    Changed By The Spirit Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Dec 15, 2021
     | 2,780 views

    For Ebeneezer Scrooge to change his ways, he had to be visited by three spirits. He had to be shown the ugliest and selfishness of his heart. It’s a story about transformation. That’s what sums up the Christmas Story. That’s what sums up the reason for God sending us His Son.

    INTRODUCTION: Christmas time! My favorite time of year. One of my favorite Christmas stories is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. It’s a story about a greedy, grumpy old man named Scrooge who hated Christmas and everything about it. Scrooge lived for his money, but his money brought him ...read more

Illus: One case in point is the legalization of abortion. According to the laws in most of our states, ...read more
