Devotional: The Nativity of Our Lord

What do we celebrate today? We celebrate the power of God’s Word. John reminds us that “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” We remember how God spoke and things came into being. God said “Let there be light” and there was light! We remember how God’s Word was given to the Prophets to proclaim to a people who were rebellious, forgetful, sinful, but still loved by the Almighty.

Devotional: Manifestation of Glory

During the month of December we run about to all of our Christmas dinners and parties — we tick off the items on our shopping list as we run from mall to mall and store to store. We get so wrapped up in the commercialism of the season that we forget to prepare ourselves for something that is far greater. To be prepared for that day when our Lord will be manifested in glory.
