When Santa walked into First National Bank on December 23, 1927, it wasn't to make a deposit or apply for a loan. He was there to make a permanent withdrawal at gunpoint, along with his helper. What ensued was a massive manhunt for the bandits and a lot less holiday cheer in the town of Cisco, Texas.SOURCEShttps://archive.org/details/StartlingDetectiveMar1930/page/n13/mode/2uphttps://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/santa-claus-bank-robberyhttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/609749/santa-claus-bank-robbery-1927http://www.texasescapes.com/MaggieVanOstrand/The-Night-the-Posse-Chased-Santa.htmHouse, Boyce (March 1930).

What's up, dudes? It's another minisode! Today we're celebrating Halloween and Christmas with the John Barrett penned Ted E. Bear story "Christmas Comes to Monster Mountain!" It's a the literary sequel to “The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas” and “The Great Bear Scare.”John Barrett came up with the story to “The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas” and developed the teleplay for the special which was subsequently produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises in 1973. The special stars Ted E. Bear as a curious bear who yearns to discover and experience Christmastide, even as he endures ridicule from the entire bear community. Barrett also wrote several sequels to the special, including “The Great Bear Scare.” In this adventure, the bears of the city of Bearbank hear rumors that Count Dracula and the other monsters from Monster Mountain are going to invade and conquer Bearbank on Halloween. Teddy believes he has found a way to deter and repel the creatures, and indeed he does save the day. In fact, “The Great Bear Scare” was turned into a special layer in 1983, though the animation is stilted and incomplete. Dracula also has trouble turning into a bat for some reason.That now brings us to “Christmas Comes to Monster Mountain.” Developed by the LeFave Company, it was published in 1981 by Children's Press. The illustrations were done by Rick Reinert Productions in the style of the original special. Dracula, the leader of the monsters, is running for re-election, and needs a scheme so vile that it secures his victory. His diabolical plot: kidnap Santa. I wonder if Jack Skellington took notes from this book. He writes a letter to Santa pretending to be a young boy so that the good saint will visit him. Sure enough, on Christmas Eve, Santa comes down Dracula's chimney and is caught in his trap. When Santa doesn't come back up the chimney, his reindeer fly off to get help. Enter Ted E Bear! He agrees to help, and since he can't rescue Santa from Dracula, he delivers all the presents in Santa's stead. On Christmas morning, as Dracula revels in his success, Ted shows up and reveals that the ploy failed because he himself delivered the presents. Dracula is sure he will lose the election; however, Santa always brings extra gifts on his trip. Ted E Bear handed them out to all the monsters for Christmas. The monsters are so overcome with joy that Dracula wins in a landslide. He brought Christmas to Monster Mountain.Scary monsters? Check. Undaunted protagonist? Got it. Learning to fly Santa's sleigh in no time? For sure!

Join The Reel Movies Guys during the month of December as they celebrate "Reel Christmas" A series where Kevin, John and Adam review all your favorite and maybe not so favorite Holiday films. On today's episode, Kevin, John and Adam take a look at the first entry in one of Disney most notable holiday series “The Santa Clause” Scott Calvin is disgusted to learn that his ex-wife, Laura, and her husband, Neil, have tried and failed to break it easy to their 6-year-old son, Charlie, that Santa Claus isn't real. On Christmas Eve, Scott reads "The Night Before Christmas" and then receives an unexpected visitor on his roof. When Santa is startled by Scott's calling out and falls off, he disappears, leaving only an 8-reindeer sleigh and a suit with instructions to put it on if he's involved in an accident. Scott does so and is transported around the town dropping gifts through chimneys until he's taken to the North Pole and informed by a group, who claim they're elves, that he is now Santa. Charlie is proud of Scott's new job, though he's convinced it was a dream. Then his hair turns white, his beard refuses to stay shaved, he gains weight inexplicably, and he has a sudden love of junk food. Now he's accepted it, there's just one problem: how to keep it a secret from his disbelieving family.

