Experience Christmas
Christmas Bible Studies
Pour a mug of hot chocolate and settle in with a Christmas life lesson. In the midst of this busy season, take some time to sit with God. We have three sets of life lessons – guided Bible studies – that are a perfect way to celebrate the season. The Carols of Christmas Carols are one [...] Read More >
What is Advent?
One of my fondest childhood memories of the Christmas season is the Advent calendars my brother and I would receive every year. If you’re unfamiliar with this tradition, the particular version my family enjoyed consisted of a nearly flat decorated cardboard box, with tiny doors on it, numbered from 1 to 24 representing the days [...] Read More >

Give a Gift to Your Relationship
My early morning jog seemed colder than normal. I felt chilled to the bone, so I stayed in the hot shower a bit longer than usual.

The independence that motivated her to [...] Read More >
A Christmas Plan
We have struggled to stay within a reasonable spending plan during gift giving at Christmas. Christmas can be a season of overindulgence. We’ve found it really helps to have a plan. We have a strict budget for immediate family and extended family members. The budget includes everything including stocking stuffers and all gifts. We [...] Read More >
Involving your Friends in Christmas
Christmas is one of the few times when it’s okay to talk about Jesus in secular, politically correct society. At least, it’s seen as being less offensive than the rest of the year. But how can Christians involve non-Christians in their Christmas celebrations without being dismissed as “preachy” but still being faithful to the truth [...] Read More >
