The King Of Glory

Throughout the Bible, when people came near God’s glory they collapsed in His presence. But we also find that the Incarnation of Jesus makes it possible for us to joyfully stand in His presence forever!

Good News of Great Joy

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!     Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you;     righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey,     on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim     and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off,     and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule…

Light of the World

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:4-5) It is Christmas Eve as write this. June and I enjoyed a time of fellowship with our church. Our sermon today was based on Isaiah 9:6-7, which speaks of the child that was to be born whose name was “Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father,…

First Sunday of Advent 🌲🌲 🕯️ 🌲🌲 The first candle is lit… La première bougie est allumée… Зажжена первая свеча… Die erste Kerze brennt…

This year I made my own advent wreath. Usually I only have a decorative plate with four candles on but this year I got a straw ring and some fir branches and bound a traditionally one. It got surprisingly even for my first try and I really like how it turned out.

A 2024 Advent Fic by lululawrence

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 34k | 26 Chapters

The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks.

Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table.

Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.

happy engagement anniversary to my parents <3

Still not over this old shot from Advent Children. Sephiroth is glaring daggers up at Rufus, presumably either through Kadaj or through vague flashback imagery.

But just imagine if this is him still being forced to kneel before Rufus right after witnessing/learning about what Rufus did to Glenn...

Faith Fueled By The Promise

Sometimes we can “miss the forest for the trees.” We can get so focused on the obstacle in front of us that we forget about God’s promises. A fresh look at the Advent of Jesus should re-fuel our faith to believe that God will fulfill what He has promised.