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha uses Santa Claus as a metaphor for the process of emptying the mind. Santa's job is to give gifts to all the kids for Christmas. He's working very hard to fulfill this task, travelling on his sleigh carrying a very big and heavy sack with all the presents. Similarly, our mind is carrying around the heavy load of all kinds of different emotions, feelings, moods, worries, desires, hopes, concerns, phantasies, images, thoughts... and so on. When Santa takes the gifts out of his sack, his task is simply to give it away to the kid that requested that particular gift. Whether the gift is some beautiful doll, or some ugly monster, or some boring game, Santa is not getting involved at all: He's not terrified at the monster He's not attached to the handsome doll trying to keep it for himself He's not throwing away some yukky looking Ninja Turtle in disgust Whatever he finds in the sack, he just acknowledges it and then gives it away to the kid it's meant for, without clinging or aversion to the gifts. Similarly, whatever comes up in our mind, we just acknowledge it for what it is, but don't get involved at all. We don't attach to the pleasant stuff, we're not averse to the unpleasant mental objects, no liking, no disliking, no holding on. It's not our's anyhow, so we just give it all away, letting go, emptying our mind.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) Title: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians Directed by: Nicholas Webster Produced by: Paul L. Jacobson Screenplay by: Paul L. Jacobson Story by: Glenville Mareth Starring: John Call, Leonard Hicks, Vincent Beck, Bill McCutcheon, Victor Stiles, Donna Conforti, Chris Month, Pia Zadora, Leila Martin, Charles Renn Music by: Milton DeLugg Cinematography: David L. Quaid Edited by: Bill Henry Production Company: Jalor Productions Distributed by: Embassy Pictures Release date: November 14, 1964 Running time: 81 minutes Country: United States Language: English Budget: $200,000 (estimated) The Martians Momar ("Mom Martian") and Kimar ("King Martian") are worried that their children Girmar ("Girl Martian") and Bomar ("Boy Martian") are watching too much Earth television, most notably station KID-TV's interview with Santa Claus in his workshop at Earth's North Pole. Consulting the ancient 800-year-old Martian sage Chochem (a Yiddish/Hebrew word meaning "sage", though pronounced differently from the film's version), they are advised that the children of Mars are growing distracted due to the society's overly rigid structure. From infancy, all their education is fed into their brains through machines and they are not allowed individuality or freedom of thought. Chochem notes that he had seen this coming "for centuries", and says that the only way to help the children is to allow them their freedom and be allowed to have fun. To do this, Mars needs a Santa Claus figure, like on Earth. Leaving Chochem's cave, the Martian leaders decide to abduct Santa Claus from Earth and bring him to Mars. The Martians cannot distinguish between all the fake Santas, so they kidnap two children to find the real one. Once this is accomplished, one Martian, Voldar, who strongly disagrees with the idea, repeatedly tries to kill Santa Claus along with the two kidnapped Earth children. He believes that Santa is corrupting the children of Mars and turning them away from Mars' original glory. When they arrive on Mars, Santa and the children build a factory to make toys for the Martian children. However, Voldar and his assistants, Stobo and Shim, sabotage the factory and change its programming so that it makes the toys incorrectly. Meanwhile, Dropo, Kimar's assistant, who has taken a great liking to Santa Claus and Christmas, puts on one of Santa's spare suits and starts acting like Santa Claus. He goes to the toy factory to make toys, but Voldar mistakes him for Santa and kidnaps him. When Santa and the children come back to the factory to make more toys, they discover that someone has tampered with the machines. Voldar and Stobo come back to the factory to make a deal with Kimar, but when they see the real Santa Claus, they realize that their plan has been foiled. Dropo, held hostage in a cave, tricks his guard Shim and escapes. Kimar then arrests Voldar, Stobo, and Shim. Santa notices that Dropo acts like him, and says that Dropo would make a good Martian Santa Claus. Kimar agrees and sends Santa and the children back to Earth. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/waldina/message

Lord Santa's Review by Sarah MirzaAsh is a Light Warrior who reports to Santa's grotto after a three-year absence to undertake her review. Expecting to be in disgrace, instead she finds herself totally unprepared for the reception. Her review brings surprises and Ash learns about her own levels of power and connection higher than she had ever understood. Perhaps she is much, much more than the maverick she is considered to be? She must learn to stand with her powers. When Santa enters the Collective Stream of Consciousness and delivers his gifts, he learns that it is indeed time for people to move to the next level. Ash's new team is barely assembled before a breach in the Earth's energy grid makes it necessary for them to act immediately. Will Ash prove to be all that the Light Warrior Order believes her to be? And if she is, where will it take her?Sarah Mirza lives in Yorkshire, England, where she was born. After travelling and living abroad she returned to her roots in Sheffield. Having experienced an intense awakening in the 1990's she has studied, experienced, practiced and read much about spiritual and religious philosophies ancient and modern. But it is always human behaviour and the actions of heart and mind that fascinate her. Her own journey is continuous as she tries to understand how humans tick. Whether this is politics, spiritual practice, attitudes to the Earth, environment or the higher levels of connection and communication. Love and Light to all.https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Santas-Review-Sarah-Mirza/dp/1647539374/https://authorsarahmirza.com/http://www.urlinkpublishing.comhttp://www/bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/smirzaurl.mp3  

Today's story, Santa's Bean Bag, is a story that tells you what Santa does after Christmas.Free activity sheet available at https://www.rituvaish.com/santas-bean-bagSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.TranscriptChildren, have you ever wondered just exactly what does Santa does right after Christmas?Most of you are probably far too busy playing with the toys to even think about what Santa does after Christmas.It really is very easy to guess! When he gets back to Santa Land, he eats a huge bowl of porridge, his favorite, and then he goes to bed and sleeps for a week.Well! almost a week.Yes, that's right a week, and nobody can wake him up. All the elves wear their earplugs because his snoring is so loud.You would think that the elves and reindeers would be tired too.Yes, indeed they too are tired and they usually sleep for a day or two or maybe three for they all have been so busy, and they are so very tired.Santa doesn't sleep in his bed for his extra-long After-Christmas sleep.Mrs. Claus is pleased to say he has a giant extra-large bean bag for extra-long snoozy snoozes.Before finally deciding on the bed Santa tried many.Santa had first tried a hammock but kept falling out.Next, he tried a water bed, but he was seasick.After that, he tried an air bed but he was far too heavy - it hissed and fizzed all night long until it was as flat as a pancake by morning! And Santa had backache for a month!Santa's bean bag is big and squashy, and it is an enormous Santa size, and it is blue with white stars. After Christmas, Santa is a bit fed up with red as you can imagine. And his red coat and black boots are sent down to the elves' laundry room to be washed and all the buttons and tears repaired. Climbing up and down the chimney and steering a sleigh at high speed can ruin a red coat.And Christmas stockings are completely banned until next Christmas, so, all Christmas stockings for a hidden way out of sight. When Santa wakes up with a huge yawn and giant groan, he has a big breakfast, even if it is at breakfast time. And then it is time to plan the famous After-Christmas party.All the elves, reindeer, and Santa just love that After-Christmas party.At the After-Christmas party, there is just about everything that makes it into a special party. There are cakes-sticky cakes with jellybeans chocolate fudge. There is ice cream, all kinds of special melting tastes. There is a chocolate fountain with fresh fruit to dip.There are games, everybody has their favorite party game. The elves love noisy games. So, there are lots of noisy balloon games. Stick on reindeer's tail is always a big hit - elves have blindfolds and tails are soft and fluffy and nobody wins.There are lots of games with music too- musical bumps are noisy, and also everybody's funniest game. Have you ever seen a reindeer bump with the thump onto a cushion when the jingle music stops?Funny sight, right?And then there are presents. Silly presents, the sillier the better – the presents are all wrapped in bright paper, but no red! They are piled up high and l the names of all the elves are put into a big bag. Santa picks one of the presents from the huge pile and then dips into the bag to pick a name – so who gets what? That's the fun and nobody knows. There are hula hoops, slime kits, crazy masks, cuddly sharks, soapy bubbles, sticky tattoos, Mad hats, and lots of laughs.And everybody says this is the best party ever!Well, until next year, it always is the best.I know a lot of children would like to go to Santa's extra special After-Christmas party, but sorry it's elves and a reindeer-only party.But maybe there is something you children can do for Santa and it would only take a minute or two.Do any of you ever send a little thank you note after you got your Christmas Presents? It's time you do that. Write a note or draw a picture just to say thanks to Santa. But not on red paper, please!

