Staging The Holidays
It is a retail world starting November 23rd. Everyone and every store is staging for the Holidays! Some stores are even opening up for business at 4:00 am this year! With the economy being thrashed by the cost of real estate and the war this staging is very important for gaining the profits in the fourth quarter of the year. So many businesses make up there losses during this time span. They stage to be successful!
Well, let’s look at this from a spiritual sense. The Church, the Body of Christ, should be staging for these holidays! She should be open 24/7 with one thing in mind: showing compassion and long-term care for those hurting because of a desolate economy. Her prophets should be speaking the truth of the Word and not some puffed up stuff that sounds so mystic that is appeals to the immature hearer. This is a great time for Her to make up losses for past apathy and lethargy that accompanies Her services each Sunday!
God redefined humanity when Jesus was born! This year I hope and pray that the Church redefines Her presence in each locality, from the dynasties to the my four and no more bunch. This is celebration time! Celebrating the birth of the Savior of the world. I am so glad that He came! I am going to heaven because He stepped out of the womb towards Calvary and never quit!
Take time to stage your life, your family and your church to redefine this holiday season!
Peace
