But every year, advertisements beckon, the children plead, and it seems easier just to indulge our wants and whims. Overspending, overeating, materialism, and busyness rob us of our peace and joy and rob Jesus of his rightful role as the center of our celebration. This Christmas, cut through the hype that leaves you exhausted and broke at the end of the year. Instead, experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us. In five short, engaging chapters, Pastor Mike Slaughter inspires readers to approach Christmas differently, and be transformed in the process.

Download or read book The Babes of Christmas written by Timothy Fan and published by God-Centered Universe Press. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This present, little volume is presented to the Church on account of the conviction that a Christ-centered celebration of Christmas is woefully corrupt without a Christ-centered understanding of God's love for all of the preborn children of the world." The Babes of Christmas is a call for the Church to apply the doctrine of the incarnation of the Word of God to the global crisis of the modern Abortion Holocaust. For, the Christmas account begins not in a manger, but in the womb of Mary. The Son of God was incarnate first as a preborn Babe, and only afterwards as the Babe of Bethlehem in Mary's arms. Using careful, detailed studies of the Old Testament prophecies and New Testament fulfillments of the coming of the Son of God in the flesh of a Babe, the present work summons all of God's elect to shed Gospel tears and to exercise Gospel love on behalf of their preborn neighbors. This summons, then, is at once doxological and abolitionist, since the Christ who was once a fragile Babe in the womb is the same Christ who is now ascended into Heaven, and seated at the right hand of the Father in glory.