When Santa returns home, he learns about the tragedy in the workshop. His helpers, Kent and Judy tell him about a practical joke gone wrong. Is this the worst setback…

0 (1s): It was a great celebration last night. How many made it last night? It was good. Good, good stuff. The live nativity, the tree lighting, the Christmas carols. We just had a wonderful time. Last night, I think last night was the 17th annual Christmas parade. And when that, that Christmas parade first started, it was so small that they didn't even close down the streets. And, and then it has just grown over the years. And for a number of years, pastor Mark Valdez, and I have been announcing the parade right in front of the church. And it's just been delightful to see God grow that thing. 0 (41s): And we pulled into town about three o'clock prayed, started at five. We got here about three and we see every, all the trees are lined with, or streets are lined with chairs and people getting ready for the festivities. It was just really, really cool hundreds and hundreds of people showed up. It was really, really fun. So thanks to all of our team who worked to pull everything off tech teams, children's ministry, youth, just everybody behind the scenes working to make it beautiful. And I'm always nervous. Yeah. When Santa does the countdown, 10, nine, I'm always nervous. First of all, we couldn't find Ron he's flipped a switch and a, so Santa is out there and I'm like, where is Ron? 0 (1m 22s): Ron is he's missing an action. You know? So it turns out Ron was right where he was supposed to be. So I was, I did, I forgot what I thought it was going to be switched somewhere else. So, so anyway, the countdown happening when we lit the tree and it was just delightful. So good job, everybody. It's been such a crazy holiday season, a crazy year. So far with everything going on at 1 0 2 and little update with 1 0 2 are, I want to choose our new worship center, just up the streets. That's about one minute walk from here. And we've been praying for a building permit six months into our project there. And on December 1st we got a Christmas miracle and we got our building permit. 0 (2m 5s): So that was really, really great. We've been working on it for six months. And so we've done all of the rough electrical, plumbing, mechanical, all that kind of stuff, new HVAC system, all kinds of stuff is in. So we, we called for an inspection. So Tuesday we'll get all of that inspected and hopefully we pass muster and they'd give us the permission to kind of begin to insulate everything and drywall everything and do all the, all of the finishing touches. So we had originally planned to get it done pretty quick. And then as these things go, they it's taken longer than expected. And so thank you for your patience. I, I think we'll be in by Easter. 0 (2m 45s): Of course, then we usually have an outdoor Easter service. So I don't know if we'll be in for Easter or not, but that's, that's probably the deal. So anyway, it's been super busy. And so we're, we're going to be talking about rest today. As we get into Hebrews chapter four, it's it's, it's timely for this seasoned. A lot of us were here late last night and then early this morning, getting ready for things. And with Thanksgiving events happening, it's just been a, it's been a, it's been, it's been very, very, very much a busy time of year. I, I got up earlier this week and I got up early to do some work and about nine o'clock in the morning, I told my wife, I said, you know, I think I need to nap 9:00 AM. 0 (3m 27s): She said, okay, go ahead. So I crawl in bed and in my defense, I had restless dreams at that night, all that night. I hadn't been fighting in my dreams. I haven't had a fight since like junior high school, but I was fighting in my dreams and I kept waking up and kept saying stuff out loud. And my wife was nervous. You know? She's like, Hey, are you okay? You're okay. But I was like in a real fist fight in my dream. You just had dreams like that. Fist fights. No. Okay. Whatever. I don't know where it came from. Either dreams were odd, but anyway, so I had got some pretty restless sleep in the night. And so, so at nine o'clock, I crawl back in bed for some more rest and woke up at 10 30. And of course my wife's on the phone with my sister. She said, you're not going to believe what your brother did. 0 (4m 10s): It's a good time for napping. Isn't it. So we're gonna be talking about talking about rest today. And the title of the message today is God's rest is available to you. God's rest is available to you when God talks about rest. It's a two fold rest. And as we said, he Hebrews chapter four, what kind of learn more about it? But it's a fold rest. There's a temporal rest here in the earth for those who trust in the Lord. And then there's this eternal rest where we will spend eternity with the Lord in heaven. And so it's temporal rests means that in the day-to-day rhythm and routine of our lives, we can find peace in the Lord, no matter what's happening. 0 (4m 54s): When we are intentional, we can find the rest that God has Forrest temporary rest means peace in the midst of the storm. We've had some storms this year and some difficulties this year, our good friend Jr. Passed away a couple of weeks ago. We just did a service yesterday. A lot of you saw on the prayer chain about a three-year-old little girl who drowned on Thanksgiving. And so we've known the parents since they were little guys and so difficult stuff. A lot of people just dealing with difficult stuff. And the reality of the gospel of our relationship with Jesus is that he offers us rest in the midst of the storm. 0 (5m 41s): Temporal rest means faith. Instead of fear, it means trust instead of anxiety, it means joy instead of worry, but we have to choose it. We have to decide to overcome our worries with the joy of the Lord temple rest trust. God's love it. Trusts God's forgiveness. His provision, his goodness temporal rests puts us in this place where we just have confidence in who God is. And so no matter what happens, we can just rest in the Lord. So that's the temporal rest that is available to us who trust in the Lord. And then there's eternal. 0 (6m 20s): Rest in eternal rest means no more pain or sorrow and we're sin or temptation, no more sickness or death. No more darkness. Imagine that no more darkness because the son of God will light up the heavens eternal rest means there will be no longer a curse on anything at the fall. There was a curse that covered the earth and to humanity and in the new heavens and the new earth and eternity, there will be no longer a curse on anything. Imagine not a curse on anything, not in your relationships, not in your personal physical bodies, not on the earth that is polluted and dying all around us. 0 (7m 10s): Imagine just life, life abundantly throughout the earth through this new heavens and the new earth eternal rest means we will see Jesus face to face and we will be in his presence forever. More. I'm looking forward to seeing Jesus face to face. I just cannot wait for that day. And for all eternity, when we get to see our savior face to face. Well, as we wrapped up Hebrews chapter three last week, we read that because of Israel's unbelief because they did not believe they were not able to enter God's rest. God rescued the nation of Israel out of Egypt. After hundreds of years of bondage and slavery, with the intention of leading them into their place of rest, the promised land, the land of Canaan, but because of their unbelief, they were not able to inherit the promise, the promised rest that God had for them. 0 (8m 6s): Imagine God working miracles to deliver the people of Israel out of this place of bondage and slavery and parting their red seas, giving them the access, helping them to escape from there, the Egyptians who were pursuing them and taking them on this journey and through all of that, just the subtle hardening of heart rebelliousness and sin developed. And they missed their opportunity to enter into God's place of rest. They failed to enter that rest. Why? Because they, again, rebelled, they sinned and they disobeyed God and therefore forfeited their blessings of God on earth and in eternity. 