We have just posted today's follow-up to the Christmas Advent Study series. Now is an excellent opportunity to continue the spiritual discipline of daily Bible reading, study and worship as a family. Just follow the link below to access this in our blog. I pray it is a blessing.

Lessons To Be Learned From Scriptural Advent Mediations
You have been meditating not on the mythologies, speculations and traditions of men but rather the holy, eternal, inerrant written Word of God. As a result you may very well have come to view the revelation of God the Holy Spirit concerning the birth of Christ in an entirely new light. Now is a good time for reflection on lessons learned. Each day read the passage, reflect on the devotional thought and then, if doing this as a family, discuss your conclusions.

I. Become a man or woman of the Word.

Deuteronomy 30:11-14
"For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach. It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?' Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?' But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.”

God’s Word is given to us to know and master for ourselves. It is our personal responsibility to know what God’s holy, eternal, inerrant, written Word says about the birth of Jesus. We are all to be as Ezra as revealed in Ezra 7:10 – “For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the LORD, and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel.” It is our personal responsibility to study, apply and then be able to correctly teach the truths of Christ’s Incarnation. As a result, the first thing we must ask ourselves is, “Where have I been getting my information about Jesus’ birth?” I remember going to the dentist and he noticed abrasions on my teeth. He asked me how much toothpaste I was using. I replied, illustrating it with hand motions, that I put a layer over the bristles and then curled it back over with a second layer. He smiled and asked me why, to which I replied, “Because that’s how they do it on TV.” He smiled, called his nurse in, the scene was repeated and they both became very animated. “Why would you look to TV ads to care for your teeth?” they both wanted to know. He then went on to tell me that all you need is just a little dot of toothpaste on the bristles. I had seen the adds so many times that I had just assumed they were right. It never occurred to me to ask the dentist. It is the same way with our doctrine. Why would we look to TV or Christmas cards for the doctrine of Christ’s birth? Yet we see the repetition of unbiblical events surrounding His birth so often that we just assume they are right. Go to your dentist, not the media for truth in dental care. Go to the Bible, not the media, for truth in your spiritual care.
