God's Favorite Christmas Gift

God’s Favorite Christmas Gift

VineWords Devotions and More

My favorite Christmas was the time I put my name on every gift under the tree. I have a large family with five sisters plus my mom and dad.

Stephanie Pavlantos: O Holy Night

VineWords Devotions and More

“O Holy Night” is one of my favorite Christmas songs. . . . Although it probably didn’t seem that holy giving birth in a cave with sheep around, God knew exactly where and when His Son would be born. Levitical shepherds who raised the sacrificial sheep for the temple priests surrounded baby Jesus—they were the ones angels told first. The shepherds washed the newborn lambs with saltwater and swaddled them in pieces of old priestly garments (because the worn-out garments … Continue reading →

Stephanie Pavlantos: The Offering

VineWords Devotions and More

If you had lived in the Garden of Eden, what do you think your offering or gift to God would’ve looked like?

Have you ever thought about why God had a problem with Cain’s offering in Genesis 4? Why did He react one way towards Abel’s gift and the opposite towards Cain’s? What … Continue reading →

The Fruit of Kindness

The Fruit of Kindness

“Would you be so kind as to give us a drink of water from your well?” Someone needed the fruit of kindness.   My mother passed down a story told by her grandmother, who grew up on a farm located on a dusty, rural road. At that time, many people walked wherever they went, having no access to any type of transportation. One hot summer day, a family traveling on foot stopped by my great-grandparents’ farm for a drink of … Continue reading →
