		<description><![CDATA[Matthew 18:3-7  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

It is a great offense to hurt a child. God says that if any person harms a little child, it would be better for that person if he or she were drowned in the deepest ocean!

It amazes me these days how many times the abuser of a child is held up as a hero and many, including judges, prosecuting attorneys, and others go out of their way to make sure the rights of the abuser are protected! How dare they!

What about the rights of the child that were taken away from the child by the abuser(s)? When abuse happens, many rights are taken away from the abused person. Rights such as freedom to pursue happiness, the right to live unafraid of harm, and many other rights are violated and taken away from the abused child. The child has to live in fear because they are told that no one will believe them that the abuse happened - and most of the time that is true.

We must be alert and be on guard against abusers. Every child should be able to live a happy childhood, unharmed by the world and especially those of their own families. Children have a right to explore and learn and should never have to be locked in closets, hide under beds, and above all never be abused or hurt by anyone.

For the abusers, whether or not they are brought to justice here on earth - they will definitely suffer the consequences of God's wrath when they stand before the LORD on their judgment day. And I must say, I don't have any sympathy for them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matthew 1:18-23  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Thank God for sending us His Son, Jesus Christ. Thank Jesus, for leaving a beautiful wonderful life in heaven to come and live on earth as a man, to be tortured and suffer for our sins, and to take upon him all our sins. Thank Jesus for dying on the cross for us. For giving us grace and mercy, I thank God. For acknowledging us and taking care of us, I thank God.

For He shall save his people from their sins - and He did! He died on that cross - nailing all our sins with him. We are forgiving if we just accept and ask him to include us. The gift of salvation is free to us. It cost Jesus his life! The gift is not yours until you reach out and take it. You have to receive the gift before it becomes yours. Jesus is holding it out to you. Won't you reach out and grab the gift of salvation today?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God gives each of us certain talents to use. He expects us to build up those talents he gives us. When we don't use the talents he provides, they waste away and have disrespected God. Take a look at the story below. Jesus used this as an example to teach the people how important God-given talents are and should be to us.

Matthew 25:14-30  

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, "Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more." 

His lord
