Once upon a time, there was a day, back in the history of <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>, when there was an embargo\u2014you couldn\u2019t talk about one holiday until another one was past. You couldn\u2019t talk about Christmas until Thanksgiving had come around. Thanksgiving, of course, is this Thursday.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHowever, the rules have changed; and part of it is because we have a late Thanksgiving this year, which means you have a late start to the Christmas season; and Advent is going to be here before we know it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGuess who else is here before we know it?

For listeners who don\u2019t know\u2014over the last nine months, you have continued to write and to speak; and the \u201cEver Thine Home\u201d blog continues. I still get emails regularly\u2014yes, I am on the email list. Folks who\u2019d like more information about what you\u2019re doing at Ever Thine Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> can go to our website at FamilyLifeToday.com.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut because Advent is about to start, and it\u2019s going to start just a couple of days after Thanksgiving is over this year, we thought we ought to help families get ready for, Barbara, what you think is one of the most strategic seasons in a family\u2019s life, year in and year out. I just have to say\u2014as you have adult children and you ask them to reflect back on their childhood memories, the things that most often will come up are holiday memories and vacation memories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Traditions.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes; it\u2019s those special celebrations where the family kind of turns their attention to one another. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s part of the reason why you think, when it comes to the Thanksgiving season\/the Christmas season, moms and dads ought to say, \u201cWe have a gospel opportunity here, and we ought not to just let this slide by.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>You said it perfectly, because I have believed that for years. Even when we were raising our kids, I remember thinking: \u201cI need to do something to help them understand what Christmas is about\u2014that Christmas is about Jesus. It\u2019s not about Santa and the reindeer and all these other things. How do I do that?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was so busy and overwhelmed with life that I had a hard time figuring out what that was. I knew there was something missing in our Christmas celebrations. In my empty-nest years was when I finally had the bandwidth in my life to be able to think through, \u201cHow do I help families bring Jesus back into the holidays in a way that I used to want it but couldn\u2019t find it?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBecause Advent is coming up\u2014it\u2019s this Sunday\u2014and it used to sneak up on me <em>all the time<\/em>. All of a sudden, I would realize, \u201cWe missed the first week; we\u2019re already behind.\u201d I would, of course, beat myself up for that. But we\u2019re going to get ahead of it for you\/for listeners today and say, \u201cAdvent is coming up, and we have an idea for you of something that you could do with your family that would help you put the focus on Christ this Christmas.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>The first Sunday in Advent is this Sunday. Some folks aren\u2019t familiar with the Advent season, because it\u2019s not been a part of their traditional church calendar; but for years, Christians have marked the four Sundays leading up to Christmas as the four Sundays in Advent, taking time to highlight different aspects of the incarnation at a church service. I don\u2019t know that families necessarily made Advent central to what they were doing at home, but that\u2019s a part of what you\u2019re hoping families will do; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, because a lot of churches don\u2019t have that emphasis, I think it\u2019s a great opportunity for families to put that emphasis in your home. It doesn\u2019t mean that you have to do a lot\/you have to add a lot, because everybody\u2019s busy at Christmas anyway. This is not that hard to do, and I\u2019m trying to create something that\u2019s easy for moms to just add into the routine.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, and if you think to yourself, \u201cI don\u2019t need one more thing,\u201d stop and ask yourself, \u201cOf all the things I have, what are the ones that ought to be there and what are the ones I can drop?\u201d I think sometimes the tyranny of the culture robs us from the opportunities to talk about what we ought to be talking about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>I think, especially as young moms, I know that I wanted to bring Jesus in; but you\u2019re so taxed. You\u2019re trying to meet everybody\u2019s needs; you\u2019re Christmas shopping; you\u2019re decorating; so for someone to say, \u201cHere are some things that you could do to bring into your home,\u201d that is so helpful\u2014like: \u201cYou\u2019re helping us to bring Jesus in.\u201d What does that look like?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>The idea that I have specifically for Advent is\u2014we created a set of ornaments, a few years ago, that are called \u201cHis Advent Names.\u201d The ornaments that I\u2019ve created over the last six or seven years are all about the names of Jesus; because if you want to get to know someone, you start by knowing that person\u2019s name. If I\u2019d never met you before, I\u2019d say, \u201cHi, I\u2019m Barbara; what\u2019s your name?\u201d We start by getting to know someone through their names.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe have this series of ornaments that are all the names of Jesus; but this one particular set has four round ornaments that are each a globe, and they each have a different name of Jesus on them. You can open a bag\u2014I have them in bags, here, on the table. Ann was talking about our table being kind of cluttered since there are five of us here. I brought just simple lunch sacks, and I put one of these ornaments in each of the sacks. I glittered a number, 1-4, on the outside. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf I had kids, I would set those up, maybe on the fireplace mantel\/maybe on the kitchen table. On the first Sunday of Advent, we would open the first sack and pull out the ornament and talk about that name\/that name of Jesus: \u201cWhy is it important for us to know that Jesus is the Light? What does that mean? How does that help us know who He is and what He does for us?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>Are we allowed to do this?\u2014I love opening Christmas gifts! [Shaking the bag]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So you pulled out the first globe.