We live in ever changing times, and the older we are the more apparent this is. Some of you have come from the horse and buggy days to this. Hardly anything is the same. Some changes have been for the better and some for the worse—some are just different, neither better nor worse.
We also live in chaotic times. There is confusion and disorder everywhere you look. All the way from the halls of Congress to pulpit and pews of the churches.
Then there is the corruption that we must contend with. We live in a fallen world–a world that is getting “worse and worse”, rather than better. As you know, it’s sure easy to get discouraged!
But there is good news. There is One constant in life that gives us the courage to trudge on in the face of difficulty, danger, and disappointment. That constant is Christ, our never changing, ever compassionate Lord and Savior. So as we celebrate His birth, let us also consider His life, death, resurrection, and promise to return. Set your focus on Him, His person and work, and you cannot but help have a very Merry Christmas!
Bev and I wish for you the kind of Merry Christmas that only Christ can provide. It is with all our love that we pray for God’s richest blessing upon you and your family. Merry Christmas! –David and Beverly Stone
