Merry Christmas!

I feel that I would miss a great opportunity if I did not take a moment to share the reason we (Spence & I) celebrate Christmas. We join with fellow Christ followers to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Before you say anything, yes we know that He was probably not born December 25. We also know that if we only acknowledge Him once a year, that we are missing the point.

We believe that God became man and came to earth as a baby. We believe that He lived a perfect, sinless life. We believe that He died on a cross. We believe He rose again 3 days later. We believe He is seated in heaven. We believe all of these things were done because of God's love for us. It isn't merely that He did those things, but that they were done to save us from an eternity seperated from Him in hell.

We spend time reflecting on that daily. We read His Word in the Bible daily. We pray and meditate and seek His will for our lives daily. These are not things that we only do one day a year. We do set aside Christmas to really focus on the fact that God loves us so much that He came, lived, died, and rose again.

If we leave you with one thing on this day, our prayer is that you will come to know Christ personally. If you have questions or would like to know more, please contact us. We would love to talk to you more about this.
