His Pain was our Gain
Posted by: | CommentsToday in what is known as Maundy Thursday…the day in which we have a Tenebrae Service – A SERVICE OF DARKNESS.
It reminds all of us about the dark side of humanity. The darkness of sin that lurks in each and everyone of us. We all have the potential to do very bad, even wicked things “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” It also reminds us that Jesus entered our darkness to save us. He endured betrayal, denial, false accusations, mockery, beatings, and even the cross. Some may ask why Jesus did this? The answer is simple – He did it for us. The pain He endured, even death on a cross was for us. Jesus thought of us…more specifically…He thought of you and me. He did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. And all who believe in Him will be saved from the consequences of sin that follow us into the grave and into eternity. The Light (Jesus) came into the world of darkness…so that we may live by His Light.
So on this night of darkness remember…remember His pain…remember His suffering…remember His anquish. Walk with Him on this journey…let His pain change your life….let Him take your place…so that you might live in light instead of darkness! For out of the darkest moment of humanity is the faint glimmer of light of the coming resurrection. And when the resurrection comes…the light casts out the darkness.
His pain was our Gain.
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
