Long ago we wondered if it was appropriate to celebrate advent in our home.


Was it a wise thing to embark upon? Was it in any way superstitious or ungodly? I suppose it could be any or all of those things...depending on how it is implemented.


In our home we seek to remember in a special way at CHRISTmastime the wonderful provision of God to us as lost men ~ God's provision of The SAVIOUR Who would save HIS people from their sins. We go beyond the manger and see the CROSS.

Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. The Bible tells us that all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags. We are incapable of doing good without the Lord Jesus Christ! HE is our RIGHTEOUSNESS...purchased with HIS BLOOD that we might be right with God.

If you are unsure of your own Salvation...please read this article and prayerfully consider all that it says. May God graciously reveal the Truth to your heart.

If you are saved and desire to begin celebrating the REAL reason in a more meaningful way, you might want to begin by reading some of Ann Voskamp's thoughts in this article. Ann penned another article which explains what they do in their home.

Every family is unique and Advent celebrations can take on a variety of forms ~ BUT the focus must be on the Lord Jesus Christ ~ After all...HE is the reason for the celebration!
