What's inside

God’s love—already on display at Christmas—continues to shine all year round. Just ask Veronica Schultz. Raised as a Muslim in Indonesia, Schultz experienced God’s patient guidance as she and her family discovered the saving gospel message.

God put on another dazzling display of love during Jesus’ ministry, when his Son’s true majesty was revealed on the Mount of Transfiguration. Read "The majesty of God's beloved Son."

True God came to earth to also become true man to save sinners like you and me. So what can we surrender to God, who in love gave us everything? Our broken hearts. Read "Give God your broken heart."

Just like we display a nativity at Christmastime, we can display God’s love any time of the year through how we live our lives. Gretchen Hudock shares ways we can help those who are struggling with the loss of a spouse in "When there's no one to share the popcorn," while Mark Kleisner demonstrates how to offer comfort and hope to police officers as a chaplain in this month's "My Christian life."
