SHINE HIS LIGHT ON The Greatest Gift

by Kenneth Copeland   Merry Christmas! Christmas often provides wonderful opportunities to share your faith with those who think Christmas is only about Santa Claus, presents and Frosty the Snowman. Between parties, school functions with your kids, and family gatherings, the odds are that you’ll be surrounded by people who don’t know The LORD. As…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Peace

by Kenneth Copeland   Peace on Earth. That’s a popular phrase this time of year. It’s Scriptural. It’s short. It fits nicely on the front of Christmas cards and looks great in gold script. But let’s get real. That phrase, as spiritual as it might sound, isn’t worth the card it’s printed on if it’s…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON The Tree of Life

by Gloria Copeland   Every year in New York City, thousands are drawn to the annual tree-lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Center. The Christmas tree, which is at the center of America’s busiest city, is lit and decorated exquisitely, and stands anywhere from 70 to 100 feet high. I’ve never attended myself, but its sparkling, majestic…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Wisdom

by Kenneth Copeland   I once saw a bumper sticker on an old pickup truck that read, “Wise Men Still Seek Him.” That sure is true. And, this Christmas, I think it’s a good time to talk about why seeking God is wise. If you look at any Nativity scene, you’ll see a group of…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Renewal

by Kenneth Copeland   If you’ve ever had a fresh Christmas tree in your home, you know what it’s like to water it and work to keep it strong and green. It gives off such a wonderful smell of pine when it’s freshly cut! Over time, it doesn’t look quite as fresh anymore. No matter…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Victory

by Gloria Copeland   On Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, millions of Americans gather around their television sets to cheer on their favorite football team to win. We even enjoy small victories in our lives—Christmas lights hung on the highest peak of the house, a snowman that took four hours to build, and a pumpkin…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Seed Faith

by Kenneth Copeland   If you’re planning to visit a Christmas tree farm this year, the trees you’ll be choosing from are the result of careful planning. Five or six years ago, the farmer planted a pine cone seed in fertile soil. He believed in that pine cone seed and that one seed would produce…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Possibility

by Gloria Copeland   There’s something about Christmas that inspires children to begin dreaming. Maybe it’s the sparkle of Christmas lights on houses, the stockings hung and waiting to be filled, or dazzling packages nestled under the Christmas tree. Somehow, anything seems possible this time of year. Many youngsters will even rush to bed much…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Priorities

by Kenneth Copeland   Have you ever seen one of those advent calendars that counts down the days until Christmas? Some of them will have a little window you open to reveal a Scripture verse. Others have a trinket or a chocolate inside. Either way, you can’t open all the windows at once; you have…

SHINE HIS LIGHT ON Worry

by Gloria Copeland   Seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves, and a partridge in a pear tree…That’s a lot of birds in one Christmas carol! Birds, like robins and red cardinals, not only appear on Christmas cards, but they also have great symbolism in the…
