If Jesus can live in you and you are no different than the world around you, something got short circuited because Jesus makes a difference.

When Christ returns, and only then, will the angel's message to the shepherds be totally fulfilled: Peace on earth, goodwill toward men.

God is faithful and true. Confess your inability and His ability, and keep your eyes on Him.

Throughout Jesus' ministry, He took time away from the crowds and even His disciples to pray by Himself. Jesus modeled the importance of not only serving God with our actions but of being still and drawing close to God to renew our souls.

The true celebration of Christmas is when we ponder afresh the grace of God who became human, entered history through a virgin's womb, and brought redemption to the world.

Prayer is the hard-work business of Christianity, and it nets amazing results.

All the Christmas presents in the world are worth nothing without the presence of Christ.
