Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Kay bisan kinsa kadto nga makakaplag kanako makakaplag ug kinabuhi, Ug makabaton sa kalooy kang Jehova.

Proverbs 8:35

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

If a nation passed a law that said no one could live there except those who were born in that nation, and someone wanted to live there who was not born there.

· It wouldn’t matter if he took a name that was common in that nation.

· It wouldn’t matter if he spoke the language.

· It wouldn’t matter if he observed some of the customs.

· It wouldn’t matter if he dressed like those in that nation.

· It wouldn’t matter if he practiced some of the religious traditions of that nation.

· It wouldn’t matter if his parents were born in that nation.

· It wouldn’t matter if his children were born there.

· It wouldn’t matter if he had many friends in that nation.

· All that would matter was if he was actually born there.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Psalms 100:2

God always answers our but doesn't always give us the answer we want. Sometimes He says yes and answers right away. At other times He may answer no because He has something better for us. We must trust that He knows best and has a perfect plan for our lives. Sometimes God tells us to wait. He taches us to have patience and wait for His perfect timing. I don't know what you are facing but you can call on God and He will answer. He will do great things that you aren't expecting.

We don't know the date when Jesus was born but this is the time we set aside to celebrate His birth. Christmas is not about presents, parties, of gathering with family. It is a time to remember that God became man and came to be the Savior of the world. The baby in the manger grew up and became a man and died on the cross for our sins. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior today is the day of salvation(2 Corinthians 6:2). As you celebrate Christmas remember what it is all about.

WHO WAS REALLY BORN ON DECEMBER 25?

When Ni**od, the founder of Babylon, died, Semiramis told the people that her husband's spirit had taken possession of the sun. She encouraged the people to pay homage to her husband by worshipping the sun. Thus began the evil practice of sun worship. Later on when Semiramis gave birth to a son by the name of Tammuz, she hid her licentious form of living by lying to the people. She told them that she was miraculously overshadowed by the spirit of her dead husband, Ni**od, and it was in this way she was able to bring forth this so-called "son of god."

Semiramis also declared that her son, Tammuz, was in actuality the return or rebirth of her husband, Ni**od. Hence through this teaching the doctrine of reincarnation was born. And since Tammuz was born on December 25, this day was highly honored and recognized by Ni**od's supporters. Note, therefore, that this date (December 25) was observed in honor of the birth of Tammuz long before Christianity existed, and that it was not until many centuries later this pagan custom was "Christianized" as being the birthday of Christ (or Christmas day).

The similarity between some of the ancient pagan beliefs and the truth is notable. Those who existed after the Flood knew the true prophecies of God very well because the Creator had made His plans known unto all the descendants of Adam and Eve. Therefore, it was not difficult for Satan to counterfeit the truth with erroneous applications. The notable writer Alexander Hislop tells us:

"If there was one who was more deeply concerned in the tragic death of Ni**od than another, it was his wife Semiramis, who, from an originally humble position, had been raised to share with him the throne of Babylon. . . In life her husband had been honored as a hero; in death she will have him worshipped as a god, yea, as the woman's promised seed, 'Zero-ashta,' who was destined to bruise the serpent's head, and who, in doing so, was to have his own heel bruised." The Two Babylons, p. 58-59.

Of course, because of the deifying of her husband, it was not long before Ni**od's followers began to also worship Semiramis. And her son Tammuz (Zero-ashta) was worshipped as well. More and more Semiramis was revered by the people and was viewed by many as a priestess and goddess. Later on she also became known as "the queen of heaven." Thus began the awful practice of exalting human deities. These false beliefs have led up to the many different forms of idolatry that are still practiced by different people today. Yes, it was through the introduction of these satanic evils and the many sacrilegious practices of ancient Babylon that witchcraft, priestcraft, spiritualism, and other forms of paganism were born. Says the well-known author Ellen G. White:

"The doctrine of man's consciousness in death, especially the belief that spirits of the dead return to minister to the living, has prepared the way for modern spiritualism." The Great Controversy, p. 551.
