Have Yourself a Magical Christmas!

I believe in magic!  Do you?  I don’t mean the dark and evil sense of magic as used by our secular and sin-cursed world.  I mean the beautiful and mysterious kind that brings the kind of awe and wonder and joy that affects us the rest of our lives. Do you know what I mean?

What do we want from this generation?  We want them to know our God and love Him. We want to influence our generation to love God’s Word, know it thoroughly, and apply it to the way they live their lives.  We want them to be “all-in” for God and willing to follow Christ and live for His sake and the gospels.  We want them to join the great cloud of witnesses who lived by faith and “subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, [and] obtained promises” (Hebrews 11:33).  Those are what makes Christianity successful!  Let’s stay focused on those things.

We should also be team-players in the Lord’s work.  Let’s never forget to seek God in our older years.
