A Christmas message based on the account of author Henry Williamson of the Christmas Truce on the Ypres salient in 1914. Williamson's account, published in the London Daily Express in 1937, reminds us that even during that deadly and bitter conflict, we are all God's children. Pray that we remember that fact in the midst of our modern day divisions.

Keep, we implore You, O Lord, Your Church with Your perpetual mercy; and because the frailty of mankind without You cannot but fall, keep us ever by Your help from all things hurtful and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord who lives and reign with You and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Pastor Bennett often speaks of the importance of context in considering verses from Scripture. In his preparation for this week's sermon, Pastor realizes that he had never considered the broader context of this week's text from the Gospel of Mark where Jesus heals a man who is deaf and mute.

Prayer of the Week

Almighty and merciful God, whose gift it is that Your faithful possess all things pertaining to faith and life, we implore You that we may so faithfully cling to Your promises in this life that we fail not finally to attain to Your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Clinging to God and Guns

The author of today's article is beating his guns into garden tools to show nonviolent love toward his neighbors and doesn't understand why the majority of Christians are wrong on the subject of gun ownership. "As anyone who is committed to Christian nonviolence will tell you, it’s not just a belief. It’s not just a way of looking at the world. It’s all that, but so much more. It’s a call to action. Being an imitator of our nonviolent Savior requires action because Christ acted." Lloyd and Pastor Bennett analyze his conclusions.

Prayer of the Week

Almighty and everlasting God, who are always more ready to hear than we to pray and give more than we either desire or deserve, pour down upon us the abundance of Your mercy, forgiving those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things that we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Christ, our Lord; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Clinging to God and Guns

For the first three years of Clinging to God & Guns we spent most of our time debunking sermons and articles and speeches of Leftist Christians who try to push gun control using scripture. We don’t do that as much anymore because, quite frankly, it got boring. Every article since the shooting in Las Vegas shooting has been nothing but politics and almost no attempt to justify their argument using God’s word. And then, lo and behold, the Presbyterian Church USA ordains a woman to serve as the first "Minister of Gun Violence Prevention." We couldn't pass up taking a swing at this one.
