So much of what Christians -know- about Christmas is not from the Bible. We've allowed a lot of assumptions and myths to creep into our Christmas understanding. The realy Christmas story is far more miraculous than the one portrayed in church plays and in nativity movies. This is a 2nd of 2 messages.

Someone once said, -Man proposes, but God disposes.- Another has said, -The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.- We make lots of plans, and most of them fail. One of the reasons is that our plans fail to include God's perspective. So how do we plan as Christians-- After all, to fail to plan is to plan to fail. We have to keep God as part of the decision-making process. Pastor Robert Rohlin discusses this important concept as he continues our study of the book of James.

Eternal life is not achieved by getting sacraments from a church. It is not about doing more good works than bad works. It requires accepting the only payment for our sins. It requires a singular focus on Christ to save you. Pastor Dale Thornton explains in simple fashion these truths and ends with a testimony by a prominent pastor of his own salvation experience.

A lot of people proclaim themselves to be wise whereas truly wise people probably never make that claim.

It is somewhat odd that a sermon on marriage should be preached on October 31 -- the day that shares 2 important connotations. The world celebrates Halloween which in its most innocent form has children wearing masks and begging for candy. But in marriage, we often wear masks to either manipulate a spouse or to fool those outside the marriage into thinking everything is OK when our spouse knows better. And we tend to want to be -treat-ed- in just a certain way and in our self-centeredness, we focus our actions and words on getting that treatment. October 31 is also known as Reformation Day by many Christians to celebrate Martin Luther's nailing of his 95 points of disagreement with Catholic theology. Many historians point to this act as the start of the Protestant Reformation. And if anything needs a reformation today, it is our society's sit-com idea of marriage and how that viewe is now pervasive even among God's people. In this message, Pastor Rohlin discusses what it means to be the right spouse for your marriage to succeed.

Every marriage has challenges as 2 people with different personalities, key words, attitudes, backgrounds, and a plethora of other differences try to live together. For Christians who have entered a marriage vow, we can really struggle if we think that marriage should always be roses and candlelight dinners and then the reality of living slaps us in the face. We need to understand the real reason that marriage exists and what its purpose is. Marriage is NOT an institution made by man, but a gift from the Lord. Pastor Robert Rohlin discusses some fresh insights inspired by his recent reading of John Piper's book -This Momentary Marriage.-

Pastor Robert Rohlin on the Sunday before Thanksgiving preaches a somewhat-unorthodox sermon on Thanksgiving. He focuses in on the meaning in Numbers 11-1 where God judges the sin of complaining. There are a lot of words for that sin- murmuring, whining, griping, belly-aching, being a sore-head. Basically complaining is a sin for 3 reasons which Pastor Rohlin explains. Complaining prevents Thanksgiving. In the next sermon, he covers reasons for which we should thank God. But in this sermon, it turns out that perhaps we are all guilty of complaining from time to time. But do you know just how seriously God reacts to this sin- Prayerfully listen to determine if this is an attitude - action that you need to eliminate from your life.

James poses a rhetorical challenge. -You say you have faith. Fine, show me your faith without showing me your works. But I'll show you my faith by my works.- God can see our hearts. But men can only see the difference that Christ makes in our lives as He affects a change in our behavior and demeanor. Our actions become the barometer that shows whether our faith is real. To illustrate this, two people are put on trial for their faith -- Abraham and Rahab. One is the patriarch of the Jews who demonstrates amazing obedience while the other is a Canaanite prostitute who responds imperfectly but sincerely to her faith in Jehovah. When your actions are weighed, does the evidence convict you of being a Christian- Pastor Robert Rohlin is the executive pastor at First Baptist Church Las Colinas, a family-integrated church in the Baptist Missionary Association.

James makes it clear in his epistle that real faith cannot coexist with favoritism or racism. Both are contradictory to the very nature of the Gospel message. James chides his readers for sometimes showing favor to a rich person over a poor person. The reality is that Jesus didn't even have a place to lay his head at night. He would have identified better with the poor person in his earthly ministry. Today, racism is ever more rampant and is promoted by the very people who should have willingly embraced the meaning of the -I Have a Dream- speech by Dr. Martin Luther King. These people use racism to promote a political agenda. But the Kingdom of God is promoted by showing love to all without respect of persons.

Pastor Robert Rohlin explains why Martin Luther was mistaken in his view that James should not be in the Scriptural canon. Paul and James both refer to works but refer to 2 different things. Paul refers to -works of the law- meaning the keeping of Jewish laws. James refers to -works of mercy and righteousness- which naturally occur in our lives if we have a true saving faith in Jesus Christ. Paul and James are not in conflict at all, but looking at 2 different aspects of our faith.
