Purification

“ Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.’’ February is a month associated with purification. The Roman god Februus was the god of purification, and many festivals and rituals were held in his honor, most notably the Februalia, a month-long festival of atonement and purification that was held in Winter, but intended to be a type of Spring cleaning that would herald in the Spring season and its gift of fertility.

GOOD NEWS

By John Stenen A young refugee from Hitler’s Europe heard so many wonderful and almost unbelievable stories of life in America, that his family thought they knew the country well. He never saw America but he loved this nation with all its freedoms and opportunities. His mother said to him as he was leaving for America, “You are going home, I am staying in a foreign land.” When you stop to think of all the tyranny and oppression in our world today, the Christian will one day escape to a much better home. We can say when we lose a Christian loved one or close friend, “You are going home, and I am staying in a foreign land.” Remember, we Christians are citizens of heaven; we are pilgrims just passing through this life onto a much better life with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and all the holy angels of God, plus all our saved loved ones. Blessed eternity, full of righteousness, peace and joy. No more sickness or disease, no more crime and violence, no more aging. Won’t you come with us? It’s really going to happen. Why go to hell with a crowd you will most likely be very unhappy and miserable with. Jesus invites you to spend eternity with Him. “In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy, and at His right hand there is pleasure forever more.” (Psalm 16:11). God bless.
