Contributed by Prasanna P on Dec 12, 2018

He is the reason for the Season. We celebrate the season because He is in us. Christmas is not receiving gifts, not asking for gifts, not Santa, not Ever green Tree, not the pomp and show of lights and all the other things..... Christmas is Jesus. Yes it is receiving the gift God gave to mankind.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Are we kings, already? The answer is "yes" and "no." But our riches are for service, to be used in humility. Not to lift ourselves up.
