Advent Devotionals - For Those Who are Still Undecided

I am not much of a tradition kind of girl, but around this time of the year I think it is a very good idea to keep our eyes on what really matters: Christmas is about the coming of Christ fulfilling God's promise of sending a Saviour to the world.
To help with that we do what is called "Advent". There is different ways of celebrating and observing Advent, usually in the form of a reflection everyday of the month of December leading up to Christmas.


Today I thought I would share with you a few free resources out there that you could use to help you focus on Christ during this season:

1. John Piper's Advent devotions:
Good News of Great Joy
The Dawning of Undestructable Joy

2. Paul Tripp's Advent Devotion: Come Let us Adore Him
3. Nancy Guthrie: Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room

4. Make Him Room by Kristen Oliphant

5. Jesse Tree Advent projects. In the past we have use the appendix at the back of the Book: Disciplines of a Godly Family by The Hughes, but you can find many options on the web.

6. Studying the Birth of Jesus Devotional from Mama's Learning Corner



Of course let us not forget listening to some inspiring Christmas songs. Besides the beloved carols (of which my favorite is Hark the Herald Angels Sing), our favorite song artists are: The Gettys' and Sovereign Grace Christmas albums. Here are some albums titles sure to enrich your Christmas season:

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
