Third Sunday in Advent

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15). This testimony we give as Christians comes from a place of strength knowing that God always has been and always will be fighting for his creation. Know of my prayers for you on this day of rejoicing. The Lord rejoices in you! Take heart and share your testimony of hope!
