On the Sunday before the world celebrates the birth of our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ, the Solomon Temple family worshipped, adored and

showed appreciation and thanks for God’s gift to mankind – His only

begotten son, Jesus. The Spirit of the Lord was definitely with us

today at The Temple. The praise team led us in song with Jesus, Glory

to the New Born King and I Call You Holy. Yes, Jesus is holy. He

came to bear our sins, save our souls and give us eternal life. How

comforting it is to know that we can rest in Him and He will bring

peace to our lives if we open up our hearts and let Him in. Solomon

Temple’s Men’s Choir continued in the spirit of the Christmas holiday

and gave an outstanding rendition of Silent Night / Merry Christmas.

When I tell you it was recording studio ready – you better believe

it!!!!! The Little Angels of Praise ministered to us with a dance and

reminds us to Let Go and Let God Have His Way!!! The Little Angeles

brought everyone to their feet with their beautiful and inspiring

dance of praise! Pastor Victor S. Brice encourages us and shows us in

the Bible that we are to lift our voices, clap our hands and make a

joyous noise upon hearing and knowing of the Birth of our Savior.

Glory to God in the Highest!!! The saints at Solomon Temple did just

that. We had a shouting good time in honor of The New Born King. Oh!

Oh! Oh! Christ the Savior is Born. Hallelujah! Pastor teaches us

and reminds us to be careful with the commercialization of Christmas.

Don’t get caught up in the hype. Pastor Brice shows us in the Bible

and teaches that there was a lot of movement going on in the days

leading up to the birth of Christ. So much so, that there was no room

in any of the inns. Baby Jesus was born in a manger – off on the

fringes of society.

Dear hearts, let’s not push Jesus in the fringes of this season for

Jesus IS the reason for the season. Let us be careful and not let the

movement of OUR times – the crowded malls, the crowded freeways, the

spending of money – allow us to miss the message of Christmas – Jesus’

Birth – God’s gift to us all. His birth brings with it the promise of

eternal life. Jesus brings joy and peace to a sin sick world.

Christmas isn’t about exchanging gifts, but receiving the gift of

Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, Pastor Victor S. Brice delivered a

portion of peace to many saints at the Temple today. What an awesome

sight to behold!!!! The Holy Spirit directed Pastor to several

unsuspecting families and individuals and gifted them with cash gifts

in various amounts. It brought many of them to tears. You could see

peace and relief wash over them. What a powerful service of giving!

A rarity at most churches, but the norm at The Temple. There is peace

in giving. The sweet Holy Spirit was with us throughout the service

and touched 4 saints to seek the peace of having Christ as their Lord.

I love it when the Spirit adds new souls to the Kingdom. Glory to God

in the Highest!!! May God continue to bless you throughout this

holiday season.
