(December 9, 2005)
It is one thing to try to arouse the God-awareness of the athiests at the ACLU...But it seems that perhaps Mega-Churches are too busy for the King of Kings. -
Pinched-Faced Grinches
(December 19, 2005)
It’s that strange time of year again, the period before Christmas when pinched-faced ideological grinches emerge from under a rock and try to abolish Christmas. -

Christmas in October
(October 9, 2008)
Christmas in October. I start thinking about gift shopping early now ... and aim to end early. I know I cannot wait until December. The overseas gifts alone need to be bought, wrapped, packed, and mailed by mid-November just to make sure they arrive by Christmas. And knowing we'll see families at Thanksgiving whom we may not see at Christmas prompts me to get those presents ready early to save post-office trauma later. So while it may seem strange to start focusing on Christmas when it's -
All Christmas Songs, All the Time
(October 20, 2008)
Think it’s too early to listen to Christmas music? Doesn’t matter, because I’ve already been listening to Christmas music all day today. And I’ll do it again tomorrow. Just in time for the release of Fernando Ortega’s Christmas Songs (Curb). -

(December 23, 2008)
On December 7, I had the privilege to accompany Victoria Rigel, a talented young teen who played two recorders simultaneously. She harmonized with herself on O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Hope you enjoy the rendition and Merry Christmas! -

Yearly Traditions
(December 25, 2003)
Yearly traditions bring continuity to a constantly changing world. Family traditions are the lighthouse beacon that welcomes ships passing in the night, inviting them to drop anchor in a safe harbor. -

The Battle for Christmas--A New Front in the Culture War
(December 17, 2004)
Christmas is at the center of controversy once again as school boards, municipal governments, and shopping malls become arenas for battle in what has emerged as one of the most active fronts in the Culture War. Who knew that--in America of all places--singing Christmas carols and wishing strangers "Merry Christmas" could become a form of civil disobedience? -
Give Christmas Gifts from the Heart
(December 4, 2003)
On the first Christmas, God gave the world the ultimate gift - His Son, Jesus. And just as He gave to us from His heart, we too can give heartfelt Christmas gifts that share His love. -

Generation X-Mas
(December 13, 2007)
A filming crew from our church hit the streets of Charlotte to film a “man on the street” video asking people “What comes to your mind when you think of the Christmas story?” Number one answer? “The movie.” Yep, the 1983 “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid” tale from 1940’s Indiana of a nine-year-old boy’s desire for a Red-Ryder Carbon-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle BB-Gun (and, lest we forget, with a compass in the stock). An editorial in Time magazine recently chronicled how A Christmas Story has become the quintessential American film for Christmas, replacing It’s a Wonderful Life. Titled “Generation X-Mas,” it chronicled how an “upstart film became a holiday icon for the post-boomer set.” As for George Bailey? “Not so into him anymore.” -
Keep Christ in Christmas
(December 20, 2001)
Focus on Christ as you celebrate His birthday Santa, shopping, entertaining - these are just a few of the many things that can crowd out Christ on Christmas. You don't necessarily need to avoid traditional holiday celebrations. You just need to incorporate your faith in Christ into them so you can enjoy the Christmas God wants you to have. -
Keeping Your Balance At Christmas
(December 24, 2003)
We are fond of saying that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but time can really be in short supply during the holidays. Families are faced with all sorts of distractions and challenges at Christmas.
