Mr.Bilson: Christmas

Christmas

"Christmas has really become a hopeless muddle of confusion. The humility and the poverty of the stable are somehow confused with the wealth of indulgence and selfishness of gift giving. The quiteness of Bethelehem is mingled with the din of shopping malls and freeway traffic. The soberness of Incarnation is somehow mixed with the drunkeness of this season."

- John MacArthur, The Incarnation of the Triune God

PMC Christmas Drama!

"One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

2He said to them, "When you pray, say:
" 'Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3Give us each day our daily bread.
4Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.' "

5Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

7"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

(Luke 11:1-10)

Hello Dear Friends,

We are in the creative process of putting together another drama for PMC's Christmas Event. We decided to outsource this time and taken a little draft of a script from a wonderful saint. It is the first time we are doing it like this. We need allot of prayer. Can you pray for us? Here is our list!

That the message of Christ will bear real, lasting fruit.
Pray against fleshly impulses (outbursts of anger and dissensions are a couple of them...)
Pray against fear and being nervous!
Pray against deception, lies and communication barriers.
Pray for patience and protection in spirit and health of the laborers.
Pray for quality props (We have bigger ideas this time that really need God!)
Pray that process will bring people together.

Thanks for everything!

Mr. Bilson

Mr. Bilson fancies God and His Word, live music, film and humor. Mr. Bilson is a mindless mystery. A consciousness contained in flesh and wrapped in skin. A phenomenon. An enigma. He is created in the image of God. A thrill seeker, wanderer, contemplator. Mr. Bilson loves to travel and expand his mind and seeks to understand and reflect a deeper love for God. He cannot be tamed or controlled. Yet God tempers him with His unconditional love. Mr. Bilson refuses to exist but prefers to live the abundant life promised by Jesus. He is passionate. He can be sensitive and an emotional cess pool. He enjoys being loved by others and enjoys loving others. He is learning, growing, producing, understanding, reading, writing, filming, running, walking, sleeping, sitting, shaving, showing, telling, caring, going, reflecting, coming, getting, giving, gaining, focusing, picturing, visioning and even separating. Come into his world and see existence through different eyes. It will be daring!
