    Have A Scandalous Christmas

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Dec 11, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,792 views

    Mary was willing to be scandalized so that God would be glorified.

    Isn’t it amazing how we have sanitized Christmas? Over the centuries we’ve cleaned up the story significantly. Christmas cards bear evidence of this. Most of them depict tinsel, holly, Christmas trees, bells, female angels, and Santa Claus. If they do get around to an image of the real ...read more

    Vital ways God taught us to share Christmas greetings.

    Ever wondered where the idea of Christmas greetings came from? Why do we greet others with “Merry Christmas” and send Christmas cards, letters and emails? The idea comes from God. God was the first Christmas greeter and He didn’t send a card or even an email to say, “Merry Christmas” to the ...read more

    Christmas is about many things, but one strong virtue that Christmas brings to mind is humility.

    Happy Are the Humble (Luke 1:39-56) 1. Sherlock Holmes is quoted as saying, "I am not among those who count humility among the virtues." 2. We tend to think of humility and not dwelling on oneself or comparing oneself to others. Wikipedia adds this insight: "Humility, or being humble, is the ...read more

    I Belong To The Lord, Body And Soul!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 19, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,373 views

    JB Phillips translates Luke 1:38 like this, ’I belong to the Lord, body and soul. Let it happen as you say.’ Mary’s response of simple, humble faith challenges us to respond positively to the Lord’s call. How will we respond when he next calls us?

    When God first called you what was your response? When God next calls you to something new, something different, what will be your response? The key to this Bible reading is Mary’s response of obedience. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary said. “May it be to me as you have said” (1:38). JB Phillips ...read more

    Sometimes the Best Gift is the Gift you didn’t want that is when it comes from God. This sets the stage for the Christmas Event. Christmas only truly happens when we receive his gift and use it.

    A Sunday School teacher once asked her class of children: “What is Christmas a time for” Many of the kids gave the usual answers – Jesus’ birthday, a time of joy, presents…but one child responded with a unique and unusual answer, “Christmas is a time for sportsmanship.” “Sportmanship?,” asked ...read more

    Using Mary response to the angel to demonstrate how faith is both what we believe to be true as well as our actions.
