THE MOVE TO BEIJING AND XI ZHONGXUN'S 1962 PURGE Colleague Joseph Torigian. This segment explains that the book title comes from Mao's praise of Xi Zhongxun for prioritizing the party despite suffering. It traces the family's move to Beijing, the birth of "favorite son" Xi Jinping, and the father's complex loyalty to Mao. Torigiandetails Xi Zhongxun's 1962 purge, which foreshadowed the Cultural Revolution; he was removed for supporting a novel about martyr Liu Zhidan, which Mao viewed as a challenge. NUMBER 12

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260101dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Galatians 4:4-5 The Greatest Christmas Gift Many people assume Christmas is just a single day, December 25th, or perhaps two if you count Christmas Eve. But it is, in fact, a season of twelve days. Today is the eighth day of Christmas, and God has another present for you to unwrap: the greatest gift of all. This gift arrives “when the set time had fully come.” Not a moment too late or too soon, the gift came at a specific, perfect moment in history, precisely when it was most needed. The gift came from God, because “God sent.” He did all the work; all you do is receive it. What did he send? “His Son, born of a woman.” The eternal God took on human flesh and blood. He who had no beginning suddenly had a birthday, an age, a hometown, and a body confined to time and space. The One who fills heaven and earth humbled himself to dwell among us. This humbling involved being “born under law.” That means he placed himself beneath the very commandments he authored and lived a life of perfect obedience. Jesus wasn’t your Savior only for the six hours he spent on the cross; he spent thirty-three years before that fulfilling the law in your place, as your Substitute. Every commandment you break, he kept flawlessly for you. Why this perfect obedience? “To redeem those under the law.” That’s all of humanity, including you. We are all under God’s law and guilty of breaking it. So, Jesus kept that law for us and bore its punishment on the cross, buying our freedom from our slavery to sin. The glorious result? “That we might receive adoption to sonship.” That’s amazing! In his Son, God the Father has given you the greatest Christmas gift of all: He made you a member of his family. No longer a slave, you are now an heir of forgiveness, peace, comfort, hope, and the everlasting riches of heaven. Prayer: Son of God, thank you for being born under the law to redeem me and make me an heir of heaven. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Servants of Grace Podcast Series: Walking Through the Psalms Host: Dave Jenkins Date: January 2, 2026 If the Lord Had Not Been on Our Side (Psalm 124) Show Summary Psalm 124 calls God's people to look back with gratitude and confess a sobering truth: if the Lord had not been on our side, we would not still be standing. In this episode, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 124, showing how remembering God's past deliverance guards us from pride, fuels worship, and strengthens obedience. Ultimately, this psalm points us to Jesus Christ—the One who broke the snare, delivered us from sin and death, and remains our only hope. Audio Player Video Player Key Scripture Psalm 124 Episode Notes Psalm 124 teaches God's people to remember deliverance and confess God's faithfulness. Remembering grace guards us against pride and spiritual amnesia. Faith does not deny danger—it tells the truth and then looks to God. God's people stand because God intervenes. Psalm 124 ultimately points to Christ, our Deliverer, who broke the snare and secured our rescue. Episode Outline 1. A Sobering Confession: “If Not the Lord” (vv. 1–2) The psalmist calls God's people to speak the truth together: survival was not inevitable. If the Lord had not been on our side, we would not be here. 2. The Danger Was Real (vv. 3–5) Scripture does not soften the threat—swallowed alive, swept away, overwhelmed by raging waters. Faith does not minimize reality; faith tells the truth and then looks to God. 3. The Turning Point: “Blessed Be the Lord” (vv. 6–7) Praise erupts because the Lord intervened. The snare was broken. Deliverance came from outside of us. This is grace. 4. The Confession That Sustains (v. 8) Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. The God who delivers is sovereign, powerful, faithful, and worthy of worship. Key Themes God alone is the source of our deliverance. Remembering grace guards us against pride. Faith includes honest reflection without living in guilt or shame. God's people survive because God intervenes. Gratitude fuels worship and obedience. Application Bless the Lord consciously. Remember what He has done, what He is doing, and how He will safely lead you home. Resist spiritual pride. Don't credit your strength for what only grace can explain. Share testimony with others. Let others hear what the Lord has done and use remembrance to encourage faith. Begin this year with confidence in the Lord. He has already proven faithful—trust Him again today. Phrase to carry with you: If not the Lord, then nothing. Because of the Lord, we stand anchored in His grace. How Psalm 124 Points to Christ If the Lord had not been on our side, we would still be dead in our trespasses and sins. But Jesus Christ entered our danger, bore the wrath of God in our place, broke the snare, and secured our rescue. Because of Christ, we can say with confidence: “Our help is in the name of the Lord.” Call to Action If this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it, leaving a review, and subscribing so others can find this biblical teaching.

