"The eye is the lamp of the body.
If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. ..."
Matthew 6:22
Romans 12 is one of my favorite chapters of the Bible because it is a summation of chapters 1-11,
and is a practical guide on how to make Jesus Christ the Lord of every area of
life. A worthy goal here is to aspire to
be a Christian who lives like a Christian every day of his life!
Romans 12:1 tells me that to live a life of worship is to not
just engage in ritual activity--perhaps in a Sunday worship service--but to
involve your heart, mind, and will in living in obedience to God.
About 5 years ago, my wife began a family tradition of watching
the 2006 movie, The Nativity Story, each
year around Christmas time. With each
viewing, I grow in appreciation for the Bible’s story of the birth of
Jesus. This well-done film really "humanizes" the characters of Mary, Joseph, and Elizabeth, as well as the wise
men and shepherds. Watching the
beautifully powerful birth scene becomes an act of worship for me!
Merry Christmas!
