that I am thoroughly enjoying this sermon series called from Humbug to Hallelujah. This past week we talked about Breaking Chains that we have forged in our lives. We learned that we reap what we sow. If we sow with seeds of the flesh, we will reap the corruption of the flesh. However, if we sow with seeds of the Spirit we will reap eternal things, even eternal life in our lives.
Make the effort this Christmas season to break chains of bondage that have been forged by our own actions and decisions. The consequences do not have to remain links in our chain. Christ came to bring us freedom and what Jesus has set free is free indeed. Let Christ break the chains that bind you this Christmas and may you experience what it means to be free.
