Advent Conspiracy – Love All

24, Dec 2009

When Jesus loved, He loved in ways never imagined. Though rich, he became poor to love the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick. He played to the margins. By spending less at Christmas we have the opportunity to join Him in giving resources to those who need help the most. When Advent Conspiracy [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Give More…Take Time!!

23, Dec 2009

What is giving really all about? It seems today that so much of life makes demands on us… and especially within Christian circles. There seems, to me, an expectation on our lives to constantly be giving of our time, resources, of ourselves. Giving too much of yourself is not necessarily a good thing – and [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Spend Less

19, Dec 2009

This year I have managed to buy less presents for people – though I must admit it has been fuelled more by the emptiness in my purse than it has to do with the call by the Advent Conspiracy lot. It’s not a bad idea though I love buying presents. Gift buying is often my [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Worship Fully

18, Dec 2009

What does it mean to WORSHIP FULLY? To live a LIFESTYLE of worship? How do we worship?

It starts with Jesus. It ends with Jesus. This is the holistic approach God had in mind for Christmas. It’s a season where we are called to put down our burdens and lift a song up to our God. [...]

So how did we get to this point? [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Changing the World

1, Dec 2009

>

Christmas can [still] change the world.The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.
So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.
And when it’s all over, many of us are [...]

Why I like Queeny at Christmas

26, Dec 2008

Okay, so some may scoff at me for being a royalist or the like, tuning in to such an old fashioned tradition. I mean, what does the queen have to offer us today? How on earth can she have anything to relate to us as she sits on her throne in a palace far removed [...]

Have yourself a truly Charlie Brown Christmas

25, Dec 2008

What is Christmas all about? Linus in this well-known comic strip has the answer. I couldn’t have put it better myself. Enjoy this Christmas morning, and remember in the midst of everything – Jesus, the greatest gift of all.

The 12 Days of Christmas – Revised Version!

13, Dec 2008

>A vicar, not so far from where I live has “rehashed” the well-known chorus, “The 12 Days of Christmas”, to a more updated, relevant rendition! Perhaps, this is a sad reflection on society today, not that it’s been rehashed, but that this truly shows the reality of life today. It is his attempt to reinforce [...]
