Ah, the joy of The Jesus Birthday Season is upon us once again!

And in this season we too, like the wise men of old, can give thoughtful and meaningful gifts to Him.

One way to do just that is by sharing with His Body and bringing to His Family something  even greater than that of gold or frankincense or myrrh . . . that being the riches and truths and treasures of His Word!

Indeed the Psalmist declared that His Word is "more to be desired than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb."

So, perhaps some of you in our Searchlight family may want to share our "Thru The Bible" MP3 set with somebody you know for Christmas.

This MP3 set is made up of teachings and sermons I have given (over 1,200 in number!) that systematically go through both the Old and New Testaments book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

I really do believe this set would make a most meaningful and truly helpful gift, especially in this season where we celebrate and commemorate how "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" . . . indeed He declares, "Lo, I have come in the volume of the book!"

Now to help to make this happen, we are offering for a limited time (thru December 24), a special Christmas gift-giving package . . . for every two sets you buy, we will give you a third set absolutely free!

So if you may be interested in taking advantage of such an offer, simply click onto this link (Thru-the-Bible MP3 CD Offer) or call toll free 888-544-4858.

We here at SearchLight hope and pray that His Word will be rediscovered, received and responded to in a marvelous way in the hearts and lives of many on this coming Christmas Day!!!

Joyous in Jesus,

Jon

And he said unto me, thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Revelation 10:11

 

The idea of ‘must’ here is not a command, but a statement of what will inevitably happen when one takes in the Word. How do you know you’ve really heard the Word? When you have compassion for the sinner and/or conviction of your sin. 

‘Then why go to Bible study?’ you ask. ‘Who wants a bitter belly? I want sweetness.’ And I understand this ...

I’m watching CNN on TV when a commercial for Compassion International suddenly appears: Sally Struthers showing starving kids in Africa or Southeast Asia. 

‘Oh, no,’ I say to myself. ‘I don’t want to deal with this now.’ Click. Sally disappears. So do the kids. 

That’s what people do with Church and devotions and witnessing. ‘I don’t want to go anymore,’ they say. ‘It makes my belly hurt.’ Click, Wednesday night Bible study, gone. Click, Thursday morning worship, gone. Click, devotions gone. ‘I don’t want to deal with this sin, these attitudes, that cynicism. Just give me the sweet stuff.’

But you know what happens to those people? Their lives begin to unravel because staying in the Word is the only way to experience prosperity and success (Joshua 1:8). Yes, it will trouble you. No doubt it may upset you. But as time goes on, you will begin to see that your life is centered and grounded, fruitful and prosperous because the Word always does its work.

My prayer is that we will be those who, like John, devour and digest Scripture — the bitter portions as well as the sweet — in order that we, like John, would impact our world for the Kingdom.
