This Holiday Season
by: Travis Arrant
The holiday season is upon us. For many, it is the most wonderful time of the year. For others, it is a time of sadness and despair. Wherever you are this holiday season, please know God loves you and so do we!
As Christians, we are to be the ambassadors of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:20). Let us not get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season, we lose our focus on what are the truly important and eternal things. In everything, let others see Christ in us. By the way we talk, by our actions, and by our thoughts, let us be filled with love for God and love for our fellow man. Let us be looking for opportunities to help others (Galatians 6:10).
This world needs folks who give others a second chance. People who are slow to judge and quick to encourage. Men and women, boys and girls who are patient, longsuffering, and who look for the good in all. What a different world this would be!
What a different church we would be! Friends, we are here to serve God and do His will (Ecclesiastes 12:13,14). It is our prayer this holiday season is the best ever for you and your family. We pray you and yours have health and safety as you gather together. Let us put God first and be an encouragement to all we encounter.
Let us strive to deny ourselves and follow Jesus (Matthew 16:24). Do this and we shall truly live, now and for all eternity!
Stay true to the Word,
Brother Travis
