A lot of people get caught up in gifts over the holidays and a lot of people in the church get pretty bent out of shape about that. At A.M.O.K. and in my personal life and ministry I have been focused very heavily on gifts too. Much of my ministry is focused on gifts. And so here's what I propose, as you receive and give your gifts this Christmas season remember that Christmas is all about giving and receiving. God gave His Son for you, so that you could receive salvation. God gave you gifts and talents so that you could work them, develop them and offer them back to Him to Give Him glory. When we give God glory with what he has given us, others see twhat we have received and what we give and receive Jesus. Jesus said You are the light of the world a city on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl, instead the place it on a stand and it give light to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men so they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. This Christmas season of lights and gifts, let your light shine and use your gifts to bring praise to the giver.
God bless,
Dave
