As Ryan continues to talk on relationships at Awakening, I find myself drawn to the beautiful picture God paints of love in the Bible. He has given us a divine blueprint of what true love really looks like and how we should go about loving those around us. Yet I cannot help but be challenged as well in the ways that I fall short in loving those closest to me....

Advent Conspiracy: Christmas can [still] change the world

 

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

 

So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.

And when it's all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

 

What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?

This is what Advent conspiracy is all about! 

Worship fully, spend less, give more, love all.  

 

Looking for a gift with meaning?

Visit the Trade As One boutique on campus this Saturday from 5-8pm and Sunday from 9:00-noon.
