The fact that consumerism and materialism continue to overshadow the
true meaning of Christmas is not news to any of us who attempt to share
the real gospel with those God has asked us to lead. Financial advisor
Dave Ramsey points out that “more than $70 billion, over half of what
was charged last year, ended up as revolving debt and the interest on
last year’s gifts is still being paid today.” In his recent blog “
$pending This Christmas or Spending It Well,” Michael Craven asks us to
remember the obvious truths that more things will not make us happy, and
Christmas is about God’s gracious gifts of life, family, peace, and the
greatest gift of all: His Son, Jesus. To read his blog go to
