    Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.

    1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Christmas was God’s idea. It has never been ...read more

    The love of God is the best known attribute and probably the least understood. And when we grasp the love of God in part, what are we supposed to do next?

    KNOWING THE GOD WHO LOVES YOU Ask anyone what they know of God and you will receive a common answer: God is love. And when I say “ask anyone” I literally mean “anyone.” Do a survey at Portage and Main in Winnipeg and ask people what they think of God and chances are pretty good most people will ...read more
