Holiday Devotionals

A little history, some personal experience and observations in light of Scripture as it relates to April Fool's Day. Also Reference: Colossians 4:5 https://bbfohio.com

Have you ever noticed "May Day" on the calendar each May 1st? We discuss the background(s) of this occasion and a Biblical perspective on it all. https://bbfohio.com

Prayer is good ONLY when it is a repentant believer in Jesus Christ praying to God the Father in Jesus' name. All ecumenical prayer gatherings are SIN. We must pray to the true God on His terms... Also Reference: John 8:29 https://bbfohio.com

We will protest the Protestant (and Catholic, Orthodox, mainstream Evangelical and even majority Fundamentalist) practice of annual "Good Friday" and "Easter". These FABLES distort the true, historical resurrection of Jesus! https://bbfohio.com

Most modern Jews celebrate Passover the day after the actual day of Passover and don't even kill or serve lamb. But the worst part is that they've missed the whole point which is the Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ of Israel. Also Reference: John 1:35-36, John 20:31 https://bbfohio.com

Earth Day takes place every April 22nd. We discuss why this preacher does not endorse or participate and what we OUGHT to do instead... Also Reference: 2 Corinthians 6:17-18, Romans 1:25 https://bbfohio.com

What is Lent? And why doesn't Bible Believers Fellowship participate or promote the practice of Lent? https://bbfohio.com

We discuss Ash Wednesday. Why we do not participate and why we do not shun, ban or separate from believers who do participate. Once again, the Bible believer sees the devil in the extremes and our response is centered upon Biblical truth. Also Reference: Matthew 6:5, Matthew 23:3-5, Leviticus 19:28, Ezekiel 9:4, Revelation 7:3, Revelation 9:4, Revelation 13:16, Romans 14:5 https://bbfohio.com

The history behind Ground Hog Day and the Biblical warning against taking such superstitions seriously... Did you know the origins of Ground Hog Day are connected with a Catholic feast called Candlemas? https://bbfohio.com

Bible believers who take the statement of Galatians 3:28 seriously and obey it are Color-blind Christians. We don't celebrate Race. We preach the Gospel and rejoice in saved souls of all races or types of ethnicities, nations of origin, etc. Therefore, Black History Month, like any other race-baced initiative, is not something we have any interest in supporting. Also Reference: Acts 2:10 https://bbfohio.com

To praise Martin Luther King Jr. is to praise the wicked. We will discuss why we say this and consider our appropriate response to "MLK Day" in light of this Proverb. https://bbfohio.com

Is A New Year or the New Year's Day really a big deal? While not condemning those who enjoy a decent New Year's Eve gathering and countdown, we do reject the worldly (and downright Antichrist) events held by most and televised on most TV networks who have such "live events" on their stations. https://bbfohio.com

What would it be like if people made worthwhile resolutions and were FAITHFUL to keep those resolutions? Resolutions that were in obedience to God's word and which would please and glorify Him? Such has become a very rare thing in these last days... https://bbfohio.com

Observing or Celebrating Christmas is meaningless if you've missed the whole POINT! The only "Merry Christmas" is one experienced by the saved sinner who knows Jesus personally as Lord and Saviour... https://bbfohio.com

Winter Solstice is an amazing astronomical event that annually marks the beginning of the winter season. It serves as a testimony of God's creation and the redemption plan written on the canvass of nature for all sinners to see! Also Reference: Romans 5:12, Romans 1:20 https://bbfohio.com

We have discussed the origin of Hanukkah previously (See devotional # 22 in the Holiday Devotional playlist). But with that background, we discuss WHY Hanukkah in 2023 will hold special meaning. https://bbfohio.com

We look at the reality of all human beings except Jesus of Nazareth being conceived in sin and how that does NOT mean King David is a bastard but DOES mean that Mary was born in sin like the rest of us and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is bogus. Also Reference: Acts 17:11, Ruth 4:17, Ruth 4:22, 1 Chronicles 2:12-15, Matthew 1, Luke 3, Luke 3:26 https://bbfohio.com

Thankful? For what? Who do you thank? We will discuss the cultural reality compared with the Biblical response that Christians ought to demonstrate on Thanksgiving Day and every day of the year. Also Reference: 1 Corinthians 10:20, Hebrews 13:15, Psalms 54:6 https://bbfohio.com

Each year on November 22nd as a small group of scoffers mock and blaspheme with disgust at the ministry of Chick Tracts, we honour Jack Chick and all who have helped get ONE BILLION Gospel tracts into the hands of lost sinners around the globe! https://bbfohio.com

We expand upon our previous comments on Luke 3:14 and discuss the fact that there is NO apostrophe in "Veterans Day" and the fact that TWICE in one verse, God calls government servants (whether police or military) "ministers of God". Also Reference: Romans 13:7 https://bbfohio.com

We answer the question asked by a growing number of Christians in the face of stolen elections and widespread corruption: Why Bother Voting? 2 Thessalonians 3:11-13, Galatians 6:9, Romans 2:6-11 https://bbfohio.com

From out text, we spring into a discussion of demonstrating our love for lost souls with deeds accompanied by truth. What better way than to give candy with Gospel tracts on Trick-or-Treat night? https://bbfohio.com

October 24th is the annual "United Nations Day". We discuss the Antichrist nature of the U.N. organization with special mention of the late President Harry S. Truman and his unbiblical and misguided notions about world government and world peace. Also Reference: Revelation 19 https://bbfohio.com

Is the # 13 bad luck? We don't believe in blind luck and the number 13 has no inherent powers to begin with. We discuss the negative connotations of the number 13 in Scripture as opposed to any sort of power as believed by the superstitious. Also Reference: Joshua 18:16, Jeremiah 32:35, 1 Kings 7:1, Numbers 29:13, Ezekiel 40:11, Proverbs 23:17 https://bbfohio.com

This preacher found a good thing and obtained favour of the Lord and every October 10th is the anniversary of the day my Jenny said, "Yes." It was at 10:10 AM on 10/10 of 2005. https://bbfohio.com
