First, enjoy this show!

Then enjoy this one.

Several years ago there was a commercial with the tag line “This ain’t your father’s Oldsmobile.”  I think it is safe to say, “This is not your father’s Christmas lights.”

Seems as though lights play a big part in many Christmas homes. In spite of the energy crunch, many will light up their homes for the few weeks leading up to and shortly after Christmas. As a kid I can remember having lights in the windows and on the tree outside and inside, but one of the things we looked forward to was driving around and looking at the lights. I hate to sound all sentimental about it, but there was something magical about a house illuminated by lights. Granted, the two examples I showed takes it to a whole ‘nother level! 🙂

LIGHT ALWAYS DEFEATS DARKNESS!

During the month of December, my approach toward the Christmas story is taking some of the I AM statements Jesus makes and showing how they can give new meaning to an old story. Bet you can’t guess which I AM I will be using this Sunday!!!  😉 I’d like to give you something to consider this weekend in your own life:

To the darkness of falsehood He is the light of truth; the darkness of ignorance He is the light of wisdom;to the darkness of sin He is the light of holiness; to the darkness of sorrow He is the light of joy; and to the darkness of death He is the light of life.  (MacArthur Commentary-p.334)

I repeat: Light always defeats darkness. Jesus is “the Light of the World.” He came into a world darkened and blackened by sin. His remedy was Light…Himself. And now for a more serious side to this post.

Shine His light during this season! Thanks for your prayers.
