A Life Aflame For Christ  

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,

and he who wins souls is wise.

Proverbs 11:30

Today's Bible Reading: Matthew 28:1-6.

Dwight Lyman Moody was not a polished preacher, nor a trained theologian. Born in Massachusetts, America in 1837, Moody began as a humble shoe salesman. Yet when Christ captured his heart, that same passion turned from selling shoes to saving souls. Through his simple yet Spirit-filled preaching, countless lives were transformed across America and many other lands. His message was clear and powerful—Christ saves sinners, and all who know Him must make Him known.

Moody’s zeal for evangelism birthed great works: the Moody Bible Institute, mission schools, and evangelistic campaigns that shook cities with the power of the Gospel. He once said, “The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him.” Moody determined to be that man—and God used him mightily.

But what about you? Do you know Moody’s Saviour—the Lord Jesus Christ, who still changes lives today? If you do, are you carrying on that same Gospel work, letting your light shine in a dark world? The same Spirit that empowered Moody is alive in every believer who will surrender wholly to God’s call.

Let us rise with renewed purpose—to live, speak, and serve so that others may know the Saviour we love. Souls are waiting, and eternity is near. Will you, like Moody, be that person through whom God can show His power??

Prayer: Lord, set my heart aflame as You did for Dwight Moody. Make me bold to share Your Gospel and live fully for Your glory. In Your mighty name, I ask. Amen.

Bethlehem's Story  

(Final-part 6 – A Story to Share)

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,

yet out of you shall come forth to

Me The One to be Ruler in Israel,. . .

Micah 5:2

Today's Bible Reading: Matthew 2:1-6.

In 1867, Phillips Brooks penned a timeless Christmas hymn, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” Listen to these words that capture the heart of Christmas:

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.

Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth,

And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth!

O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray;

Cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!

Long before Brooks, Micah prophesied about Bethlehem—a small town with an eternal story. Though brief, Micah’s words overflow with spiritual truth.

Today, the real story of Christmas is buried beneath lights, gifts, and distractions. But Christmas is far more than wrapping paper and shopping sprees—it’s the story of a humble town where the Saviour, Jesus Christ, was born.

This is a story worth telling. Will you share it?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, this Christmastime, help me to share with others what happened in that town of Bethlehem. In Christ's name. Amen.

Bethlehem's Story  

(An Insignificant Town - part 6)

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,

yet out of you shall come forth to

Me The One to be Ruler in Israel,. . .

Micah 5:2

Today's Bible Reading: Luke 2:21-24.

Jesus Christ was born in a tiny, overlooked town to a humble, poor family. When Mary and Joseph dedicated Him at the Temple, their offering was the smallest allowed—reserved for the poorest (Luke 2:22-24). But God never makes mistakes. Long before, Micah prophesied the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem—a town linked to King David, Israel’s greatest ruler. Jesus, a descendant of David, coming from Bethlehem, was a clear sign: He is the promised Saviour, God’s Anointed One.

God also chose Mary and Joseph carefully—godly parents who would raise Jesus by His Word. By placing Jesus in a poor family, God showed His love is for everyone. The angel declared to shepherds, “Good news of great joy… for all people!” (Luke 2:10).

So, what about you? Is Jesus just a distant figure from 2,000 years ago? Or is He alive today, ready to forgive, change, and fill you with hope forever?

Prayer: Thank you, God, for sending Your Son on one glorious night to be born from a virgin, to live a perfect life and to die on the cross for my sins. Thank you this Christmas and every Christmas, we can celebrate the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.
