"Our power and ability and sufficiency are from God." 2Co 3:5 AMPC
DON'T GIVE PLACE TO PRIDE
Before his 1971 fight with Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali said: "There's not a man alive who can whup me. [He jabbed at the air with his blinding left.] I'm too smart. [He tapped his head with his glove.) I'm too pretty. [He showed the cameras his profile, like a bust on a pedestal.) I am the greatest! I am the king ! I should be a postage stamp-that's the only way I'll ever get licked!" Guess what happened in that fight? To the amazement of all, especially himself, Ali lost to Frazier. When confidence in your own ability and resources becomes pride, and then becomes arrogance, you·re headed for trouble. The Bible says, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Pr 16:18 NKJV). So, how do you find balance? By remembering that every gift, ability, talent, and resource that you have comes from God. Confidence is essential to success. There is nothing wrong with recognizing the gifts God has given you. But the difference between self-confidence and Christ confidence is found in who gets the credit. A good way to keep this thought in the forefront of your life is to practice the art of thanksgiving each day. It's hard to be too self-confident when you acknowledge that you are nothing without God's grace, which is His unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor. The Bible says: "All of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.' Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time" (1 Pe 5:5-6 NKJV)

"I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless." Ecc 1:14 NIV
ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR MEANING?
Are you thinking that If you had more money or greater success, you would be happy? Tennis star Boris Becker said: "I had won Wimbledon twice before, once as the youngest player. I was rich. I had all the material possessions I needed... It's the old song of movie stars and pop stars who commit suicide. They have everything, and yet they are so unhappy. I had no inner peace." Solomon made the same discovery. "I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Solomon tried religion, education, money, public works projects, fame,
creative writing, and sensual pleasure: "I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight In all my labor... Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless" (Ecc 2:10-11 NIV). Finally, in the last chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon finds What he is looking for: "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind" (Ecc 12:13 NIV). Solomon discovered that life is not built on things but on relationships. And the first and foremost relationship you must have is a relationship with God. You say, "How do I find God?" Through Christ! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (Jn 14:6 NKJV). Today, you can have a life-changing relationship with God by putting your trust in Jesus Christ.

Dear CHRI Listener,
When we were kids, my dad would leave the porch light on until we found our way home and only turned it off when we were safe in our beds.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:5
But, what do you do when you find yourself in total darkness? When there’s no light?! For two millennia, Jesus has continued to be the light, and every Christmas it shines brightly. We’re blessed to see it reflected in the faces of children, and it continues to glow in our hearts throughout the year. CHRI, your radio station, has kept that light burning in your community for 27 years, yet sadly there are still many people living in darkness. This Christmas, please support CHRI with your prayers and if you’re already a donor, thank you, but if not, please consider donating your best gift to CHRI and help keep this light of Christ shining brightly over the vast areas where CHRI can be seen and heard. Your gift will ensure that someone will see the light this Christmas.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”. Matthew 5:16
