Name above all names
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Php 2:9-11)

Jokes?
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, "Okay, Mrs. Jones, what's the problem?"
The mother says, "It's my daughter, Debbie. She keeps getting these cravings, she's putting on weight, and is sick most mornings."
The doctor gives Debbie a good examination, then turns to the mother and says, "Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but your Debbie is pregnant - about 4 months, would be my guess."
The mother says, "Pregnant?! She can't be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Debbie?"
Debbie says, "No mother! I've never even kissed a man!"
The doctor walked over to the window and just stares out it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says,
"Is there something wrong out there doctor?"
The doctor replies, "No, not really, it's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I'll be darned if I'm going to miss it this time!"
---------------------
You do know what would have happened if it had been three wise WOMEN instead of men, don't you? They would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought disposable diapers as gifts!

Black and White: Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"
"Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life."
The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"
--------------
True love: If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.
If it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff,
eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money,
and never behaves as if you actually set it free in the first place,
you either married it or gave birth to it!

| There is a scarlet thread running from the book of Genesis to Malachi telling of a coming Saviour who would deliver His people from their sins. His name is Jesus Christ. From the time of his birth to His ascension into heaven (as recorded in the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), we see the fulfillment of these Old Testament prophecies. From the book of Acts to Revelation, we continue to see the name of Jesus with all of His glorious attributes beautifully interwoven into the passages of Scripture. From all 66 books of the Bible (39 from the Old Testament and 27 from the New Testament), we can clearly see what the apostle John recorded in Revelation 4:8: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty which was, and is, and is to come. That's right, Jesus was in the beginning (John 1:1), lived on earth (Matthew - John), and is coming back for His Bride and to take vengeance upon the earth (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 19:11-15). Jesus Christ is truly the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8).
