Don’t let anyone steal your Christmas Joy

May we all like the Grinch in the children’s book “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” eventually gain some insight and wisdom into the real meaning of the Christmas season

“He puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. Maybe Christmas, he thought… doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps… means a little bit more!

How could it be so? It came without ribbons!… it came without tags!… it came without packages, boxes, or bags!

But this… this sound wasn’t sad. Why… this sound sounded glad. Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, was singing, without *any* presents at all! He hadn’t stopped Christmas from coming, it *came*! Somehow or other… it came just the same.”

Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

As Paul always begins his epistles I will begin this liner with “Greetings to the church in Edgar and Martha’s home.” The church is not a building it is where the body of believers meet to fellowship.

It was an honor to meet with this body of believers last night in their home to introduce them to the message of my book DEVELOPING A SECRET HISTORY WITH GOD. May God bless and inspire you as you meet together to work through the eight week Study Guide for the book.

Why not consider opening your home to a group of your friends and neighbors to have church? The Study Guide will lead you step by step through the chapters of the book with thought provoking questions for open discussion.

Acts 2:46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.

“He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.” ~Augustine

The Son of God became a man to enable men to become the sons of God  C. S. Lewis

John1 :12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
