    Like in Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, to truly understand Christmas we need to see it from the past, present and future.

    CHRISTMAS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE Christmas is finally here! One of my favorite movies to watch at Christmas time is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in 1843. In the story, Mr. Scrooge is visited by 3 spirits – Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. I think that ...read more

    A Line in Time Mary and Joseph It was almost as if someone had dragged a stick though the sand drawing a line that said this was then and this is now.

    Distractions are often times intentional. They are created in order to get you to focus on the unimportant in order to prevent you from seeing what is really important. Can that happen at Christmas time? Do you really have to ask???

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more

    Don't Miss This Opportunity

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Dec 8, 2013
     | 5,964 views

    Secular observance of the pre-Christmas season focuses primarily on the First Coming of Christ that occurred 2,000 years ago. As Christians, our focus is on preparation for the Second Coming, which in turn readies us to remember Christmas.

    Don’t miss this opportunity. Throughout the year, we get mailings from stores telling us of some special sale or event where they will save us tons of money on whatever it is that the stores tell us we need. It seems that quantity increases tenfold or more during the Christmas shopping time. ...read more

    When it comes to looking for Jesus we see several "types" of people in the Gospels. Are they all still with us today? What kind of person actually finds Jesus?

    Looking for Jesus. There are at least three kinds of people looking for Jesus ... Those who want nothing to do with Jesus Those who are looking for Jesus in all the wrong places Those who are looking in the right places We see all of these people in the Christmas story and you probably know ...read more
