The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice
What Child is This
One of the great principles of the Christian faith is that God chooses simple things and little people to do great works and confound the strong, and the Christmas story exemplifies that principle in a dynamic way. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he portrays the lives of the characters of Christ’s birth and the Babe Himself, the weakest of the weak and the most inconspicuous of the inconspicuous.
In the running of the Christian life, we can err by looking only at the past; this is sin, for it is a lack of faith in God’s future blessing. But we can also err by looking only at so distant a future that we miss the more immediate blessings that God has in store for us now. If we are really to engage in that great struggle for God’s best, we must also prepare for vigorous spiritual conflict. Our striving is not only against ourselves or circumstances but against the spiritual forces of this world that would seek to hinder us.
