    Part one of a four part series on the four themes of Advent - hope, peace, joy, and love. Describes "hope" and how it is powerful and beneficial.

    I enjoy celebrating Advent first, and then celebrating Christmas. You see, our world has commercialized Christmas so much so that what used to be a fairly sacred time of year is now only talked about in terms of company profits, consumer spending, Hollywood blockbuster movies, TV events, finding ...read more

    God has spoken to us through Jesus Christ. He has sent us mail through Jesus who is the message and the messenger rolled into one.

    Did I get any mail? This is one of the most common questions we find ourselves asking. I suppose all of us like to receive mail. We all like someone say to us, “You’ve got mail.” There is something rewarding and exciting about receiving mail, even if it is junk mail. If nothing else it, ...read more

    How God Calms His Children

    based on 86 ratings
     | 9,400 views

    We can rejoice because God calms us with the promise that he is with us to save us.

    “Calm” is probably the last word that would characterize these few days before Christmas. This is especially true for children. I remember when I was a child – waiting for Christmas seemed to be an eternity. And the closer the holiday came, the more excited I would become. Sometimes, moms and ...read more

    How a christian deals with fear.

    Do you know; I used to like the carol “While shepherds watched”. Both the words and Crimond the music it was set too.

    Through the visitation of the shepherds and magi we see that Christ was indeed good news of great joy for all people.

    The Christmas story is so familiar to us that we tend to view it through rose colored glasses. We tend to sanitize the scene to make it seem beautiful, pristine. Our nativities represent a postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It is ...read more
