What comes to mind when you think of Christmas?

             Driving around looking at Christmas lights?

              Presents and shopping? (whether enjoyable or nail-biting)

              Sipping Hot Cocoa with peppermint marshmallows?

              Christmas Movie Countdowns

              The Christmas music that has been playing since November 1st?

Whether you love the Christmas season and all the joy it brings, dread the chaos of another gifting season, feel pain and sadness at the loss of a loved one, or struggle through hardships this season, one thing is for certain: it’s easy to take our eyes of Jesus, even in this season where we are supposed to think about His birth the most. Let’s face it, we’ve all probably done it – we talk about how “Jesus is the reason for the season” and remind others that it’s not about the tree, the presence, or Santa. But then we rush around throughout the month making plans, attending parties, buying gifts, cooking treats, and more; for most of this Christmas season, we never think about Jesus until Sunday morning rolls around and the sermon at church is about His birth or we’re lighting candles at a Christmas Eve service singing about the joy He brings. And then, if you’re anything like me you feel guilty that once again you’ve made Christmas about yourself and promise that next year will be different – well, maybe.

So what should we do then?

Do we skip the gifts, forgo the Christmas Tree, sit solemnly reading our bibles this December? While the early American puritans would be in favor of that, I’m not so sure we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater here. While Jesus’ birth was a sacred and holy event, it is also a joyous one and should be celebrated, and there are many ways to point to Christ through our celebrations this season. One of the ways that helps me fix my focus on Christ through any season is being in his word – making a priority of my daily Bible reading. So, this year I put together a reading plan based on the names of Jesus so that every day I can focus on just one aspect of who he is – yes, He was the baby lying in a manger, but He’s also so much more than that!

Enter The FREE Bible reading plan!

Will you join me in reading about and studying Jesus this Christmas season? My goal is not for this to be complicated or profound, but hopefully, through this simple reading plan, we can all grow deeper in our understanding and worship of the God who came to earth as a child, experienced life like ours, and died in our place, so that we could be called children of God.

By downloading this free Christmas Bible reading plan (link to download below), you’ll have 24 days of scripture references, tips for your own personal bible reading time, hints for using this plan with your entire family, and printable ornaments with the names of Jesus to display as you read about who Jesus is!

"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill yo "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 (NLT)
Praying that God would help us fix our eyes on him Praying that God would help us fix our eyes on him this week, that we wouldn't turn to the right or to the left; that we would not be tempted to turn back. Rather with our eyes fixed on him we would run into all he has for us this week. 

Are you praying with me? Let me know in the comments.
I've been listening to a seminary class on the boo I've been listening to a seminary class on the book of Revelation that Robert Mulholland taught before he passed away. I started to listen as one of several ways I was preparing to walk my youth group students through the book of Revelation (their request), but this week, as he was talking about Revelation 8, this quote just hit me. I went back multiple times to make sure I could write it out correctly. 

It is challenging and filled with truth. 

May we be people who pray with our hearts and our lives abandoned to the things of God - so he can come and have his way in us and through us.
I heard Jeanne Mayo say this weekend, "short praye I heard Jeanne Mayo say this weekend, "short prayers reach the throne room when we don't live far away." In other words Saturday close to the throne room, pray without ceasing. 

Will you join me in prayer today?
Don't burn bridges, build them. Don't burn bridges, build them.
So many things in this life will distract us and e So many things in this life will distract us and entangle us from running the race God has given us. 

From to-do lists, to dreams and hopes, discontentment, economic hardship, and yes even elections. But this prayer has been my prayer for years and will be my prayer long after this week. Because I don't know about you, but I want to fix my eyes on Jesus and run the race HE has called me to run. 

It doesn't matter what people will say. 
It doesn't matter what comes my way. 
It doesn't matter what tomorrow holds
Winds may come and a house of cards will fold. 

But my God is my focus
His heart is my cry. 
So I'll keep looking to Him
And run the race He called mine.
Growing up I always saw today on the calendar and Growing up I always saw today on the calendar and wondered what All Saints Day was. I guess I just assumed it was something that Catholics celebrated and didn't have any significance on protestants. So, let's talk about it. 

All Saints Day was originally set to remember the Martyrs of the early church. It was a day to remember and be thankful for those who gave their lives to carry on the gospel's message and thus serve as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice for us. So on All Saints Day we remember those throughout history who are a testimony of the grace, love, and power of God through Christ's sacrifice. 

Later in Church history, All Saints Day shifted to include ALL the saints (everyone who has faith in Jesus). During the reformation, All Saints Day became a reminder of the unity of the church and our need for fellowship with one another. Discipleship is at the forefront of this holiday as we typically remember those who have had an impact on our lives in Christ - whether dead or alive. 

How To Celebrate All Saints Day:
- Learn about historic Martyrs
- Read Hebrews 11
- Gather with other believers
- Consider how you can pursue unity with believers
- Thank someone who has poured into your life and faith. 
- Eat donuts! yes, you heard that right. The unbroken outer circle of the donut is a reminder of Christian Unity while the hole in the center is a reminder of eternity, it is a reminder that Jesus is coming back for his bride to make us fully complete in Him when we celebrate a new heaven and a new earth. 

How will you celebrate All Saints Day?
Why does it feel like some days we are living in a Why does it feel like some days we are living in a scorched and desolate place? We desperately need refreshing, but everything we look at is empty or dried out. 

It's because we were never meant to be satisfied with those things? We were meant to be satisfied in Christ alone. and scripture likens Christ to living water that springs up within us, giving life in every season. 

"And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." Isaiah 58:11
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, "But you are a chosen people, a  royal priesthood, a holy nation..." (1 Peter 2:9)

"You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God..." (Revelation 5:10)
Learning to trust God is hard! I still remember Learning to trust God is hard! 

I still remember the last conversation I had with my grandmother before she passed away. She said, "I'm still learning to trust God with my life." She was the most godly woman I have ever known, but she knew that there was always room to trust God more. When she didn't understand what God was doing or why something was happening in her life it was an opportunity for her to dig deeper into her faith; to learn to trust God more than she ever had before. 

That's the kind of faith I want. A faith that even when I experience doubt, my heart chooses to trust deeper. A faith that knows I will always be learning this lesson and won't ever arrive at perfection but chooses to keep learning to trust God through every season. That's the faith that plants your life next to the river of God's grace and mercy because that faith knows that true life is the river flowing from the heart of God.
