five things i heard, dec 9

  • It is believed that the original Latin text of “O Come O Come Emmanuel” was written in the 12th Century. These words that we still love and sing are almost 1000 years old. What contemporary worship song do you think will still be around in a 1000 years from now?
  • Don’t look at the powers of darkness to learn spiritual warfare. The cross proved their lack of competence. Look at your champion. – Bob Sorge
  • We could wrap up all 100 pieces of this game individually and and put them in the Silly Santa pile…yeah! (Silly Santa is a game we play at Christmas with the Humphreys.)
  • Without courage we will simply accumulate a collection of good ideas and regrets – Andy Stanley
  • Listen to this beautiful song O Children Come.
    • Hear the cry from Bethlehem
      O children come
      Son of God now born to men
      O children come –
      Bring your troubles, bring your fears,
      Bring the needs that draw you near,
      Find the hope of all the years –
      O children come!
      O children come!

      Peace on earth good will to men
      O children come
      Righteous rule that will not end
      O children come –
      Lay down all your bitterness,
      Turn from sin’s toil and distress,
      Find His grace and perfect rest –
      O children come!
      O children come!

      Where the Father’s grace has walked
      O children come
      Where you see the hurt and lost
      O children come –
      Show the mercy shown to you,
      Gifts of kindness to renew,
      Love from hearts sincere and true –
      O children come!
      O children come!
