    What Christ Wants From Us For Christmas

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 20, 2022
     | 1,936 views

    If you ask people what their favorite SEASON is most folks will answer that it is SPRING or FALL.

    Why? Because these two seasons give us a mixture of WINTER and SUMMER at the same time. That is; in these seasons it is not TOO HOT nor is it TOO COLD. However, if you ask people what their FAVORITE THOLIDAY is, overwhelmingly many would say -- CHRISTMAS. It is a time when it seems everyone ...read more

    There’s Just Something About Christmas Series

    Christmas is by far the most popular of these seven American holidays. Yet, not everybody can tell you why we celebrate every other holiday. Only around half of all Americans could retell the Christmas story from memory.

    It’s now just two weeks and just fourteen days until Christmas! Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons: family gathering together, time off from work and obligations, and the strong sense of nostalgia we all feel this time of year. Nat King Cole captured the sentiment of the season for many ...read more

    There was always a lot of excitement at my house on Christmas morning. The night before, we would be debating with my parents about what time we could wake them up. Usually they would start somewhere around 7:00 and my brothers and I would start somewhere around 5:00. We would usually compromise ...read more

    I don’t think any of us are really ready to give up the traditions of this holiday season. So why not think about what we love about this time of the year? (Based on an article by Rev. Thomas Shepherd) ________________________________________

    How do you like this time of the year? Shopping center parking lots clogged with car headlights like a starry night sky in the country. 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

    Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007
     | 2,643 views

    Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

    Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more

    If the Apostle Paul Were to Write A Christmas Letter…it would be all about YOU. And what Paul has to say about you depends on what he has to say about Christ.

    I have a confession to make. It’s been seven years since I’ve written a Christmas letter. I know, I know. I have no excuses. Everyone else is busy at this time of year and yet manages to get a Christmas letter written, edited, addressed, and posted to a million family and friends. If I were to ...read more
