It's CHRISTmas Eve--a time for reflection, family and praise for Christ. Since The Year of Faith over on my newsletter is just around the corner. (Be sure to subscribe to this blog for in 2014, I'll be back with a weekly column to educate and amaze!) I'm taking these last few weeks of 2013 to share some praise and worship with you. This video touches on one of my pet peeves about CHRISTmas time. There is very little Christ in CHRISTmas anymore. Most of the Christmas movies talk about it being all about family and love. A nice concept to be sure, but certainly not the focus of CHRISTmas. Some of the Christmas movie line up doesn't even talk about...
This CHRISTmas, why not give Jesus a gift? Something He has asked of us. Something that adds to the kingdom of God. This CHRISTmas, give Him the gift of boldly, graciously, and effectively sharing the Gospel with others. If we are commanded to share the Gospel, why is it that so many Christians don't? 1.

The video countdown continues with Matthew West and Heart of CHRISTmas!
This is a new one on the countdown this year. I just found this song and I love it. It speaks to what is at the heart of what CHRISTmas is all about.
This is what we all strive to remember as Christians. It's why I continue to spell it CHRISTmas. It reminds me to make sure I put Christ back in my CHRISTmas.

The 5th Annual Video Countdown to CHRISTmas here at Communication FUNdamentals starts today. Music video is a powerful form of communication. We can use it to worship, to express ourselves and to share the love of God. My goal, again, this CHRISTmas is to help put Christ back in our CHRISTmas by sharing 25 of my most favorite CHRISTmas songs with you. This first one is a new one I discovered called Where's the Line to See Jesus? It shares my feeling, and that of many other Christians today, that our society has commercialized this blessed holiday to the point were we don't even know what it's all about anymore. Though there are many Christmas movies during this holiday season, there are precious few CHRISTmas movies. Most of the movies these...
