Bible Verse of the Day

Philippians 2:1-3 (Contemporary English Version)

Christ encourages you, and his love comforts you. God's Spirit unites you, and you are concerned for others. Now make me completely happy! Live in harmony by showing love for each other. Be united in what you think, as if you were only one person. Don't be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves.

Living in harmony, showing love for one another ... isn't that a perfect theme for this time of the year?

Christmas Carol of the Day

"Sweet Little Jesus Boy" - (Casting Crowns) - from the album Peace On Earth .
