"The spirit of Christmas needs to be superseded by the Spirit of
Christ. The spirit of Christmas is annual; the Spirit of Christ is
eternal. The spirit of Christmas is sentimental; the Spirit of Christ
is supernatural. The spirit of Christmas is a human product; the Spirit
of Christ is a divine person. That makes all the difference in the
world." ~ Pastor Stuart Briscoe
"The hinge of history is on the door of a Bethlehem stable." ~ Ralph W. Sockman, pastor and national radio host in the early 20th century
"No matter what you are going through this Christmas, try celebrating the real thing. It will make a difference." ~ Rick Warren, The Purpose of Christmas (Howard, 2008)
