Matthew 1:18-25

Can you imagine the conversation between Mary and Joseph? Mary: "Hey Joe, um.... by the way I um... well how do I put this well... I am "with child"." Joseph: "Are you kidding me Mary? Who is the guy? I am going to kill him!" Mary: "Who is the guy?" Well um... How can I say this... GOD!" Joseph found himself in a situation where the woman he loved, by all indications, had betrayed him. If ever there was a time when a guy had an excuse to go on a "rant", become bitter to the core and take out his revenge and wrath on Mary, God and everybody; Joseph had it. He didn't do that.

In time of Despair: Obey God Openly In time of Doubt: Seek God Sincerely In time of Direction: Follow God Fully When he found out about Mary he decided to do the "right thing".

The birds eat bountifully and the flowers dress beautifully under Gods loving care and ...

Revelation 21:22-27

And   I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.  And the city   has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for   the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.  By its light   will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth   will bring their glory into it, and   its gates will never be shut by day—and   there will be no night there.  They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.  But   nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's   book of life. We use the word “glory” as a synonym for heaven or the new earth.  There is good reason for that usage because heaven will certainly be filled with glory.  This passage refers to three different types of glory that will be present in the New Jerusalem.  Each of these uses ...
