Hosted by Steve Webb. Chistmas is over, but the season got me thinking about children and what Jesus said about who gets into Heaven.

Scriptures
Mark 10:13-32 (NIV)
13People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, ?Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.? 16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. ?Good teacher,? he asked, ?what must I do to inherit eternal life??
18?Why do you call me good?? Jesus answered. ?No one is good?except God alone. 19You know the commandments: ?Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.???
20?Teacher,? he declared, ?all these I have kept since I was a boy.?
21Jesus looked at him and loved him. ?One thing you lack,? he said. ?Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.?
22At this the man?s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, ?How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!?
24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, ?Children, how hard it is? to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.?
26The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, ?Who then can be saved??
27Jesus looked at them and said, ?With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.?
28Peter said to him, ?We have left everything to follow you!?
29?I tell you the truth,? Jesus replied, ?no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields?and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.?
32They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.

Scripture
Luke 2:1 – 20 (NKJV)
1And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
4Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10Then the angel said to them, ?Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.?
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 ?Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!?
15So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, ?Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.? 16And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

This is the second to the last podcast in our mini series dealing with marriage. Today I share some ideas that have helped the lovely lady LeeAnn and I keep our marriage strong and health and vibrant. It’s worth listening to, I promise!
Scripture
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails.

Sorry about that, but the podcast will be a little late this week. With the holiday busy-ness, I need to take a little rest tonight.
Please be patient.
