Christmas

I found THE best Christmas post I have ever read, I think...

This is what I think we should do to tell people about the Gospel. And also what we should not do.

Basically the whole thing is good, I don't want to copy everything here.

"In the Christian family itself, the prosperity gospel makes a mockery of the very savior it claims to proclaim. Western Christians plunge into the pagan celebration, spending thousands on themselves and their children. We spend enough on our lights to save thousands upon thousands of lives. But those lives are in the darkness of Advent’s waiting. Our “lights” are nothing more than an extension of that darkness. They have nothing to do with the true light that comes to the world...

Ironically, after 2,000 years of offering our Savior to others, we- Christians- need one more than ever. When we mark ourselves has “having” Christ more than “needing” Christ, we miss the Spirit of the Advent season."

Read the whole article to find out how we're missing the true Spirit of Advent.

Really need time to reflect on this in this Christmas.
