Research on the Shroud of Turin and the Blessing of Church Worship

Whether you’re a Christian or not, this year I’m sending you some fascinating evidenced-based information on the Shroud of Turin as my Christmas gift to you. I’ve followed Dr. John Campbell for years. He usually updates his listeners on a variety of health-related topics providing a myriad of evidenced based facts. Recently, he presented some astonishing information on the presumed burial cloth of Jesus.

In 1978 researchers from around the world were allowed to examine the cloth for authenticity. However, new technology has revealed facts that can’t be explained nor denied. After viewing Dr. Campbell’s video, let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Finally, a friend sent me this Letter to the Editor which speaks volumes as we celebrate Christmas. If anyone knows the source, please share it with me.

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.

He wrote: “I’ve gone for 30 years now, and in that time, I have heard something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time. The preachers are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all”.This started a real controversy in the ‘Letters to the Editor’ column.

Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

 “I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.

Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!”

When you are DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something!

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible!

Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment!

IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN ALL, YOU CANNOT SEE GOD AT ALL!

1. B. I. B. L. E. simply means: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth!

When you are about to share this to others, the devil will discourage you.

So go on! Share this to people who are DEAR to you and TRUST GOD.

On a Personal Note:

I couldn’t have said it better. Attending church services is one of the greatest stress busters for me. I’m bathed in His Word through readings, the message and hymns. We meet as strangers and eventually become friends. You won’t find perfect people in any church. We all mess up, but we are forgiven. So please come visit of course over the holidays but do come back. You may feel awkward for a time but that will pass too.

To the church members…when you see a newcomer, please go out of your way to make them feel welcome. That’s your job!

May you all have a 2025 year filled with rich blessings and new friends from church fellowship. From my house to yours, have a very Merry Christmas.

Praise the Lord, all you nations! Worship him, all you peoples! Because God’s faithful love toward us is strong, the Lord’s faithfulness lasts forever! Praise the Lord (Psalm 117: 1-2)!”
