IT IS ABOUT THE GIFTS

Each year we are reminded that Christmas should not be just about giving and receiving presents. But if we really think about Christmas, it truly is all about gift giving! At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the greatest gift ever given, by the greatest gift-giver of all, our wonderful God!

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THREE GIFTS THAT WE SHOULD GIVE HIM:

1. A COMMITMENT TO FAITHFULNESS Exo 20:3—Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE Ecc 9:10—Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might...
3. A COMMITMENT TO PURITY 1 Pet 1:15-16—But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

How committed are you?

DO YOU DAILY SPEND TIME WITH HIM IN PRAYER?
DO YOU DAILY SPEND TIME IN HIS WORD?
DO YOU DAILY STRIVE TO PLEASE HIM IN ALL YOU DO?

What do you plan to give the Lord for Christmas?

Bro. Dave,

I really liked what you said in your blog. It's true that we need to give Christ more than what we have. No doubt in my mind that he truly gave the very best that he had!
