The final week of Advent is all about JESUS.
Jesus is the reason for this season. He is the light that breaks through darkness, the promise kept, the Savior who came to redeem us from our sins and purchase a place in heaven for us. This Christmas, let your home be centered not on presents, but on His holy presence.
The fourth week of Advent reminds us of God’s immeasurable LOVE.
When God sent His Son to this earth to save us from our sins, He showed us what real love looks like: He “GAVE.” Love is more than words; it’s action. This week, find someone to serve. Encourage your spouse. Show kindness to a stranger. That’s how families reflect the heart of Christ to a needy world.
Silent Night is a song we sing each year. Find out how this beautiful song originated.
Dr. Dobson reminds us that despite the difficulties of living in these turbulent times in our culture, coupled with the fact that many of us will be experiencing pain and loss as we enter this Christmas season, there is hope if we will look to our Deliverer, who is Jesus Christ.
The massacre of Jews this week on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia has sent shockwaves across the global Jewish community. Sydney’s Jews had gathered at the iconic beach to celebrate the beginning of Hanukkah—the “Festival of Lights.” The celebration quickly turned into darkness, death, and suffering when two radical Islamists launched a terror attack. This father and son team sprayed the beach with bullets, killing fifteen and wounding forty others (one of the gunmen also was killed by police). Among the dead were children, at least two rabbis, and an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor.

The third week of Advent reminds us of JOY. When the shepherds heard the good news that the Savior had come, it was news that brought great joy. You can experience this same exultation today—not because of your circumstances, but through Christ living within you.
Earlier this month, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump participated in the annual lighting of the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse in President’s Park. This event has become part of our “civic religion.” Its Christian roots are obvious, but the gospel of Jesus Christ has faded a bit into the background. As America has become more diverse, a consensus has grown suggesting it would be inappropriate to be too overtly Christian at the tree lighting. In December 2024, then-President Biden lit the tree and dedicated it to “A Season of Peace and Light.” He spoke of “the peace we feel as we pause and reflect on our blessings and the light—the light we see as we gather with loved ones that cherish our time together.” He then referred to a phrase in the Christmas carol “O Holy Night” that says, “His law is love, and His gospel is peace.” The “His” in the song obviously refers to Jesus, but apparently saying the name of Christ would be in bad taste in diverse America. At the very end, God did get a shout-out. Biden ended with the exhortation, “And may God bless you all. And may God protect—may God ...
Without a doubt, the best time of the year for shared memories is Christmas. Some of my happiest memories, both as a child and as an adult, have been rooted in the Christmas season.