0 (8m 47s): So when the book of Hebrews talks about rests, it is referring to God's promise to grant his people ultimate in heaven, but Believer's also get a taste at temporal rests in the here and now. And that's really good news, right? I mean, it's going to be amazing in heaven, but isn't it amazing in the here and now that we can rest in the Lord, that we can experience his peace. And his joy has clarity that we can get wisdom for our circumstances for our lives. And we can know without a shadow of a doubt as followers of the Lord, Jesus Christ, that the presence of God has taken a residency in us that the holy spirit lives in us in all of the blessings that go with that. 0 (9m 33s): All of the fruit of the spirit love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. The fruit of the presence of the living. God allows us to rest even in the midst of very challenging and difficult life circumstances. So Canaan was the place of temporal rest for Israel. We are meant to have a Canaan type of experience with the Lord before ever going to heaven. Our Canaan experience is the place of faithful rest, where God has trusted. God is believed and where God is followed all the days of our lives. 0 (10m 13s): And from this place of trust and this place of faith and this place of discipleship, we experienced a supernatural and it's nothing short of supernatural. This rest that we're talking about that is available to us as believers, as followers in the Lord, Jesus Christ. It's nothing short of supernatural. I say this all the time, everything that God asks us to do requires is supernatural grace and power to accomplish that everything that God has done in our lives from salvation to filling us, to keeping us all of that as a supernatural work of God in our lives, taking care of us as his sons and daughters is from this place of trust and faith and discipleship. 0 (10m 55s): We experienced a supernatural ability to endure and enjoy life here in the earth. And there's plenty to enjoy here in the earth, but man, how much better is our permanent place of rest with the Lord? So for the believer earth is not our home. It's our temporary place of rest until, until we get to heaven, heaven is our place of permanent rests. So how can we enjoy God's rest here like today, and also in eternity that the chapter Hebrews chapter four helps us to understand how to attain that rest. You guys ready to Hebrews chapter four verse one says God's promise of entering his rest still stands. 0 (11m 41s): So we got to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it for the, this good news that God has prepared. This rest has been announced to us just as it was announced to them, their ancestors people in the wilderness experience, the good news of rest was communicated to them, but it did them no good because they didn't share the faith of those who listened to God. Some manuscripts read, they didn't combine what they heard with faith. And that's part of the journey as followers of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We have to take in the message of the good news, the gospel. 0 (12m 21s): We have to read the Bible from, start to finish, take it in and then add faith to it, making the decision choosing by God's grace to believe what we're reading about and believe what God wants to accomplish in our lives. And so it's by faith that we move forward as followers of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We come to come to Jesus through faith, but then we walk with him by faith for the rest of our lives and things don't ever change. We always walk by faith and not by sight. God's rest is available. Number one, God's rest is available to you by faith. This is how we experience it simply by faith. 0 (13m 5s): Verse three says for only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said in my anger, I took an oath. They will never insure my place of arrest. So we keep seeing Psalm 95 quoted in these couple of chapters that we've been studying three and four. It's a warning to the people of Israel and also a warning to all believers, everywhere that if we're not careful entering into this place of rest can be missed. If we don't understand the process of entering into that. So Hebrews 11 one says faith is the confidence. What is faith? It's the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen. 0 (13m 51s): It's like last night, when we're getting ready to light the tree, I'm hoping the thing will light up. I had faith that it would eventually light up, but in the more serious things of life, we have these hopes and longings and dreams. And Ron talked about writing the names of people in 1 0 2 on the walls, believing we've got this hope that these people would get touched by the Lord that they'll come to faith in Jesus Christ, that they'll give them themselves to the Lord. And so we have these hopes. Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen. Even if it takes years, it will happen. As we put our trust in the Lord, it gives us faith. 0 (14m 32s): It gives us a shore. It's about things. We can not see faith walking by faith and not by sights. Hebrews 11, six says, it's impossible to please God, without faith, we can please God, by his grace. As we put our faith in, as we put our faith in him for salvation, for help in the day to day that we're, we're trusting that we're filled with his presence and with his power to overcome sin sickness, all of the things that come before us in this life, it's impossible to please God, without faith, Ephesians two, eight and nine says for by grace are you saved through faith. 0 (15m 18s): And so we're saved by grace through the faith that we put into that grace gift that the Lord has given to us and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. So the unbeliever, the unbeliever will never enter into this rest because we enter into it first and primarily through this thing called faith. Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen is the assurance of things we can not see at all by faith. We worship an invisible God by faith. We show up on Sunday morning to worship and invisible God by faith we'd gather. And we pray for one another, believing that God is at work in the world by faith. 0 (16m 3s): We move forward as followers of the Lord, Jesus Christ, Hebrews four, three continues. Even though this, this rest has been ready since he made the world, we know it is ready. Be even though, so verse four, we know it is ready because of the place in the scripture where it mentions the seventh day on the seventh day, God arrested from all his work. And so God invites humanity into this place of rest. So after the creation account got arrested from all of his work, he got invites us into that place of perfect rest with him, verse eight. But in the other passage, God said they will never enter my place of rest. 0 (16m 45s): Speaking of the faithless. So God's rest is there for people to answer, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. So there's faithlessness and disobedience. Number one, God's rest is available to you by faith. Number two, God's rest is available to you through obedience. So we're not saved by our obedience. We're saved by grace, through faith, in the finished work of the Lord, Jesus Christ. When we believe that he died for our sins, we enter into this faith relationship with the Lord, this discipleship process, where we begin to follow him all the days of our lives. And so that's the process. 0 (17m 26s): We get saved and baptized. We get filled with the holy spirit. We get the blessing of walking with God and knowing that our sins are forgiven and that he he's adopted us into his family. So that's, that's how we are saved. But this place of rest is available. As we, as, as we choose to as disciples of a living, God be obedient to him. So we're, again, we're not saved by our obedience, but it is an indication. It's an indication of what's going on. Our obedience is an indication of our commitments, our faith, and our hearts toward God. Do we really follow him? Do we really follow him? 0 (18m 6s): It, it will be proven by our obedience. That question will be answered by our obedience or by our disobedience. Do we really follow him as evidenced by our obedience to him? Do we really believe him? That question will be answered by the evidence of our lives. Do we obey him out of our belief in him? Do we really believe him? Or are we just offering lip service? What do we think about this? Jesus, do we really love him? It's easy to say. I love you, Jesus. 