Jesus said, “I will build my church and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.” The church is called the bride of Christ and most of God’s plan to save the world involves the church so why would we miss out on that.

No one really knows the exact day Jesus was born but our churches and culture have chosen December 25th as the day to celebrate His birth.

Jesus is God and He is worthy of our worship and our gifts. It seems odd that people have b...
