Tis’ the season to be generous. Praise God for the reasons why we can do it and Praise God for sending Jesus to show us how to do it. I am certain that without the Prince of Peace running the show, my life and anything “good” I could possibly offer would yield a big fat zero on the grand scale. Dressed in Solomon’s splendor or bereft and destitute in the Baptizer’s shadow, and living on any degree of concrete in between, I am nothing more than a creaking rusty gate without Christ in the driver’s seat.