0 (18m 46s): But Jesus had some things to say about what those words actually mean in John 14, 15. Jesus said, if you love me, you will keep my commandments. If you let me will keep my commandments. Jesus is saying, listen, you will be obedient to me. If you love me, if you genuinely love me, you will be obedient. John 14, 21 says this. Jesus said those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. So those who accept and then choose to obey his commandments. Those are the ones who love him. 0 (19m 27s): And because they love me. Jesus said, my father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them in John 14, 22 and 23, Jesus replied all who loved me will do what I say. He just keeps driving this home. All who love me will do what I say. There's obedience naturally connected to our love relationship with the living. God, we can't be disobedience to God and still declare that we love him because if we truly love him, we will do what he's asked us to do. All who love me will do what I say. 0 (20m 8s): My father will love them and we will come and make our home with each of them is the promise in John 14, 22 and 23 verse 24 says anyone who doesn't love me will not obey me. He just continues to drive it home. Anyone who doesn't love me will not obey me. And remember my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the father who sent me. So there's a direct connection that direct correlation, obedience and love, love, and obedience. They go hand and hand in hand and the great in Matthew 28, 18 through 20 Jesus came and he told us his disciples. 0 (20m 53s): I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit. And often we'll stop the quote there. We won't go on to verse 20 where it says, teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you and be sure of this. I am with you always, even to the end of the age. And so he's calling us to teach people to be obedient and he's promising his presence is ever present presence and help in our time of needs. When we're trying to be obedient to his commandments and all of the commandments, kind of the law and the prophets, they all boil down to the word. 0 (21m 39s): Love. God has called us to love him. And he's called us to love one, another everything in the old and the new Testament calls us to love. And so that's part of the obedience that God has called us into that we might love him wholeheartedly and that we might love others, whole heartedly. So it's a challenge, but God promises to be with us, giving us the ability and the grace to do the things that he's asked us to do. So rest is the result of faith. Number one, rest is the result of obedience. Let's take a look at what verse seven says for seven Hebrews four says, so God set another time for entering his rest. 0 (22m 21s): And that time is today. Now is the day to enter into his rest. Got announced this through David much later in the word's already quoted in Psalm 95. Today, when you hear his voice don't harden, your hearts. Number three God's rest is available to the tender hearted, had a young guy call me up this week. And he said, Hey, I'm thinking about the ministry. I'm thinking about going into full-time vocational ministry. He said, what can I do to get prepared, to begin, to get prepared for full-time vocational ministry? So we talked about a lot of different things, and I said, you know, probably the most important thing that will sustain you among other things. 0 (23m 4s): But one of the most important things is, is that you keep your heart tender. I said, it's a rough business. The ministry, it's a people business. And if you don't work to keep your heart tender, your heart will subtly kind of harden up. And I, I told him, I said, you won't be able to serve God or others if your heart is not tender. So you'll have to constantly be forgiving people, loving people, asking for the grace to extend to people. I said, I I've met. I know way too many people. Most of the guys and gals in my Bible college. And a lot of them in my seminary training, most of all of them have washed out of ministry over and over again. 0 (23m 47s): I I'm watching people wash out of ministry. It's a tough job. I told this young guy and I said, so I said, this is what I always tell people who are interested in ministry. If you can do anything else, go do that, right? Like anything else to do, if you can do anything else and be happy to do that. But if you can't do anything else and you still feel called to the ministry, then pursue the ministry and then God will give you the grace to do it. But you've got to keep your heart tender before the Lord so that you can minister effectively for the longterm so that you can do it for the rest of your life. God's rest is available to the tender hearted verse eight says, now if Joshua Yeshua has succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest. 0 (24m 37s): Still to come first eight points, two points, people back to Jesus. Joshua took the people of Israel into the promised land to enjoy temporal rest. But this verse I believe is pointing us to Jesus. Who's made a way for us to enjoy eternal rest in the Lord. And so this writer is challenging. These believers who are beginning to waffle in their faith about the Lord, Jesus Christ. Remember there are Jewish people who have decided to believe that Jesus is indeed the Messiah, and now they're waffling in their commitment to Christ waffling in their faith in Jesus. 0 (25m 18s): And so he's challenging them. He said, listen, they've Joshua could have done what was needed. Then Jesus wouldn't be needed or necessary, but we know that indeed Jesus was necessary for God. So loved the world that he sent his one and only son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So verse eight points the people back to Jesus. And that's really what a spiritual leaders job. A Christian leaders job is to continue to point people back to Jesus, to re re we need to be reminded constantly that Jesus he's the way the truth and the life. And no man comes to the father except through him. 0 (25m 60s): We need to be reminded that there's rests in the living Christ, that we can find peace in the living God that he is walking with us and that he sustains us so that we can endure and enjoy life. Jesus. He has secured an eternal place of rest and that's available to each of us. When we put our faith in the finished work of the Lord, Jesus Christ verse nine says, so now there is a special rest, and this is talking about a Sabbath rest, still waiting for the people of God. This Sabbath rest requires faith. It requires obedience and it requires a tender heart to experience. 0 (26m 43s): And we need to realize that Sabbath rest is actually an act of worship. We're deciding I'm going to take some time. I'm going to take the day and I'm just going to give it to the Lord as my act of worship. And so I could be busy doing a hundred other things, fixing the house, working extra hours at the job, running errands. I could be doing all of these different things, but I'm going to make sure that I have this Sabbath rest. God commanded us to honor the Sabbath day of rest, recognizing that we needed downtime in our lives margin in our lives. But we also needed that special day each week to reconnect with the Lord. 0 (27m 23s): And as believers we do that daily. We connect with the Lord on a regular basis as we walk with Jesus. And as he walks with us, as we abide in him and as he abides in us, we bear much fruit. So Sabbath rest is an act of worship. And we're called into this place of rest. How many times, how many times are we just running crazy, like burning the candle at both ends and God has, he's like calling to us rest, stop, settled down. You can trust me. You can rest in me and you don't have to kill yourself going crazy. 24 7. It's a, I think it's a trick of the enemy. 