Christmas is Almost Here!!!

This is that wonderful time of year where we are generous (lol some of us), and we give to each other. Some people call this season "the season of giving". We (as Christians) remember this season as the reminder that God sent his son Jesus Christ down to earth. We are meant to remind ourselves this season of the reason Christ came down, which was to bring glory to his father in the sacrificing of himself for man's sin.
There are many Christmas programs out there that say they promote Christ but don't. Some programs at some churches center around the display given and not the biblical principles of why Christ came. But other churches do want others to glory in the true reason of why Christ came and their programs glorify God in their worship. Grace Life Church of the Shoals puts on a great Christmas program each year that is an example of putting forth biblical music that glorifies God. Their music minister Thomas Clay has his own blog http://www.thomasclay.blogspot.com/.
On the Grace Life Church site they have live streaming of the services and this Sunday night is the Christmas program. It's called the Shoals Christmas Praise. If you'd like to watch it later they have a service archive that shows previous services.
