Handling The Holidays For The Lord’s Glory (And Your Good)

Counseling Tips For Pastors And Ministry Leaders - Practical Help From Christian Counselors

Christians are extra busy this time of year! Christmas, New Years - a wonderful time for remembering the Lord and enjoying your family… but quite likely, also a time for extra tasks, worldly distractions, and perhaps even a “bah-humbug” or two.

As you approach Christmas and prepare for a brand new year, may you find encouragement (and perhaps some Spirit-led conviction) by the simple Bible verse of Colossians 3:17 -

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Join me today for 3 tips to help you live this verse out well during a busy holiday season - for the Lord’s glory and for your own good!