0 (28m 3s): Keeping everybody so busy and chaotic that we, we miss out on. God's very best for us. We're busy doing it, a thousand things and even seemingly good things or even seemingly spiritual things. But we're not taking that time of Sabbath rest, where we're connected to Jesus being filled by the holy spirit, being empowered to do what he's calling us to do so that we can move forward with a, a tank that is full and not depleted. God's wanting us to rest. He's wanting us to experience that temporal rest in this life so that we can move from this place into the eternal rest that he has for us. And he wants to take as many people with us. 0 (28m 45s): He wants us to take as many people with us as possible. That's why he's given us that great commission verse 10 says for all who have entered into God's rest have rested from their labors just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey, if we disobeyed God as the people of Israel did, we will fall. So another opportunity to listen to the holy spirit, through the inspired words of God, we have to be careful that we're living as obedient, sons and daughters of the living. God, it goes hand in hand with our commitment to love him and follow him for the word of God. 0 (29m 25s): Verse 12 says for the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two edge sword cutting between soul and spirit between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. This is why we encourage the church and we encourage one another to open up the Bible every day. Even if it's just for a little bit, I'm making a commitment to read a chapter or two or three in the day. Why? Because the word of God exposes the condition of our heart. And if we're not careful, our hearts will subtly grow hard calloused. 0 (30m 7s): And in that place where no good to God or to other people, it's hard to serve God or others with a calloused heart. And so as we open up the scripture, it's it begins to point out to us what needs to be fixed. Maybe you read a great faith story in, in the Bible, pick many. We're going to be going through a bunch of them and Hebrews chapter 11. But you, you read a face story and you realize, man, my faith is nothing like Noah's faith. I mean, he spent all those years building that boat. My faith is nothing like Moses faith. I don't have any faith like John, the Baptist. I don't have any faith like Mary. I just don't have. And you can look at those stories and be built up in your most holy faith and say, I want to be more faithful. 0 (30m 49s): Like Mary light, John, like Moses, like, no, I want to be more faithful. And then you are challenged in the right direction. So the word of God exposes the condition of our hearts and points out where we're being faithless disobedient and hard hearted verse 13 says nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes. And he is the one to whom we are accountable. So God knows everything anyway. So why don't we just come clean and say, God, I'm struggling to be faithful in this area to have faith for this area. God, I'm struggling to be obedient in this area. 0 (31m 31s): God, my heart's hardening up in this area of my life. God, I need you to help me in every area so that I can be faithful and obedient and tenderhearted. And as you invite the Lord into your struggle, into your battle, he is there to help. And we see that in verse 14. So then since we have a great high priest who has entered heaven, Jesus, the son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. Hold firmly by the grace of the Lord. Jesus Christ. Our high priest is for us. It says that in the scriptures that he's forever making intercession for us at the right hand of the father, he says in verse 15, this high priest of ours understands our weaknesses for he faced all of the same testing we do yet. 0 (32m 20s): He did not sin. So we've got this challenge to call upon the living God, to make sure we're thinking properly about this Jesus that we're choosing to believe. This is the outline from last week that we're choosing to believe the truth about Jesus and that we're keeping our courage and remaining confident in all of these things require the supernatural work of the holy spirit in our lives. Verse 15. Again, this high priest of ours understands our weaknesses. That's really good news. He experienced all of the temptations and the difficulties in life. And yet he did not sin. He'll give us the grace to sin less and less as we call upon him. 0 (33m 4s): As we invite him into our circumstance, he's our great high priest. So let us come. Boldly verse 16 says, let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There, we will receive his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. So maybe you're here this season and really struggling to rest to be at peace. Maybe you're here and you're just, you're not able to exhale. There's just so much pent up, worry and frustration, whatever. 0 (33m 44s): It may be so much that you're holding onto you. God wants you to confess that to him, release that to him, be filled with his presence so that you can experience this temporal rest. And ultimately this eternal rest in Christ, it's available. Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There, we will receive his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it. Most I'm gonna invite the worship team up. I'm going to invite you to stand and what we're going to pray together. And I'm just going to lead us in a couple of prayers as we stand up. And so let's just as we stand, let's close our eyes and Lord, we just want to say, thank you for this rest that is available. 0 (34m 30s): It's temporal for the here and now and it's eternal for all of time and eternity Lord. So we thank you for that Lord. I pray for my friends who are listening, gathered for this message Lord and I pray that each of us would be able to rest, especially in this holiday season. If we can arrest, find a place, this, this place of rest during the holiday season, we can do it the rest of the year. So Lord help us to find that place of rest, where we're filled with faith, obedience and a tender heart. Lord, Lord, maybe there, there are people here who've never entered into that rest at all. 0 (35m 10s): There are people here who don't know you, Jesus. The one who makes that rest possible. Maybe there are people here who don't have a relationship with you at all. And I pray for those people. We've all been there. Lord, I pray that our friends who don't know you would come to faith in you. And if you're here and you don't know Jesus, or if you're listening to this message and you don't know Jesus, if you would like to get to know Jesus, if you'd like to receive the salvation, a gift of the Lord, Jesus Christ. You simply say, God, I need you. I need you to forgive me. I'm you, you say I'm putting my faith in you. 0 (35m 51s): God, I'm choosing to be obedient to you. I'm choosing to keep a tender heart before you Lord. So we come into my life and we forgive my sins. When you call me your son, when you call me your daughter, will you adopt me into your family? And as you declare before the Lord, your desire to follow Jesus, to make him your king and Lord, he will come into your life and he will lead you all the days of your life. He loves you. Thank you, Lord. Part of a decision to follow Jesus's baptism. It's a public declaration of one's faith to follow Jesus maybe, or maybe if you've been a Christian for a long time. 0 (36m 36s): And part of your disobedience is that you haven't been baptized yet. We'll baptize you any Sunday that you would like to get baptized. We can do it today. We'll fill up the trough and baptize you today. But if you've never been baptized, we encourage you to get baptized. If you're a brand new believer like today, you got, you became a believer and got saved. The Bible calls it. If you became born again and you would like to get baptized, you're basically declaring, I am a follower of Jesus and I would like to get baptized so that my solidify and declare my decision. Then we will baptize you and look forward to that. So if you'd like to get baptized, talk to a leader here or fill out a communication card and we will get you baptized. Amen. All right. Let's worship some more. Okay. 2 (44m 33s): You are holy God. You're you're so other than we are you're you're just greater than we can fathom. Thank you for thank you for the rest that can be found when we lay down our crowns Lord and we give it all to you. Jesus, thank you God, for a great word today. Thank you for this gathering of, of, of your people. And I just pray that your word would marinate in us as we leave and we just walk away changed, ever being sanctified, made into the people that you desire to your bride. 2 (45m 19s): Lord

