As we draw near to Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Christ, our sense of hope and joy builds. As we rest into the knowledge of God’s promises fulfilled through this holy birth, our sense of peace and love grows. Advent is a season where we live close to God and look toward God’s future blessings.
The covenant relationship that we have with God allows us to live in His blessings. We seek to be content and happy in our lives. It is through the confidence in God as provider and in our attitude as thankful recipients of these blessings that we find true contentment and happiness. Knowing that we are loved and cared for by God makes such a difference in life.
In this holy season God wants to meet all of our needs – physical, spiritual, and emotional. As our thanks and praises to our creator who blesses us so richly grows, it spills out of our lives and into the lives of those around us. As we spread the joy, hope, love, and peace, others are in turn blessed as well.
Scripture reference: Isaiah 61: 8-11

In my point of view , biblical at that, ANY PERSON WHO STILL OBSERVED PAGANS HOLIDAY, like Christmas, New years celebration, etc.,etc. AND PROFESS that he is a pastor, or a minister , or a preacher, are IGNORAMUS of the WORDS, or who DO NOT UNDERSTAND what are written in the bible. And have no business preaching the Gospel.
READ the outcome of people like you in the Revelation. DECEIVERS who were thrown in the lake of fire with their Master, Lucifer.
BE AFRAID , man ! …..BE VERY AFRAID…….REPENT WHILE YOU STILL CAN.
