DON’T WAIT FOR THE NEW YEAR
By Rev. Dean Beaty 12/9/08
Do not wait for New Year’s night.
Resolve right now to do what’s right.
Your heart agrees that sin is wrong,
And yet you’ve put it off so long.
Though you have tried and failed before.
Before the Lord resolve once more.
Trust in the Lord, who lives within,
To give you vict’ry over sin.

New Hope for Parapalegics

It is a constantly humiliating experience to be confined to a wheel chair all the time. Because of the number of people in Israel confined this way, a small high tech company has come up with a suit that allows a parapalegic to walk upright and look at people at eye level not just looking up to them. This is an enormous boost in morale for a person who has lost the ability to walk. According to Radi Kalof, who has been in a wheel chair for 20 years, there is no way to express the joy of joining the normal walking public down the streets of Tel Aviv. The inventor of the “REWALK” (as the device is called) Amit Goffer, was paralysed in 1997, and since he does not have use of his arms, he cannot use his own invention. However, his satisfaction comes from knowing that he is liberating others from wheel chair confinement. The invention is controlled by a special computer placed in a back pack and controlled by a small remote wrist band which is set for different actions of the user. Sit, stand, walk and climb stairs are among the controlling settings that the walker uses when he leans forward to set himself in motion.

WHAT'S NEW ABOUT CHRISTMAS??

It is a huge task to convince Christians that Yeshua (Jesus) was not born on December 25th when we traditionally celebrate His birth. Some others even feel that information to be inconsequential.
Let's go back a bit. Since the Lord always does His big things at Biblical Feast times (Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets, Tabernacles) it should not surprise us that Yeshua was conceived during Hanukkah (Feast of Lights or often called Feast of Dedication) The angel Gavriel (Gabriel) appeared to Miriam (Mary) and announced to her that she would bear a son, and that His Name would be Yeshua. It is more than marvellous that at the darkest time of the year, the Light of the World would be conceived!! Mary burst forth with an exultant song in reply to the angel – many call it the “Magnificat” - and its text is reputed to be a quote from the Hanukkah liturgy of that time! Nine months later, Yeshua was born – not in a manger as traditionally taught – but in a “succha,” as it was during “Succhot” (the Feast of Tabernacles) when the Israelites used to remember their ancestors who were delivered out of Egypt, and who were instructed by Moses to construct temporary dwelling places out of wood and leaves, decorating the sides with fruit.
