Christmas. I'm violating my own standards of not starting anything Christmas-related until Thanksgiving Day. I've been sucked in by the incessant Christmas music on three radio stations in our area. Even my children now clamor for the Christmas music. Usually they are asking for loud, obnoxious rock - Mike has ruined their musical taste. :)
The one benefit I've noticed to this onslaught of Christmas music is the number of references to Jesus in the songs. At no other time of the year do non-Christian radio stations willingly flood their airwaves with songs about the place of Jesus, the purpose of Christ's coming to earth, and the glory of God. My prayer as hundreds of thousands of people turn their dial into these stations is that people will pause and ask themselves, "Who is Jesus? Why is he important?" and that they will begin to fan the spark of the Holy Spirit that is in every person.
Will you join me in that prayer as well? Or in asking the questions if that's where you are right now?