FATMAN, newly available on demand, is a modern, gritty, almost realistic take on the Santa Claus legend, starring Mel Gibson and Marianne Jean-Babtiste as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. While Santa - aka Fatman - deals with shrinking sales due to a noticeable lack of NICE in the world, little Billy (Chance Hurstfield) is obsessed with getting everything he wants. When Santa gives Billy a lump of coal because he’s been extremely naughty this year, Billy decides to hire Walton Goggins’ contract killer Skinny Man to hunt down the Fatman and take him out, once and for all. It's darkly comedic, twistedly violent, extremely clever holiday thriller that features strong performances across the board.  Enjoy this interview with the writers and directors of Fatman, Ian and Eshom Nelms!

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loudly for all to hear.” Buddy is an orphaned human who was raised at the North Pole by elves. When he travels to New York to find his real dad, Buddy finds a place where consumerism and anger have removed the joy of Christmas. Buddy faces many challenges in his quest to find his father, yet he continues to be joyful. When Santa can’t get his sleigh to power up, the effects of Buddy’s joy helps people begin to sing and soon, powers the sleigh. Jesus’ birth brought “joy that would be to all people.” We live with this joy, knowing that the darkness cannot overcome God’s light.

When Santa makes a deal with children to give them toys for being good... is it a legally binding contract? Peter Kissick weighs in, and the news isn't good (for kids).

Santa has two groups of helpers at the North Pole, the Gruff Elves who build the toys and the Peppermint Fairies who make the treats for the stockings. Once their work is done, Santa takes their creations and makes his Christmas deliveries. But this year, one of the Peppermint Fairies finds himself in Santa's bag. When Santa becomes weary from the journey, it's up to little Pep to step in and use his magic to save Christmas.

