Our Greatest Need, and Christmas, 12-25-11 Commentary

Listen to the audio of the commentary


A Merry Christmas to you and yours. Here is something Max Lucade read on his radio program the other day.
If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator.
If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.
If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer.
But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.
It isn’t Christmas until it happens in your heart. So take Jesus today and then it really will be Christmas for you.

Please have a blessed Christmas.

Until Next Time ,

No Christmas Boycott, 11-30-11 Commentary

(Listen to the Commentary)

I don’t expect people who don’t know me to wish me a Happy Birthday on
My birthday.
The American Family Association and Liberty Counsel have come out with their “Naughty and Nice” lists. On the Naughty list they give the names of the companys who don’t recognize Christmas in their advertising. The Purpose of the lists is for people of faith not to spend their money at the places on the Naughty list. However I have a
Different idea why don’t we go to places who are anti Christmas and in a nice respectful way show them the Christ Of Christmas.

Do you think we should expect those who don’t know the Lord to honor his birth?

What do you think.

This month we celebrate Thanksgiving. I thought today I would tell you some of what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for a God who loves me in spite of my short comings.

Halloween 10-31-11 Commentary

( MP3 )

Tonight is Halloween. Kids all over America will be dressing up. Followers of Jesus have different views on this holiday. I think it might be a great night to meet your neighbors by taking the kids in your neighborhood to a church harvest party, or passing out some Christian tracks with the candy you give out however not everyone agrees with me. One thing all followers of Jesus should agree with we are in a spiritual fight with the devil.

These are the reasons I believe in a real devil... The Bible says there is one, How does one explain evil, and just look at what is taking place in the news. How can there not be a devil but Jesus is greater than he. What do you think.

July 4, 2011: Happy Birthday America!

Happy Birthday America! Today is our nations’s birthday.

I know many of you will have cook outs, or family get togethers . Both of which are cool to do but lets not forget what this day is about. Too often today we forget what our nation is all about..

We hear from some in the media and even some leaders say that America is no longer unique. The truth is we are very unique. Yes we have problems but you are free to voice your views here in America.

We are also free to worship or not worship God.

Most of all I hope you have spiritual freedom which you can have through Jesus Christ. You see if you don’t have Jesus in your soul you aren’t really free.

What do you think. Until Next Time I’m Billy David Dickson

No to Christmas Shopping by Chuck Colson

I just saw Chuck Colson say he isn't buying any Christmas gifts for his children or grandchildren. He is saying no to the Christmas shopping. While not all of us may not do what the Colson family is doing we need to look again at what Christmas is about. Do take time and watch the video Chuck Colson did.

What If It Is True

What If It's True? By Cal Thomas

Posted by Billy on Saturday, December 25, 2010 9:08:13 PM

Suppose what some call the "Christmas story" is true -- all of it, from the angels, to the shepherds, to the virgin birth, to God taking on human flesh. By this, I don't mean to suggest it is true only for those who believe it to be true, but what if it is objectively true, no matter what the deniers say? What difference would it make? Should it make any difference?

The narrative and the quotations written by the physician named Luke and by John, the closest disciple of Jesus of Nazareth, are unique and exclusive. The genealogical line of Jesus compiled by Matthew the tax collector is impressive and compelling. The words spoken by Jesus and recorded by these men are phenomenal. They expose the inner darkness of Man, offering a roadmap out, while also revealing the light of God, offering directions into His presence.

The information provided by witnesses to these events are either true, or not. The claims leave no room for middle ground, despite what some "theologians" claim. If they are not true, one must conclude "the greatest story ever told" was the result of the greatest conspiracy in history from which not a single "conspirator" later recanted. The One who spoke such heartwarming words, as C.S. Lewis has noted, was either a liar, a fool, or he told the truth. There are no other options.

(Billy's Thoughts>>> The above is part of a column Cal Thomas wrote. I would encourage you to take time to read the whole column this Christmas Season.What If It's True?
