My name is James and I am your friend. The purpose of life is to glorify God by enjoying Christ through knowing Him and making Him known.

All the cousins watching my brother doing his job flying planes at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska. ✈️

Jesus ate with sinners.
Jesus ate with Pharisees.
Let that sink in.

[James Witmyer @JamesWitmyer]

Death is conquered.
Evil is defeated.
Sin is forgiven.
Love is victorious.
Hope is alive.
HE IS RISEN!

"The Jews said to Him, 'What sign can you show us to prove you have the authority to do this?'
Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.'” (John 2:18-19)

I then compiled the responses into categories and found some interesting stats:

• Only 17% chose a celebrity
• Only 11% chose a historical figure
• Only 5% chose a friend

Do you know what 67% chose?

A family member.

This past week, I asked my 7th & 8th grade students to write their answer this question: "If you could have lunch with any real person (dead or alive) besides Jesus, who would you want to have lunch with and why?"

Daddy Daughter Disco tonight at @valleybaptist_ !

[James Witmyer @JamesWitmyer]

This is the year that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it.

No matter what happens.

[James Witmyer @JamesWitmyer]

Go tell it on the mountain (hope is alive)
Go shout it in the valley (love has arrived)
Gloria, glory in the highest
Oh, let the church choir sing out in Christmas praise
Let the bells ring out on the Savior's day

Today is the Savior’s day!

[James Witmyer @JamesWitmyer]

There's a frost on the ground
But a fire in my soul
Today everything can change
There's a flame in my heart
That'll never grow cold
Today is the Savior's day

[James Witmyer @JamesWitmyer]

Though the path may be covered
In virgin white snow
Your starlight will guide the way
And the angels are singing
We are not alone
Today is the Savior's day

PSA: "A Christmas Story Christmas" (2022) is a much better Christmas movie than "A Christmas Story" (1983). It actually makes watching the original worth the time.

Subjected my kids to this gem of a Christmas album on the way to school this morning!

Pro tip: “I Celebrate The Day” is a good conversation starter to remind the kids that Jesus is the reason for the season.

6. Our ultimate problem is not governmental, political, financial, educational, environmental, legal, or social - therefore, no candidate can solve it. It is a spiritual problem, and only Christ can ultimately solve it.

As I contemplated, prayed, and struggled with this Presidential Election 2024, I had a few thoughts that could be expanded upon in multiple long essays. However, no one has time for that these days. So here’s just a few of my short thoughts:

5. If me voicing support for any candidate causes me to lose Gospel influence in this world, then I will not voice it - because no candidate is worth it.
