Christmas fun!


Hi everyone! Hope you had a great Christmas yesterday. Anyway, here are some great resources on Christmas that have appeared on the blogosphere this year.

Christmas Presents:

Free Book or DVD from Desiring God; they will actually mail it to you. Just fill in your address!
Free Audio Book of When I Don't Desire God; another great Piper work.
Download a free IVP chapter everyday; until Jan 5th for the 12 days of Christmas


On Christmas:

sermons
40 Christmas sermons by Sinclair Ferguson (mp3s); wow!

devotions
8 devotions by Australian Glen on Christmas phrases; it's my favourite blog :)
We Lepers; re-post because it's so good.
J.I. Packer on the Incarnation; one of my favourite meditations on Christmas
Tony Reinke on Handel vs. Dickens; really good devotion on the insufficiency of the secular Christmas about giving and peace and being nice.
Being Distracted by Jesus; just what is happening in your heart this Christmas?

videos
Anti Santy Ranty by Australian Glen; So good and a great springboard to share the gospel. (He's also got the poem in French.)
UCCF's A Christmas Tale; a retelling of the Christmas story down to the grotty details.
A Social Network Christmas; what I'm gonna use to tell the Christmas story.
Advent: God with Us; I've posted this already, but it's too good to leave out.
Odd Thomas: The Incarnation; Like Christian rap.
That's Christmas by St. Helen's Church; real good quality stuff.

Man’s maker was made man,
that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother’s breast;
that the Bread might hunger,
the Fountain thirst,
the Light sleep,
the Way be tired on its journey;
that the Truth might be accused of false witness,
the Teacher be beaten with whips,
the Foundation be suspended on wood;
that Strength might grow weak;
that the Healer might be wounded;
that Life might die.
—Augustine.

  2. Hi Denise,

    Here's a good video I found on YouTube about religion, you might like to view it and see what you think.

    ”God in my life”

    I think it makes a lot of good common sense don't you?
