Do you have someone on your
Christmas shopping list, who is
so hard to buy a present for
because they seem to have
everything? You may even ask
them what they might like and
they have nothing to add to
your list.
You could buy them a
gold-plated bottle opener, or a
singing keychain, or something
‘practical like that! You could
visit Spencer’s gifts or some
other novelty site for
something ‘unique’ but then
wonder, “What good is that
gift?”
This year for the Christmas
season, the sermon series in
James on “Practical
Christianity” will continue.
These practical sermons will
be gifts you could give one
another and the Lord this year
(and all year round).
Other practical gifts you may
consider giving the Lord (that
I’ve mentioned this year):
Quiet times, Bible
reading, ministry
through a position in
the church, helping
your neighbor in
some way, offering
to pray for people
and doing so, etc….
(by now you’re getting
the idea that a practical
gift is more valuable
than a singing keychain!)
Christmas is a ‘most
wonderful time of the year’.
Christmas programs at school
and church, Christmas
shopping, Christmas parties
and activities are wonderful
and joyous times. However,
if you’re too busy for Jesus
and spiritual worship and
growth, you’re too busy! So
be sure to stay focused on
“THE REAL REASON FOR
THE SEASON”!
People are more open to talk-
ing about spiritual things
during this season too. So,
be sure to invite people to
