A Christian Response to God and Disasters

By: Dr. Kevin Prather Jul 5, 2025

A Time for Quiet

By: Dr. Kevin Prather Category: Pastor's Blog Tags: Worship, Life, Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, Christmas, Busyness, Quiet

Christmas is an incredible opportunity for us to slow down and reflect on God's amazing love, grace and mercy toward us in the gift of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who entered into our human condition to pay our sin debt so that we could become sons and daughters of the Living God. The culture (and our misguided priorities) encourage us to live life at a million miles an hour. This kind of living is counterproductive to our walk with God, our love for Him and our love for others. It hinders our worship and leads us to give God our left overs. He deserves so much more.

Joy to the World?

Followers of Jesus can rejoice and must rejoice this Christmas Season as we celebrate the remarkable, immeasurably costly, gracious and loving gift of God the Son to us, the babe in the manger who came to save us from our sins and to lead us from darkness to light. The world may be a dark place, and, getting darker, but Christians, because of Jesus Christ, can and must sing 'Joy to the World, the Lord has Come, Let Earth Receive Her King!' because Jesus Christ is the answer to all of humanity's needs.
