Putting the “Deo” Back in Christmas
Everywhere we go this month, the air is filled with Christmas carols. We hear everything from seasonal classics like “Jingle Bells to Christian hymns like “Silent Night.” The words are very familiar, but do we understand what these timeless refrains mean? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez takes a look at a well-known Christmas melody to reveal the meaning and the challenge behind the lyrics. This simple song is a helpful reminder about what makes the season so joyful.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