Scripture: Luke 2:21-40The Greatest Story SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The central message of Christmas, found in Luke 2:11, is "Christ the Savior is born." Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the promised Messiah, brings hope and peace to the world. This phrase symbolizes Jesus' fulfillment of prophecy, His divine identity as God's Son, and His mission as Redeemer. This is God's story—His master plan. Scene 1: Zechariah and Elizabeth (Luke 1:13-25)Scene 2: The angel, Gabriel, visits Mary in Nazareth (Luke 1:26-38) Scene 3: Joseph's Dream (Matthew 1:18-25) Scene 4: Mary Visits Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-45)Scene 5: Jesus' birth in Bethlehem is witnessed by angels and shepherds (Luke 2:8-20)In Scene 6, Joseph and Mary take Jesus to the temple for purification as required by the law of Moses. Two trustworthy witnesses, Simeon and Anna, who had faithfully walked with God for many years and waited for this child—God's gift—were present. Anna shares the good news of Jesus, and Simeon proclaims, “My eyes have seen Your salvation.” “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation that You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”Luke 2:29-32 Song: He Came Down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPUvf9IhQk&list=RDIEPUvf9IhQk&start_radio=1

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251231dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Matthew 2:16 The Comfort of Christmas Herod, furious that the Magi left without telling him where Jesus was, went scorched earth and ordered every boy in the vicinity two years old and younger to be killed. Historians estimate that twenty to thirty children were murdered in his desperate attempt to eliminate the Christ child. It is uncomfortable to read this so soon after Christmas. Wouldn’t it be better to skip this part? Why remember such horror during Christmastime? Because it shows what happens when light enters a world of darkness. When the light arrives, the darkness does not politely step aside. It tries to snuff the light out. This is why Jesus came: to battle the darkness that rejected him from his very first days. This same battle between light and darkness continues in your own heart. When Christ’s light shines within you, your sinful nature fights against it. Yet God remains on your side—God rescued his Son from Herod’s sword so that his Son could rescue you from eternal darkness. Jesus’ death and resurrection became the ultimate light that conquers the darkness. And here lies one of the Bible’s hardest truths: though God possesses all power and hates evil, he still permits suffering. So here is the comfort of Christmas: God may save us from evil, or he may save us through evil. The boys of Bethlehem died tragically, but Christ the Savior was born not to save them from Herod, but from hell, and that is what he did. With God, wherever there is weeping, comfort follows. The grieving mothers of Bethlehem would see their sons again because their King came to save them through tragedy into heaven’s triumph. This is the comfort of Christmas. That even though the darkness could take the boys of Bethlehem away from their parents, it could not take them away from Christ. It cannot take you away from him either. Prayer: Merciful Father, thank you for the comfort of knowing that no darkness can separate me from the light of your Son. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251230dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Matthew 2:14-15 Out of Egypt The words in our Bible reading today show that even as a baby, Jesus was already fulfilling prophecy and establishing his credentials as the promised Savior. When King Herod sought to murder the Christ child, God sent the holy family fleeing to Egypt. Seven hundred years earlier, Hosea had foretold that God’s Son would go there and return—and now Jesus, cradled in his mother’s arms, was living out that prophecy. To understand this fulfillment, though, we must recall Israel’s story. Over three thousand years ago, God adopted a nation of slaves and called them his son. He brought Israel out of Egypt, led them through the wilderness, and gave them a new home in Canaan. But Israel did not always return their Father’s love. The people he rescued turned to false gods and sacrificed to idols. Through prophets like Hosea, God warned his disobedient children what would happen if they refused to repent. They deserved punishment for their idolatry. Yet God could not stop loving his son. That is the backdrop for Matthew’s quotation. Jesus is the perfectly obedient Son of God—so fully identifying with God’s people that his life mirrors theirs. As Israel once went down to Egypt, so he went down to Egypt. As Israel was called out, so he was called out. Where Israel failed, Jesus succeeded; where Israel rebelled, Jesus obeyed. And he obeyed for you! When the time had fully come, God sent his beloved Son to be born in Bethlehem, to live as the obedient child you were meant to be, to die on the cross, and to rise again so you could be brought into God’s family. He loved you so much that he poured out his Spirit into your heart so you can cry, “Father!” and know that the Almighty delights to hear you, protect you, bless you, and save you. Even though you have been a rebellious child, God’s grace is greater than your guilt. His love at the manger and the cross is more than enough to bring peace on earth and good will to men. Prayer: Father, thank you for fulfilling your Word by calling your Son out of Egypt, so that I am your own dear child. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Massive Fraud Allegations (WATCH NICK's VIDEO HERE!) Minnesota has spent $18 billion on Medicaid over several years, with up to $9 billion allegedly lost to fraud. Fraud reportedly involves fake daycare centers and autism centers receiving millions in state funds without providing services or having children present. Example: Facilities licensed for dozens of children but found empty, with windows blacked out and doors locked. Political Corruption Democratic politicians, including Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, ignored or enabled the fraud. Stolen funds were used to influence elections and fund campaigns. We bring up Ilhan Omar and have questions about her financial gains. Investigative Work by Nick Shirley A 23-year-old YouTuber, Nick Shirley, conducted undercover investigations, visiting daycare and autism centers, documenting the absence of children, and exposing suspicious operations. His video reportedly went viral, reaching over 90 million views. Media Criticism Strong criticism of mainstream (called “Corporate”) media for allegedly ignoring the story. Praise for independent investigative journalism. Security and Confrontations Confrontations with individuals at the centers, some becoming hostile. Police involvement when Shirley attempted to gather information at healthcare offices. Financial Scale Examples of payments: individual centers receiving $1–$3 million annually. Autism-related Medicaid payments allegedly skyrocketed from $1.3 million in 2017 to $228 million in 2024. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

But Democratic operatives believe their bellicose cheering to be “manna from heaven”; showing Trump and the GOP to truly be the party of fascist dictators. Later Glenn Kirschner joins Mea Culpa to discuss how there's real blood in the water for Donald Trump and believes his days are finally numbered.
