I’m all for holding onto the joy and restfulness of the season. Which is often hard to do before Christmas Eve.
So here’s some very beautiful music to link to.
One is from the London Symphony.

This other link below is of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel from the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Shaw.

The Robert Shaw/Atlanta Symphony stuff is some of my favorite music. You can search around YouTube and find many other collections they’ve done for Christmas.
So, turn down the lights, light some candles, get a mug of hot chocolate, sit by the Christmas tree, and enjoy the moment.
Merry Christmas!!
“… even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” (Romans 4:17b)
Every man chooses his reality.
Those of us, who are believers in Christ, find our identify in things which are unseen.
In other words, we live based upon the reality of invisible, spiritual truth.
While the world lives based upon man’s wisdom, popular philosophy, popular culture, or some so-called scientific theory.
“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. ” (Isaiah 59:13-15)
Our nation is founded upon the free flow of truth.
Without the open expression of opinion and debate, we will become a totalitarian system. Such as China or Iran or every other nation that has chosen to control the minds of its people. To limit what they can consider. To limit what they can listen to. Or read. Or discuss openly.
And to limit what they may believe. And not simply in the spoken expression of belief but in their private practice. And in their private communications with one another.
If you can control a person’s mind, and what that mind is exposed to, you can control that person. And a nation of persons.
So, why then, do we think this will not happen to us?
Why do we refuse to see that this is happening to us Right Now?
“The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.” (Psalm 145:18)
These days Christian leaders have less confidence in the words of God and more in the general message of the Bible.
