As we anticipate the biggest birthday party celebrated all over the world, we are reminded why this Child was born. We read in John 12:46 (NKJV) "I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness". May we heed His invitation and abide in the light.

50% of the surveyed pastors have considered leaving the ministry in the past 3 months. So, one of the books we have available for our guests to read is "Before You Quit" by Blaine Allen. He draws our attention to the many bible characters who were on the verge of quitting, and told the Lord in no uncertain terms, that they were done, ready to give up. Blaine outlines the steps to take while considering making a change, making sure that this move is indeed prompted by the Lord, and not a desire of one's own flesh, seeking comfort in a new environment, away from the present problems.

Here are some nuggets to consider:
"Contentment is a natural wealth; luxury, artificial poverty." (Greek philosopher Socrates)
"Contentment is an inner quietness irrespective of attending accoutrements." (Blaine Allen, Before You Quit)
