As Christians, we believe our minds, souls, and bodies were created for God-ordained rhythms of work, rest, and worship. Military duty necessarily pulls us away from these rhythms. Even as I am thankful, proud, and grounded because of my military experience, the intensity of that experience has a shadow side which takes a toll on many veterans.
Preparing Your Heart for Christmas
Excellent or Praiseworthy is posted on Monday and Thursday nights.
Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.’” — Revelation 11:15
Perhaps it’s difficult to get in the “mood” for Christmas this year. Perhaps deployment has distracted you from the “feeling” that usually comes with preparing for Christmas.
That’s understandable. And perhaps we can help. Because there’s nothing better to help you focus on the real meaning of Christmas than worshipful singing and solid biblical preaching.
Here is a favorite rendition of “O Holy Night”. . . enjoy!
And nothing tops Dr. S.M. Lockridge’s preaching on “That’s My King”. After all, not only did Jesus come to earth on that Holy Night as Savior. . . .but He came to reign in our hearts as King!
Do you know Him? Don’t let this Christmas go by without understanding it’s real meaning—God coming to earth as Savior and as King! Then, and only then will any circumstances of this year fade in comparison to the greatness of this gift of Jesus, Emanuel, Christ, King.
