As Christmas quickly approaches, I begin to embrace those mixed feelings I experience every year. Excitement, anticipation, and joy are mixed with reluctance, increasing stress, and financial burden.Even before truly following Jesus, I have always felt that our "celebration" of Christmas falls short of the world-changing event it was meant to be. The true story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and revolutionary love.
How did Jesus celebrate? Simple, He gave Himself.
We challenge you this Christmas to worship fully by spending less and giving yourself. And you will find that you are giving and loving more. Give one less gift this year, buy one less latte this week, and you can help streetwalkers in Ecuador find a new life, point people toward God in India, or provide a present for a Filipino child who has never received a Christmas gift.
Follow along in the upcoming articles this week as I share four simple statements behind a movement called Advent Conspiracy...
Worship fully.
Spend less.
Give more.
Love all.
Spend less.
Give more.
Love all.
I guarantee you that by giving yourself fully in these concepts this Christmas, you will encounter Christ's Advent like never before. And you will find yourself making a tangible difference in your family, community, and the world.
Enter the story. Advent Conspiracy.
