By the grace of God, this could and should be a Christmas like no other! Let us prepare by striving to understand what Christ's coming into the world means. Let us reconcile ourselves to God through Confession It is easy to be swept away by all the trappings of the season, but the believer must not lose the infinite worth found in Christ. As you prepare your home this season, be sure preparation is made to spend time with your Saviour through meditation on His word and prayer, for no heart is as full as the heart that is filled with Christ.
