A Christmas Challenge — iWork4Him

This is Christmas week! How will you live out your faith differently this Christmas season than you have in the past?

You see, God has placed you on a mission field in your workplace. You’re surrounded by people who don’t celebrate Christmas as Jesus’ birthday, and some of them don’t even celebrate Christmas at all. So, how can you shift your impact to ensure that those around you will experience a little bit of Jesus this Christmas season?

Martha and I want to offer up this personal challenge: Christmas is usually a time dedicated to family and very close friends. My challenge is to ask around you today to see if anybody you work with will be alone on Christmas day. Nobody should ever be alone on a major holiday. So ask, “Are you going to be alone on Christmas?” If they say yes, invite them into your life and let them experience Christmas with you. Let them bring food to share. Let their lives intersect with yours and make your holiday celebration a little richer.

Christmas is one of those rare seasons where everybody’s open to a little bit of truth that maybe they wouldn’t be open to other times of the year. When you love on your neighbors, whether from work or your actual neighborhood, and invite them into your lives this Christmas season, you will see miraculous things happen. So, ask around today and make sure nobody will be alone for Christmas. You are truly going to work with Him when you do this. Merry Christmas. We celebrate His birth so we can be a part of His divine rescue plan. Amen

The Manger is Part of the Miracle — Vaneetha Risner
The manger highlights the way God uses our deepest pain, the things we wish were different, the despised and the lowly, to bring him the greatest glory. God’s kingdom is upside down. The last shall be first, the weak shall be strong, and the foolish shall shame the wise. And God incarnate will be la
