As believers step into 2026, God is calling His people beyond inspirational belief into living, active faith that produces visible change. Faith is not simply agreeing with Scripture; it is aligning one’s life with it. The coming year is an invitation to allow faith to shape decisions, reactions, priorities, and purpose.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY (REVELATION 16:1-21)

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

²And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

DECEMBER 25th WAS A PAGAN SUN-GOD Birthday (PT 25 OF JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT BORN ON CHIRSTMAS)

12/30/2025Uncategorizedchristmas, december 25th, God, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, Jesus Christ, new testament, Old Testament, pagan, sun godabarkley8

Long before December 25th was associated with the birth of Jesus Christ, the date was widely recognized in the ancient world as a celebration connected to pagan sun worship. This historical reality raises serious biblical concerns, especially when Scripture repeatedly warns God’s people not to adopt or repurpose pagan practices in worship. When December 25th is examined through a biblical lens, it becomes clear that its origins do not align with the worship God commands.

EARLY CHRISTIANS NEVER CELEBRATED DECEMBER 25th (PT 24 OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEMBER 25TH)

12/30/2025Uncategorizedchristmas, december 25th, God, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, Hoilday, Jesus Christ, Old Testamentabarkley8

When the New Testament record is examined carefully, there is a striking absence of any command, example, or tradition among early Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25th or on any specific date at all. Scripture reveals that the earliest believers focused on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Christ, not on commemorating His birth through an annual festival. This silence is not accidental; it reflects the priorities and practices of the first-century church.

WINTER MADE OUTDOOR SHEPHERDING IMPOSSIBLE (PT 23 OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEMBER 25TH)

12/30/2025Uncategorizedchristmas, december 25th, God, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, hoildays, Jesus Christ, new testament, Old Testamentabarkley8

The biblical record shows that winter conditions in Judea made outdoor shepherding impractical and often impossible. This reality is significant when examining the timing of Jesus’ birth, because Scripture plainly states that shepherds were living in the fields and keeping watch over their flocks by night at the time of His birth. The conditions described in the nativity account do not align with what the Bible reveals about winter life in the land of Israel.

WINTER WAS a SEASON of DANGER, NOT CELELBRATION (PT 22 OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEBER 25TH)

12/30/2025Uncategorizedchristmas, december, God, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, Hoilday, jesus, Jesus Christ, new testament, Old Testamentabarkley8

In the Bible, winter is consistently portrayed as a season marked by danger, hardship, and limitation rather than celebration or large public gatherings. This understanding is essential when evaluating the timing of Jesus’ birth, because the conditions described in the nativity account do not reflect the realities Scripture associates with winter. The biblical portrayal of winter stands in direct contrast to the joyful, open, and active environment surrounding the birth of Christ.
