Only then, after considering the necessity of Christ’s death, can we reflect on Christ’s crucifixion, the greatest evil ever committed against any man, and call that day “good.”Watch VideosVisit the Website Follow on InstagramFollow on Twitter

There is obviously nothing wrong with candy canes, christmas carols, gifts, decor, traditions, and hallmark movies (well maybe something wrong with those), but in the hullabaloo of it all, Christ is so often pushed to the peripheral corner of the day in which we celebrate His birth. In order to examine the “spirit of Christmas” we must turn to God’s word and in doing so, we must examine “Five Hallmarks of the Christmas Spirit” in Luke 1:46-55.In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis picks up where he left of in his previous episode and explains that the Christian is to be filled with:God’s Holy SpiritWorshipJoyHumilityGratitudeWatch VideosVisit the Website Follow on InstagramFollow on Twitter

There isn’t a story in all of fiction that is better than the Savior who would come and be born of a teenage girl - the virgin Mary! “My soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46).” - MaryWatch VideosVisit the Website Follow on InstagramFollow on Twitter

In James 3, the Scripture delineates the wisdom of this world from the wisdom that is “from above.” In doing so, James reveals that the tangible fruit of true wisdom is “good deeds.” Wisdom is not so much what we know as it is the translation of applying what we know to how we live.
