Profile picture for user Gordon Conner
By Gordon Conner, Wednesday, December 19, 2012
4 Reasons Jesus Came to Earth
Did He choose leave Heaven’s glory, choose to become man through the virgin birth just so there would be a Christmas Day? Did He decide to come to earth to give us a holiday?

3 Choices for Christmas

Providing for His Own

Profile picture for user Valerie Creed
By Valerie Creed, Friday, December 7, 2012
Letting God Use You to Provide for His Children
God is always working behind the scenes to provide for His children. Since He knows what tomorrow holds, one would think that trusting the Lord would be the only option in daily living.
