What does Christmas offer to the reality of our lives? The reality of holidays and people’s lives is not always as happy or merry as we’ve hoped.

A Father’s Faithfulness
David sinned when he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing; when he had pulled back from God’s calling. We have to be careful of comfort and of being distracted, because it leads to a place of being unfaithful. Instead, we have to keep moving forward in God’s will, which can regularly take us to less…
