Christmas Eve

It's easy to feel like a Grinch around the holidays. We feel stressed spending money we may not have on things we may not like for people we sometimes find challenging to be around. It’s easy to get caught up in the "trimmings and the trappings" of the holiday. Just like the Grinch, we sometimes wonder if there’'s a deeper meaning to Christmas – we want for it to mean so much more.

The Bible tells the story of God's great love for people. Out of his unimaginable love for us, God offered a bright new world to men and women. Unfortunately, they chose to turn away from God and darkness crept into the soul of every human. This darkness is passed from parent to child like an inherited gene. We see evidence of it on the news every single night.
