And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” Genesis 3:10
D.L. MOODYMost of us live away from home. We are hiding as Adam did in the bushes of Eden. There was a time when God’s voice thrilled Adam’s soul with joy and gladness, and he thrilled God’s heart with joy. They lived in sweet fellowship with each other. God had lifted Adam to the very gates of heaven and had made him lord over all creation. I haven’t a doubt that He had …

This Christmas, let's remember the mystery of the Christ-child. There's more to the Baby than the eye could see.
Transcript:
Hi, this is Pastor Lutzer. Well, my friend. I have lived through many Christmases, and I never tire of Christmas.

Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6