12. Ho, ho, ho! I love Christmas! I love Christmas! When Santa comes, When Santa comes With his sleight filled with toys For all the little girls and boys! Ho, ho, ho!Off he goes! See his reindeers, see his reindeers In the sky! In the sky! Coming from his workshop Flying over rooftops! Ho, ho, ho! Off he goes! In the morning, in the morning, There are lost of toys There are lost of toys Underneath the Christmas tree For each one in my family! Ho, ho, ho! For young and old!

On Christmas Eve, does a dinosaur sleep? Does he go up to bed without making a peep? Or does he sneak out, just to check what's to see? Does he rip open presents set under the tree? Does he pick off some ornaments, angels and all? Does he shake up the tree so the rest of them fall? Does he eat all the cookies left out for Saint Nick, giving each candy cane one sloppy lick? Does he up-end the stockings right onto the floor? Does he pick out the best gifts so he will have more? No... a dinosaur doesn't. He carols with care. He helps trim the tree so no branches are bare. He eats all his dinner, then clears away dishes, and gives his grandparents big Christmas Eve wishes. When Santa arrives, he's tucked in. Hear him snore. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, you good dinosaur!

This poem has been around the internet a while and probably on paper longer. Just a quick search I found it on AvWeb in 2006 and on an Airline forum in 2003. Another had posted it again this year and it made my smile so I thought I'd recored it here. I got bored and added the links in below.T'was the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp,Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ.The aircraft were fastened to tie downs with care,In hopes that -- come morning -- they all would be there.The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots,With gusts from two-forty at 39 knots.I slumped at the fuel desk, now finally caught up,And settled down comfortably, resting my butt.When the radio lit up with noise and with chatter,I turned up the scanner to see what was the matter.A voice clearly heard over static and snow,Called for clearance to land at the airport below.He barked his transmission so lively and quick,I'd have sworn that the call sign he used was "St. Nick."I ran to the panel to turn up the lights,The better to welcome this magical flight.He called his position, no room for denial,"St. Nicholas One, turnin' left onto final."And what to my wondering eyes should appear,But a Rutan-built sleigh, with eight Rotax Reindeer!With vectors to final, down the glideslope he came,As he passed all fixes, he called them by name:"Now Ringo! Now Tolga! Now Trini and Bacun!On Comet! On Cupid!" What pills was he takin'?While controllers were sittin', and scratchin' their heads,They phoned to my office, and I heard it with dread,The message they left was both urgent and dour:"When Santa pulls in, have him please call the tower."He landed like silk, with the sled runners sparking,Then I heard, "Left at Charlie," and "Taxi to parking."He slowed to a taxi, turned off of three-oh,And stopped on the ramp with a "Ho, ho-ho-ho..."He stepped out of the sleigh, but before he could talk,I ran out to meet him with my best set of chocks.His red helmet and goggles were covered with frost,And his beard was all blackened from Reindeer exhaust.His breath smelled like peppermint, gone slightly stale,And he puffed on a pipe, but he didn't inhale.His cheeks were all rosy and jiggled like jelly,His boots were as black as a cropduster's belly.He was chubby and plump, in his suit of bright red,And he asked me to "fill it, with hundred low-lead."He came dashing in from the snow-covered pump,I knew he was anxious for drainin' the sump.I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work,And I filled up the sleigh, but I spilled like a jerk.He came out of the restroom, and sighed in relief,Then he picked up a phone for a Flight Service brief.And I thought as he silently scribed in his log,These reindeer could land in an eighth-mile fog.He completed his pre-flight, from the front to the rear,Then he put on his headset, and I heard him yell, "Clear!"And laying a finger on his push-to-talk,He called up the tower for clearance and squawk."Take taxiway Charlie, the southbound direction,Turn right three-two-zero at pilot's discretion"He sped down the runway, the best of the best,"Your traffic's a Grumman, inbound from the west."Then I heard him proclaim, as he climbed through the night,"Merry Christmas to all! I have traffic in sight." Author Unknown

John Lennon died on 8th December 1980. 30 years later and, unfortunately, war is not over and the world is not at peace. If John were alive today, I’m sure he would be working and singing and trying for peace. His music lives on. I put the link (el enlace) to Maroon 5 and not to John because the sound quality is a bit better and I think it’s a little easier for you to understand the lyrics (las letras).

Welcome to another episode of The Behind the Scenes with Eric Fell and Shaun Stewart. It's DVD tuesday and we are checking this weeks big releases, they include Tom Cruises 'Valkyrie', 'Mall Cop' and 'My Bloody Valentine'. Enjoy! At the height of WW2, a group of high-ranking German officers hatched a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and seize power of the military command in order to end the war. The operation was codenamed "Valkyrie", for the emergency plan that was meant to be used in case of a revolt against the Nazi government. This plan had been modified by the conspirators to ensure their success, but for various reasons the plot failed when finally carried out on 20 July 1944. The conspirators of the inner circle were shot after a kangaroo trial or sentenced to death soon after. A single, suburban dad tries to make ends meet as a security officer at a New Jersey mall. It's a job he takes very seriously, though no one else does. When Santa's helpers at the mall stage a coup, shutting down the megaplex and taking hostages (Paul's daughter and sweetheart among them), Jersey's most formidable mall cop will have to become a real cop to save the day. Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever. Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. But Harry Warden wanted revenge. Exactly one year later, on Valentine's Day, he woke up...and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed. Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine's Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused.

Welcome to day #6 of the "12 Dave's of Christmas"   When Santa's line got too long the genius staff of Chapel Hill Mall in Akron, Ohio decided to invent "Archie" this 3 stories tall snowman to talk to kids (who would then relay all information to Santa). Hmmm... back to the drawing board. Music from Jimmie Bratcher from the Podsafe Music Network at music.podshow.com This show originates from www.betterdave.com
