    What Does Jesus Want This Christmas?

    Contributed by Howard Harden on Dec 12, 2002

     | 17,224 views

    I think it’s safe to say that by and large, men need a lot of help in finding that perfect holiday gift. It just isn’t a talent that many men have. Sometimes the hints have to be especially large. Well this morning, I’d like to help all of the men present to discover what will be the perfect gift ...read more
