The team is spending four evenings caroling outdoors, at the city hall, at a home for the elderly, and at a local orphanage. Hundreds are having the gospel shared with them along with hearing Christmas music.

The Evolution vs. God documentary from Ray Comfort has been released. (Spoiler alert: God wins in a knockout.)
Watching it was like a flashback to my days in high school and college, when my professors also couldn’t answer a plea for some evidence that evolution might have happened, just demanded I believe it. Excellent video. Unfortunately, most atheists and believers in evolution will be afraid to watch it, because they don’t have any evidence to back up their beliefs either.
I also especially liked that this video did not cloud the issue of the gospel with the call to “turn from your sins,” which distorts what the gospel’s call is. Ray Comfort’s materials have often said that phrase, and like “Ask Jesus into your heart,” it is a phrase that keeps people from understanding the gospel. We don’t ask Jesus into our hearts, and we don’t turn from our sins. We trust in Christ and His death in our place on the cross and His resurrection to save us.
A Romanian Christmas Carol recorded at our home in Cluj, Romania on Christmas Eve 2011, with some of our friends from the church. The carol proclaims “I bring you good news–Born is the Savior, the Lord, the Redeemer–Jesus.”

My annual Christmas devotional greeting video looks at what Christmas is really all about (not about charity, love, and kindness, but something that results in those things), and about how to truly have a Merry Christmas.

Doamne, Tu esti bun, si-ndurarea Ta tine in veci
Lord, You are good, and Your mercy endures forever
Doamne, Tu esti drept, si-n dreptatea Ta pacatu-mi ierti
Lord, You are just, but in Your justice, You forgive my sins.
Doamne, Tu esti sfant, tot pamantul e plin de slava Ta
Lord, You are holy, the whole earth is full of Your glory
Aleluia, Aleluia, Aleluia, Aleluia, tot pamantul e plin de slava Ta
Hallelujah…. the whole earth is full of Your glory
