The Macabees inspire me so much. They refused to allow mixture to come into their faith. They gave up earthly possessions to be able to stand for truth. Many around the world are feeling the persecution of being a follower of the Lord, our God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I made a promise to myself this season to not accept a mixture into my faith. My God is very clear that he is jealous and expects us to follow him his way. Only through the study of the scripture can we renew our minds and keep our foot from slipping down a misleading way. In a world of political correctness that allows for "any way you choose" I choose to share the one way of Jesus the Messiah to God the creator who allowed me to enter his family with grace and expects actions of faith. Celebrating the Life of my savior and how he lived, we celebrated the festival of Lights this season!
