Read the Good Book This Christmas Season with Loved Ones

Penulis : A. James on Sunday, December 5, 2010 | 7:21 PM

This year don't get caught up in the hustle and bustle of shopping, buying gifts, eating, shopping, gifts, and so on. Set down in a comfy chair and relax with a good book. By good book I mean the Bible, have you heard of it? It is God's words to us. Read about Jesus' birth that took place so many years ago leading us to celebrate His birthday at Christmas time.

Gather the family around you and begin reading in The New Testament. The birth of Jesus if found in Luke chapter 2 beginning in verse 1.

Enjoy family this season and leave a comment about the joy you have shared with others after reading this together. Don't forget those who are home bound or in nursing homes that wait to see if someone will walk through those doors just to read to them.

God bless you all and Merry Christmas!

God's Word... Not Just a Book

I keep my Bible (opened) by my bed at all times because there is no protection better, aside from God Himself, to have closeby. God's Word is powerful. Keep that in mind if you are feeling scared, depressed, sick, lonely, or even the happiest you've ever been. Try it...place your opened Bible by your bed before you close your eyes at night and see if you can feel what I mean.

As for what it brings me...well, it keeps me sane and gives me piece-of-mind along with the courage I need in my everyday life and that is when I am not reading it! Just knowing it is within reach gives me a sense of contentment.

The words inside give me so much more.... Thank you, God, for giving us not just a book, but your Word.
