The Message of the Season
—————————————————

“The message of this season that is applicable throughout the year lies not in the receiving of earthly presents and treasures but in the forsaking of selfishness and greed and in going forward, seeking and enjoying the gifts of the Spirit, which Paul said are ‘love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law’ (Gal. 5:22-23).”

Topics: Christmas, Holy Ghost, gifts of the Spirit
