But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:4-7, NKJV)
Have you really thought about the immense importance of the great event we celebrate at this time of the year? At the fullness of time, just the right time in our history, not by chance or accident but by design by our all-wise and all-knowing God, Jesus Christ was born into this world…to die. His primary purpose was not to establish a new religion, not to be an example of how to live, but to die for our sin to redeem us. The Bible uses two words for redemption. One means to buy out of the slave market; we were slaves to sin with a death warrant over our heads, but He bought us out slavery into freedom. The other means to exchange coins; His righteousness had to be exchanged for our corrupt sinful nature, just like one would exchange their national money for another country’s so it could be of value and worth in that country. But why would He do this? What drove Him to come in humiliation and die for sinners like us? His love for us! He wanted to bring us into a living relationship with the Father and impart the Holy Spirit in our lives so we can enjoy being the children of our heavenly Father by adoption, and heirs of God through Christ! So as you think this season about all the warm traditions we embrace, enjoy your family times, parties, and other holiday activities, take time to remember the love of God that would give so much for you, and made you His own! Merry Christmas and the best of New Years to you and yours from us at Highway Won Christian Store! –TK
So What’s New?
We are very excited about this month ahead at Highway Won. First off this week is the annual Hospitality Night here in Cambria, Thursday December 3rd from 5:30 to 9:00 pm! Most of the businesses here in town will be open and offering special events, sales, treats, and the like, and it is a great time to come and enjoy our beautiful little town. We are pleased to announce that we are going to have live music at our store that evening, plus a special little giveaway item for both adults and children. This will be a blessed night and we hope that many of you will be able to join us.
Our November Bible Month sale has gone fairly well, and we are going to continue this sale for the rest of the year in hopes of encouraging people to read and study the Bible more in 2010. We have several one-year Bibles on display as well. The sale prices range from 10-20% off and applies also to Bibles we order for you if they are not in stock currently. Now is the time to get that Bible for yourself or another that you have had your eye on!
Although we sold a fair amount of Christmas items over the Thanksgiving weekend, we still have many Christmas items, Christmas cards, music and books in stock. Make Highway Won your source for Christmas items this year! Don’t wait for after Christmas sales and miss out—they are going fast!
Lastly, we want to say thank you so much for all of your support, prayers, and love over this past year. It has been a difficult one for us personally and as a store, and the support of our customers and kind comments about Highway Won have helped us endure these things more easily. We are looking ahead to serving you and being here for you all the more in 2010, and appreciate your prayers as to that as well!

Hi Tom--I hadn't realized that you had started a ministry in Cambria. I remember the thoughtful way you wrote Bible studies at Harvest. Steve and I and our family changed over to Calvary Moreno Valley 7 years ago--just because God spoke to Steve to make the change. Since then he has been in the AV ministry, but stepped down because of his impending early-onset Alzheimers'disease. Steve no longer can work and has Social Security disability benefits (He's 54). We are now both at home--I retired from public school teaching-- so we can have that fun and companionship while he still can enjoy traveling and gardening, etc. Of course we are now enjoying marriages in this stage of our kids' lives.
ReplyDeleteI have been leading a couple of women's ministries at CCMV, very blessed to have been asked to do so. I teach a home study each summer.
The Bible studies I wrote years ago, Galatians and Mark, have been reformatted to Microsoft Word, and are available at no cost form krucke4JC@yahoo.com. I&II Samuel are being redone at Calvary Costa Mesa by a young sister, Esther Balos, and a group of friends. A big job!
The series is "A Woman's Walk in the Word."
