KEEP IT SIMPLE THIS CHRISTMAS

kisDEC2010

 

When you look back at past Christmas celebrations, what would you change? (And, you can’t include uninviting Uncle Harry and his dog!).   

 

Would you spend less, cook less, or would you have skipped one of the many Christmas party invitations?  Maybe you would have even taken a relaxing vacation!

 

One thing I would change would be to have done less, and enjoyed the season more. 

 

Every summer I create a Christmas project schedule (yes, I’m a little obsessed with planning ahead), but this year I was thrown off schedule by a couple of months, and was beginning to ...

MenorahThis evening at sundown marks the beginning of Hanukkah--a significant celebration by a people who endured generation upon generation of bondage to foreign enemies.

More than 21 centuries ago, the Holy Land was ruled by Syrian Greeks who wanted to forcefully engulf the people of Israel.  But a small group of faithful Jews defeated an army of Greeks, drove them from the land and reclaimed the Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to God.

As the Jewish historical narrative recounts, when they went to light the Temple's menorah, they found only a single vile of olive oil that hadn ...

"I Am The Lord's Servant"

2010 has proven to be a full year of ministry for Nancy Leigh DeMoss and the team at Revive Our Hearts as they've faithfully produced and delivered daily long-form and short-form programming and held three major True Woman '10 events resulting in more than 12,000 women in attendance.  They also hosted a sold-out Pure in Heart Conference just recently in the Tampa area.

This ministry serves as an outflow of God's call on Nancy's life.  Her life verse is Luke 1:38 which states, "I am the Lord's servant, Mary answered.  May it be to ...

Moving from Fear to Freedom

When my son struggled in school, I worried.  When he took up bodyboarding at age 16 ... I worried.  When he started driving ... I worried.  He turns 27 this week ... and, okay, I still worry.

Over the years though I've learned to worry less about my son and trust God more.  It's not always easy ... yet daily prayer and meditating on Scripture has helped calm my heart during those worriesome times. 

Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine with Grace Fox

Perhaps you have moms in your audience who are struggling with worry, especially this season?  Encourage them to tune in this week to "FamilyLife Today," when Grace Fox ...

Family Talk and Thanksgiving!

Family Talk ThanksgivingAnother Thanksgiving "under our belts" ... well, so to speak!

I'm going to bet that there was plenty of "family talk" during your holidays, if your celebration was anything like most of us.  Even at my house, though the gathering was small in size, it was long on dialog about family.

Of course, families who regularly exercise the art of dialog are often where the circle gathers.  There's something very winsome about affording a place for conversation, sharing concerns as well as joys, talking out loud the "stuff of life" as parents nurture children into adulthood to replicate the ...
