Social Network Christmas

We have just celebrated Christmas Day. But we are still in the Advent season! I came across this video that gives us a picture of what it would be like if Mary & Joseph were living in our days of social networking! Please enjoy the video and rejoice for the Son has come.

A Time for Giving and Forgiving

Christmas is a time for giving and forgiving. It is reported that in USA the total sales for the Christmas season constitute a quarter of the year's total sales! It is big money and big headache for those buying! I was reminded today in a news article that there are many things that we can give, not only during the Christmas season but everyday of our lives. 

You can actually start creating your own list of giving for Christmas and the New Year and it may include: give your time to a worthy cause; give your hand to the needy; give a call to the lonely; give a word of encouragement to the discouraged; give a cup of water to the thirsty; give your forgiveness to the one who hurt you, and the list goes on. 

Don’t just make a list but put in the names (if you know them) of real people that you see or know as you live each day. Not everything you give will require money. Lastly, give others an opportunity to give back to you too!

Blessed Christmas!

A Brave Testimony

The most persecuted Christians are found in North Korea. Yet their faith remain as strong as ever. There is something about suffering that helps build a strong faith. Listen to the testimony of this 18-year old girl who came from North Korea as she shared to the audience at the recent Lausanne Congress on World Evangelisation in Cape Town. May your faith be challenged as well.
