Christmas stands as having two great charges: you are a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior. Christmas then is for sinners.

The coming of Jesus into the world was to destroy any accusations of Satan against you. But how? At the cross Jesus defanged Satan.

Your Father in heaven will never turn a deaf ear to you. He promises us access to Him at any time through our prayers.

The Lord sends His hounds of suffering to hurry us homeward and to quicken our pace. Heaven is our great reward.

We share in Christ’s sufferings and we shall share in his comfort, too. Christ is with us in our suffering.

Suffering is God’s chisel for molding his children. Our Father desires to imprint upon us the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).

This godliness is what will bring heaps of trouble into our lives. Be warned, the narrow way is the hated way.

We are the enemy of God according to Romans 5:10. In the light of God's law, we all stand in orange jumpsuits. Guilty criminals.

It's often defined as something like this: "But God is love!  And God loves love!" But don't be mistaken, the world is hostile to the Truth.

There are no lone-ranger Christians; to be a Christian without a church home, is to be like a bee without a hive.
