Eight Ways to Share Christ this Christmas, by Pastor Charlie Handren

By Anonymous
  1. Share your testimony. While some people are turned off by direct evangelism, it’s hard to deny the power of a story!
  2. Start with apologies. If relationships have been damaged with family members or friends, take time to repair them. Show others that you’ve been given grace in Christ and that you live by grace. 
  3. Meet tangible needs. Offer to help with a tangible need as a way to demonstrate the gospel in action: help with a project, babysit kids, provide financial help, or pray for a need.
  4. Ask, listen, and share. Ask someone what Christmas means to them and listen no matter what they say. If the Lord opens an opportunity for you to share, too, then do so. 
  5. Invite someone over for dinner. Invite some family, friends, or neighbors over for a Christmas dinner and take a few minutes to talk about the true meaning of Christmas. 
  6. Share a Christmas-themed gospel tract. Include a gospel tract in someone’s present, especially if you’re mailing one or more to a family member or friend. 
  7. Share the Gospel of John. Take some time to reach out to your family, friends, and neighbors by personally handing them a Gospel of John and offering to read it along with them. 
  8. Invite someone to Christmas worship service. Invite your family, friends, or neighbors to come to a Christmas eve morning or evening service with you and use the experience as an opportunity to speak with them about the gospel.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
