Merry Christmas! My Christmas Poem
He made himself nothing.
Merry Christmas!
He became a servant.
Merry Christmas!
He was made like us humans.
Merry Christmas!
What is Christmas about? Nothing.
Merry Christmas!
Almighty God, How was he found? As a Servant.
Merry Christmas!
We were looking for God, but he found us.
Merry Christmas!

humility consider others better than yourselves.
-James 4:6 God opposes the proud but
gives grace to the humble.
-Rom 12:16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be
willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be
conceited.
3. Greed.
-I Tim 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some
people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves
with many griefs.

with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in
the abundance of his possessions.”

-Josh 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not
be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord
your God will be with you wherever you go.”
-Isa 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
-I John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them,
because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
-Matt 6:25 “Therefore
I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about
your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the
body more important than clothes?

6. Anger.
-Ps 37:8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.

God desires.

-James, Jesus' baby brother, called "Love your neighbor as yourself" the Royal Law. James 2:8
-If I wan to be rewared by the King of Kings I must follow his roayl law.
-Do the groups I associate with, social, political, community, church, etc help me keep the Royal Law?
-If not I better distance myself from those groups.
2. How can I love my
neighbor as myself?
-Neighbor means "close by"
-What tangible ways can I love those close by
-Meet their needs for encouragement, for physically care, and for love as much as I meet my own
-I must love my neighbor as much as I love myself.
3. Who is my neighbor?
Who is my enemy? How can I treat my
enemy like my neighbor?
-The test for love of God is love of neighbor
-The test for love of neighbor is love of enemy
-John says in I John 4:20 If I say I love God but hate my brother I am a liar
-The best way to love your enemy is by praying for them, by not being vengeful, and if their is an opportunity to good, then do do it.
-James 2:8 tells us if we love our neighbor as yourself we are doing right.
-Did I love my family, friends, neighbors, Obamaians, Romneyians, Muslims, Atheists, sinners of every shape and form today? If I did, well I am doing right.
