    A Real Savior for Real People

    Besides stringing together a long list of people, whose names are not easy to pronounce, have you ever wondered why Luke includes so many of them? All of the people he has listed were real people living at the time when John the Baptizer came preaching in the desert, preparing the way for our Savior. And all of this took place when God Himself in the flesh stepped into history to rescue you from your sins and for eternal life with Him.

    A Christmas Gift with 'Clutch Power'

    A lot of toys and gifts come and go. Some are based on passing fads. While popular for short while, they soon fade from the store shelves and rarely get touched at home. But have you noticed that there are some that never change? It’s worth knowing that this is also true of God and His gift to you of a Savior. God assures us in Malachi, “I the LORD do not change.” That’s incredibly reassuring.  Here's why!

    A Well-Plowed Road

    Nothing beats a well-plowed road! That’s especially true if you’re planning to travel at Christmas. As you and I travel through this Advent season, John reminds us how true that is, but in a very special way.

    Look Up With Eyes Open

    As Christmas approaches, you may be facing medical difficulties. You may not be thinking so much about the baby lying in the manger as your loved one lying in the hospital. This may be the first Christmas when someone you love has died and won’t be at the table. You may not be looking forward to Christmas this year. Let’s admit it, it’s hard to look up when your eyes are filled with tears. But that’s exactly why God invites you and me to lift our heads. And it’s why these words from our Savior are specifically for you. Take a look at what’s on the horizon.

    What Do You Want for Christmas?

    What do you want for Christmas?  Has anyone asked you that question this year?  In these days of shopping and sales, have you found yourself racking your brain and trying to figure out what to give your loved ones? In most cases, it comes down to discovering what that other person needs.  Well, if that’s the case, then you’re going to want to take another look at this passage from Paul in 1 Thessalonians. And here’s one tangible way you can do it.

    God Welcomes Returns

    Did you know that retailers are already bracing themselves for a blizzard of returns after Christmas again this year? The reality, though, is that they don't want those returns. All this, then, makes the words recorded by the prophet Joel, leap right off the page.  As you and I begin this season of Advent, leading up to Christmas, it’s important to know that we have a God who welcomes returns.  And not just any returns.  God wants you!

    Black Friday

    Today is Black Friday! It’s often assumed that the name “Black Friday,” originated with the profit that stores make as a result of all the shopping which takes place annually on this date. The thought is that businesses, working with tight margins throughout the year and operating at financial loss, or “in the red,” now begin to see things turn around.  With massive sales on the day after Thanksgiving, stores finally begin to show a profit which puts them “in the black.” As nice as that sounds, it’s not true. However, when it comes to debts and credits, we're reminded that this describes well another important Friday in history which we celebrate each year.

    A Holiday Speed Bump

    Notes go hereHappy Thanksgiving tomorrow!  I want to get that greeting in before the holiday itself vanishes. In recent years, Thanksgiving has become somewhat of a speed bump on the way to Christmas. However, speed bumps can be quite handy.
