Christmas: The Season of Giving

By Tim MooreChurch, Vision

This season we are taking up a special Christmas Offering.  This is something we began last year and plan to continue doing each year.  Some people might be skeptical of the church for doing this, but I have come to realize this is an opportunity to position ourselves to impact lives for Christ.  (After all, isn’t that why He came?)

This year the focus of our Christmas offering is a little different. We are still going to try to help people within our church community who are REALLY struggling financially, just like we do throughout the year. We feel that any chance we have to literally meet people’s needs in a real way will open their hearts to Christ.

Yet, as we have continued to grow, the realization that we can’t fix every situation is hitting us. Trust me, we WANT to. I wish that we could help every family who we knew were struggling.  But we simply can’t.

So this is what we are going to do. We are going to take part of the Christmas Offering and help those we know within our church who are really struggling. I’m not talking about the family that says “We only have a couple hundred dollars for Christmas this year, and we could use some help.” I’m talking about the family that might have their lights or heat shut off. I’m talking about people who are literally running out of food and have no money to buy more. We want to do something to immediately bring hope to those hopeless situations.

If you know someone who fits this category, let us know (email: info@crossroadschurchwired.com).

We are going to take the rest of the offering and use it to help people spiritually. What does that mean? It means we are going to use what is left to help us continue to expand our opportunities to share the Gospel. Here are some of the ways we want to accomplish this:

  • Raise the money we need to expand our auditorium so we can seat hundreds more.   I believe if we could increase our space we’d increase our harvest!  (You can give online to the Wall Campaign)
  • Put our plans in motion to find and launch our first satellite site.  This alone would allow us to reach more people at further distances from us.
  • Position ourselves to be ready to respond to whatever God calls us to do.

I have a big vision for this church.  We plan to do everything we can to de-populate hell and populate heaven.  When you give this season, do it generously.  Do it knowing that you are playing a significant part in affecting people’s eternities.

We will have Christmas Offering envelopes available this weekend for anyone who wants to give this or next weekend.  If you want to give now, you can do so online.  Please designate it “Christmas Offering”.

    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose
    you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Christmas:
    The Season of Giving – Tim Moore is kinda boring.
    You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and note
    how they write news titles to get viewers to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you’ve
    written. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

  90. Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Stringent Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Switzerland testing agency that attests to the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC validation is a symbol of superior craftsmanship and dependability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its proprietary stringent criteria with movements like the UNICO calibre, attaining comparable precision.

    The Art of Exact Timekeeping
    The core mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which supplies energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be prone to external elements that may impact its accuracy. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests measure:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, highest variation levels, and effects of temperature changes.
    Why COSC Accreditation Matters
    For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-certified timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a proof to enduring quality and accuracy. It symbolizes a timepiece that:

    Presents exceptional dependability and precision.
    Offers guarantee of quality across the complete construction of the watch.
    Is apt to hold its value more effectively, making it a wise choice.
    Popular Chronometer Brands
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which highlight COSC-certified movements equipped with advanced materials like silicon equilibrium springs to enhance resilience and efficiency.

    Historic Context and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The idea of the timepiece dates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a yardstick for judging the precision of luxury watches, continuing a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to excellence and precision. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC certification offers peace of thoughts, ensuring that each certified timepiece will function dependably under various circumstances. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-certified watches distinguish themselves in the world of watchmaking, bearing on a legacy of meticulous chronometry.

    Son Zamanın En Büyük Beğenilen Kumarhane Sitesi: Casibom

    Kumarhane oyunlarını sevenlerin artık duymuş olduğu Casibom, son dönemde adından çoğunlukla söz ettiren bir bahis ve casino platformu haline geldi. Türkiye’nin en mükemmel casino web sitelerinden biri olarak tanınan Casibom’un haftalık olarak göre değişen erişim adresi, alanında oldukça yenilikçi olmasına rağmen güvenilir ve kar getiren bir platform olarak öne çıkıyor.

    Casibom, rakiplerini geride bırakıp eski bahis web sitelerinin üstünlük sağlamayı başarılı oluyor. Bu pazarda eski olmak önemli olsa da, katılımcılarla etkileşimde olmak ve onlara temasa geçmek da aynı miktar önemlidir. Bu durumda, Casibom’un gece gündüz hizmet veren canlı destek ekibi ile rahatlıkla iletişime geçilebilir olması büyük önem taşıyan bir fayda sunuyor.

    Süratle genişleyen katılımcı kitlesi ile dikkat çeken Casibom’un arka planında başarılı faktörleri arasında, yalnızca casino ve gerçek zamanlı casino oyunlarıyla sınırlı kısıtlı olmayan geniş bir hizmetler yelpazesi bulunuyor. Atletizm bahislerinde sunduğu geniş alternatifler ve yüksek oranlar, oyuncuları ilgisini çekmeyi başarıyor.

    Ayrıca, hem spor bahisleri hem de bahis oyunlar oyuncularına yönelik sunulan yüksek yüzdeli avantajlı ödüller da ilgi çekiyor. Bu nedenle, Casibom hızla piyasada iyi bir reklam başarısı elde ediyor ve önemli bir katılımcı kitlesi kazanıyor.

    Casibom’un kazandıran ödülleri ve popülerliği ile birlikte, platforma abonelik ne şekilde sağlanır sorusuna da değinmek elzemdir. Casibom’a hareketli cihazlarınızdan, PC’lerinizden veya tabletlerinizden internet tarayıcı üzerinden rahatça erişilebilir. Ayrıca, web sitesinin mobil cihazlarla uyumlu olması da önemli bir artı sunuyor, çünkü şimdi pratikte herkesin bir cep telefonu var ve bu cihazlar üzerinden kolayca erişim sağlanabiliyor.

    Taşınabilir tabletlerinizle bile yolda canlı iddialar alabilir ve maçları canlı olarak izleyebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, Casibom’un mobil uyumlu olması, memleketimizde kumarhane ve casino gibi yerlerin yasal olarak kapatılmasıyla birlikte bu tür platformlara girişin önemli bir yolunu oluşturuyor.

    Casibom’un emin bir kumarhane sitesi olması da önemli bir avantaj sağlıyor. Lisanslı bir platform olan Casibom, kesintisiz bir şekilde eğlence ve kazanç elde etme imkanı sağlar.

    Casibom’a kullanıcı olmak da son derece basittir. Herhangi bir belge koşulu olmadan ve ücret ödemeden siteye kolaylıkla kullanıcı olabilirsiniz. Ayrıca, web sitesi üzerinde para yatırma ve çekme işlemleri için de birçok farklı yöntem vardır ve herhangi bir kesim ücreti alınmamaktadır.

    Ancak, Casibom’un güncel giriş adresini takip etmek de önemlidir. Çünkü gerçek zamanlı iddia ve oyun platformlar popüler olduğu için hileli siteler ve dolandırıcılar da ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle, Casibom’un sosyal medya hesaplarını ve güncel giriş adresini düzenli olarak kontrol etmek elzemdir.

    Sonuç olarak, Casibom hem itimat edilir hem de kar getiren bir kumarhane sitesi olarak dikkat çekiyor. Yüksek promosyonları, kapsamlı oyun alternatifleri ve kullanıcı dostu mobil uygulaması ile Casibom, casino tutkunları için ideal bir platform sağlar.
