We Celebrate Christ's Birth Because He Lives
Because He Lives by the Gaither Trio 1972
In the early 1970's, Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a song entitled, "Because He Lives." The couple was going through a tumultuous time in their lives. Gloria just had their third child. Bill was suffering from mononucleosis and Gloria was overwhelmed with all the social unrest that was taking place in our society. America's educational system was promulgating the "God is dead" movement. There were all sorts of protests that were transpiring in America. There was major demonstrations taking place against America's involvement in the Vietnam War. One evening, she felt the peace and assurance from God that everything was going to be fine. It will be fine because He lives and sits on the throne on high. Out of that experience, a song was born and it's been an inspiration since that time.
When you think of the verses that comprise the song, our whole reason we live and do the things we do is simply because He lives. The reason why we have the church, the reason why the church is engaged in outreach to the community is simply "because He lives." If Jesus' corpse was still in the tomb, then we would be the most miserable of people. (I Corinthians 15:19)
Tomorrow we'll officially be celebrating the birth of Christ. He came into this world over 2000 years ago to be born of a virgin that we might experience the eternal life he has for us. However, Christ's birth into this world wouldn't be much different than the birth of any historical person with the exception that Christ lived a sinless life (I John 3:5). Nevertheless, when we celebrate Christ's birth on Christmas day, we aren't just celebrating the birth of some historical person that lived and walked on earth and one day died upon an old rugged cross. There's more to it. Jesus remained the the grave three days and three nights and then he arose from the grave. He's alive and sitteth at the right hand of the Father (I Peter 3:22). Because Jesus arose from the grave, we have hope of eternal life. Because he arose from the grave, He lives today. HE's alive forevermore. Death and hell have been conquered. We have victory in this life because of the sacrifice he paid on Calvary along with His resurrection. He lives today. Because of that, we can enjoy the Christmas season in remembrance of the fact that God sent his son into this old sinful world to be born of a virgin and had to be placed in a stable because there was no room for him in the inn. The wise men came to worship the king. The angels were rejoicing. What a time that was. I know there's nothing in the Bible that compels us to celebrate the birth of Christ, but if there wasn't a birth, there would've been no death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas.

Birthday of a King
Birthday of a King
The famous Christmas hymn, "Birthday of a King" was written and composed by William Harold Neidlinger (1863-1924). He was a composer, conductor, and organist at St. Michael's Church in New York City, NY. His main calling in life was working with retarded children, those who were physically handicapped children. During the turn of the century, he founded a school in East Orange, New Jersey for the purpose of working with children lacking motor skills--especially speech and vocal disabilities.

The First Noel
The First Noel
Where does "Noel" come from? Some scholars claim that Noel is "French" and means "a shout of joy" at the birth of Jesus. Others claim it comes from the Medieval Latin word "Natalis" which means birth, which is why some would refer to Christmas as "His natal day." There is another Latin word "novella", which could be the source of "noel" which means "news" which corresponds with the idea of Jesus' birth which causes shouts of great joy because of His birth at Christmas. Other scholars say that the original English spelling is "nowell" instead of the French word "noel."
An example of this changing over the centuries is the English people took the parting phrase they gave each other, "Fare thee well," and made it into one word, "Farewell." They also took the phrase "God be with you," and shortened it into "goodbye." Similarly, if the word "nowell" was first a phrase rather than a word, then maybe it was something like "Now all is well!" The early English greeted each other every Christmas morning by shouting "Now all is well;" because God has provided his son as a light for the world!" Eventually, "Now all is well" became simply "Now well," and was later "Nowell."
"The First Noel" has been a popular carol for almost 30 years, and is about the oldest common carol in the English language. It's known for its simplicity and sincerity. After traveling through word of mouth for many years, "The First Noel" was finally written down with the tune correct, and printed for the first time in a collection of Christmas carols published in 1833.
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
They look up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. Refrain.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. Refrain
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took it rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Refrain
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made Heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought. Refarin

(About.com) "Little Drummer Boy" was originally entitled "Carol of the drums" because of the repeating line Pa rum pum pum pum which imitates the sound of a drum.
The song "Little Drummer Boy" was believed to be written by Katherine K. Davis in 1941 based on an old czech carol. Other names credited for this song are Henry Onarati and Harry Simeone. A claymation version based on this song was produced by Rankin-Bass for television in 1968 with the voice of Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson narrating.

