As we head toward Christmas, two articles to make you think and wonder and a third article related to gentleness…
- You’ve heard it, I’ve heard it: Christmas is really just a way to “Christianize” an ancient pagan holiday. Kevin DeYoung takes issue with that almost universally-accepted line of thinking and his points are encouraging and worth thinking on.
- Susan Lafferty’s reflection on “God with us” is wonderfully written, thought-provoking, and really helpful as we approach Christmas.
- This past Sunday, we noted that “gentleness” is a quality that Timothy is called to pursue (1 Timothy 6:11). I appreciated this brief note on what gentleness is and was helped by Shai Linne’s quote within it: gentleness is “strength under control.”
