     As the song says, "Christmas Times a Coming." As we think on the words of this song and this special time of the year, we should all make an honest assessment of what do these words mean to me? I fear that to most, it is frustaration over what gift to give to whom, how much money to spend on gifts and will they be happy with what we have bought for them, instead of "Oh what a Savior, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death, rose after three days, ascended unto the right hand of the Father and is soon coming back for those of us who know Him as our Personal Savior. Christian people, let's let the world be concerned with the tinsel of Christmas, and let us fully appreciate the gift that was given to us so many years ago. Lets determine to give to that world our view of what the real meaning of Christmas is all about. God bless you, and from myself as the Pastor of Faith Baptist church and from each member of our church family, may you have a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
