Save Your Words

Iwanted to write something optimistic for Christmas, something uplifting. Alas, I’m not feeling it. No, I’m not down on Christmas. To the contrary, Christmas is one of the diminishing number of things that still make sense to me. Because it’s about action that lines up with eternal truth: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

God doesn’t just tell us He loves us. He acts. He delivers.
