Allowing Christ a larger place in our lives and in our world than as the Babe of Bethlehem

Babies are something special. I can never forget what it was like to see my two girls at their birth.

There ...read more

God's Hope In Troubled Times

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 12, 2006

based on 4 ratings

| 5,135 views

Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more

Mindless, but welcoming music drifting over hordes of harried, hopeful, hesitantly happy holiday hunters. Shop ’til you’re top-heavy, arms full of packages, ...read more
