A New 12 Days of Christmas

Posted by
Tomorrow, December 14th, officially begins "The 12 Days of Christmas" countdown.  As always people are clamoring to keep Christ in Christmas and with that in mind I decided to write down "A New 12 Days of Christmas". 

It is my hope and prayer that each Scripture will remind us, while simultaneously reinforcing, our reason for celebrating this season which is "Immanuel: God with us."


  1. December 14th - “For this I was born and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth” (John 18:37).
  2. December 15th - “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8; cf. Hebrews 2:14–15).