We Can Celebrate Christmas Because He lives
Story Behind the Song Because He Lives
Because He Lives--The Gaither Trio1972
Years ago both Bill and Gloria will going through a tumultuous time in their lives in the late 1960's. Both were English teachers who had majored in English and had taught high school for several years until 1967--when they both went into the singing ministry together. Gloria Gaither was typically the writer to lyrics of the song while Bill set the lyrics to music.
During the late 1960's their third child was born. Bill was struck with a case of mononucleosis. It was a time of anguish and despair for Gloria. Also, the 1960's was a tumultuous time with the rise of the hippie movement and the "God is Dead" movement. Gloria was wondering why would anyone desire to bring a child into this crazy world? Then she noted that a peace from the Holy Spirit calmed her fears and she realized that you don't bring children into this world because it's stable. You bring a child into the world regardless how the social atmosphere is in our nation and the world. The reason why you bring children into this world is "Because He Lives."
In a few weeks we'll be celebrating Christmas. Many in Christendom will be celebrating the birth of Christ, which is what Christmas is all about. It's about the time when Jesus was born into this world through the Virgin Mary, who knew no man. She was impregnated by the Holy Ghost. The Wise Men came to seek him to worship him. They presented him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Then an angel of the Lord told Joseph to take his family and flee into Egypt because Herod had sought to kill baby Jesus.
Christmas is the time of year when we celebrate the birth of Christ. But if the only thing significant during the Christmas season is Jesus' birth, then his birth wouldn't have been any more significant than any other historical figure if it all ended with Jesus being born on earth. On the other hand, if all we could say was that Jesus lived on this earth a sinless life, died upon the cross, and that was the end, then that wouldn't had much significance to it. However, the very fact that Jesus not only died on the cross, but rose again from the grave and is seated on the right hand of the Father, (Hebrews 8:2) signifies that He is alive and lives forevermore. It's because He's alive today is the reason why we celebrate Christmas. Christmas is not just about Christ's birth. It's about a child that's born that will one day die on an old rugged cross and will rise from the grave. He's seated at the right hand of the father and we have power through Christ. Christmas and Easter wouldn't be any different than any of the other days set aside to celebrate the life of a particular person that once lived on earth. But Jesus rose again and conquered hell and the grave. As a result of that, HE's alive. And because he lives, we celebrate Christmas, looking forward to day when he would make that sacrifice on Calvary's cross for the sins of mankind. Because He Lives, we have the opportunity for life which happens through the new birth. Because He Lives, we can live a victorious life upon this earth as a Christian. Because He Lives, we have a home in Heaven when he raptures the saints out of this world. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18) Life is worth a living just because He Lives.
God Sent His Son, They Called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive
He lived to die and buy my pardon
An Empty Grave is There to Prove My Saviour Lives

'Tis the Season
The Bells of Christmas are Ringing--Julie Andrews
Every year during the outset of Christmas season, I always feature the YouTube video of Julie Andrews singing "The Bells of Christmas are Ringing." I feel that's the perfect way to begin the Christmas season, which typically begins the day after Thanksgiving, esp. with the Black Friday shopping that takes place. I conjured the idea of starting the Christmas season off with Julie Andrews singing, "The Bells of Christmas are Ringing" several years ago when I used to listen to the late Edith L. Bennett perform her Christmas programs specials on WOMI AM radio 1490. She worked for WOMI Radio from November 1950 until her death on April 12, 2013. She had a Sunday morning radio program for 3.5 hours and then on Christmas eve and Christmas day she would air her Christmas program which would feature all kinds of Christmas music from various artists and musicians. Every year on WOMi when the Christmas season would begin, she would start it with Julie Andrews singing "The Bells of Christmas are Ringing." I decided to use that song as a trademark when beginning the Christmas season on this blog.
This year I'm planning on posting several Christmas musicals from YouTube. I also plan on writing about the doctrine of the Virgin Birth as well. There's a Christmas thought I'm thinking about writing using the song the Gaither's wrote years ago, "Because He Lives." I will also write about the different Christmas traditions that have been practiced for years around the world. I'm also contemplating writing about the different customs that different customs use in celebrating Christmas. How is Christmas celebrated in Australia or Mexico, for example. I will probably include a few news pieces revolving around Christmas as well. I featured on piece of Christmas news on this past Wednesday's post. You will also be seeing pieces of George F. Handel's Messiah musical. I'm looking forward to another great Christmas this year.

Background Behind Joy to the World
Background Behind Joy to the World
Joy to the World--Bill & Gloria Gaither
Isaac Watts, the "Father of English Hymnody" penned the famous Christmas carol, "Joy to the World." He had never intended for this to be a Christmas carol at all. It was part of his "Psalms of David Imitated", published in 1719, which contained paraphrases of many of the Psalms in New Testament Language. It is the imitation of the last half of Psalm 98. It is a great hymn. When you listen to the first verse of the song, it's noticeable when it mentions that "The Lord is Come" it's not speaking of the first time when Jesus came to the world when he was born in Bethlehem. It's referring to Christ's second coming that is yet to come. What a day that will be when the Lord does come again to this world.

Happy Father's Day!
Sunday is Father's Day
WHAT MAKES A DAD
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it...Dad

Each Step You Take
Could That be a Gospel Song?
Is That the Lights of Home?
Mercy
I Have Hope
Constantly Aware of His Love
What Can I Offer

He Cared That Much For Me

The Holy Hills of Heaven Call Me