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>\u201cJesus is the Light.\u201d Beautiful, too; look at that!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>And then it has the Scripture reference on the back, too.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It has the verse on the back, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>\u201cI am the light of the world.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>When you say it\u2019s a globe; it\u2019s the world.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It\u2019s literally the world; it has the continents on it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes; we\u2019re seeing that Jesus is the Light of the world and have an opportunity to talk about Jesus, not just on a personal level, but on a global level.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Yes; tell us what that conversation would look like.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, each of the sets of ornaments comes with a little book; and there\u2019s a story for each of the four names. The easiest thing to do would be to pull the ornament out, just like Dave did; have one of your kids read the name and read the verse. If the kids aren\u2019t old enough to read, then one of the parents can read the story; or if you have an older elementary or a teenager, you can have them read the story, and then talk about it. Ask a couple of questions to help your kids engage with that name of Jesus.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Having four sacks like this on the mantel, or on the dining room table, throughout the Christmas season, you know what little kids are doing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>\u201cOh!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u201cOh!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right? What are they doing?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u201cIs today the day?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>They can\u2019t wait to open it and, then, to open the <em>next<\/em> one!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right. Every day, they\u2019re going to say, \u201cIs today the day we open the sack?\u201d \u201cNo, you have to wait until Sunday,\u201d or whatever you designate is going to be there. But their attention\/their curiosity is drawn to that, and they\u2019re excited about what\u2019s coming.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>One of the reasons I think that\u2019s so good for us to help our kids feel that is because anticipation is a key part of having faith. What is faith?\u2014well, we\u2019re believing in a God that we can\u2019t see, but we know He\u2019s real. Someday we know we\u2019ll see Him; so if we\u2019re anticipating that, we\u2019re exercising our faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that our kids, as they anticipate each Sunday and opening a new ornament and learning about Jesus, I think that\u2019s beginning to help them understand that our faith is a anticipatory faith. We\u2019re looking forward to God\u2019s redemption of us; and making us whole; and healing us of our diseases, and our sin, and making a new place for us one day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I want to go back to the big picture of what the purpose of being a parent is. Our assignment from Almighty God is to introduce our children to God: \u201cHow do we do that?\u201d We do it, as it talks about in Deuteronomy 6, as we walk by the way, as we rise up, as we lie down, as we write these matters on the doorposts of our house. We don\u2019t have that tradition today, but we do have ornaments. As Christmas comes around, you have the opportunity at that point to begin to remind children of who Jesus Christ really, really is; and take their hand in yours and begin to place it in God\u2019s hand.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat really troubled Barbara\u2014I watched this happen; she began to stew about this\u2014and say, \u201cMan, all of this stuff we have\u2014the candy canes, the reindeer, the Santa Clauses, the snowflakes, all this stuff\u2014what\u2019s it about?!\u201d It\u2019s about a secular holiday. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut this holiday is about the Advent: the first Advent of the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the One who came to this planet to give up His life on my behalf\/your behalf. I think it\u2019s where we begin to implant the reality of the gospel in our children\u2019s lives. It\u2019s not just a story about a baby born in a manger; it\u2019s a grand story about how the universe completely changed its game when Jesus showed up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Can I grab the soapbox from you here for just a second?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Yes!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>I don\u2019t know, but I\u2019m inspired. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Earlier this year, I had the opportunity at our church to preach through the Book of 1 John. It was fascinating to spend weeks, soaking in the writing of 1 John, and seeing that John says, \u201cIf you want to test your faith and see if it\u2019s authentic faith\/to see if you have the real thing, you need to first understand what the message of the gospel is.\u201d He said there are really three tests you look at to determine if your faith is genuine faith. The first is: \u201cDo you have an impulse toward obedience? Are you drawn to wanting to obey God and His Word?\u201d If you don\u2019t, you don\u2019t have the real thing; because God\u2019s children want to obey Him.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe second is: \u201cDo you have an impulse to want to love God and love others?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe third test\u2014and this is what was interesting\u2014the third test is the test of belief. John says things like, \u201cAnyone who says Jesus has come in the flesh is a child of God; anyone who denies that Jesus has come in the flesh is not a child of God.\u201d In our day\u2014this is what I started to recognize\u2014we have people, who are saying: \u201cYou know, the belief stuff is really not what\u2019s most important. What\u2019s most important is that you love other people or that you live a good life.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I think living a good life and loving other people is an essential part of the gospel; but John says, \u201cNo, if the belief part\u2019s not there, you\u2019re not a child of God.\u201d I bring that up because the Christmas season is about the incarnation; it\u2019s about God coming in human flesh and taking on humanity and then living a perfect life and dying a death as our substitute. John says: \u201cif you don\u2019t get that\u2014if you don\u2019t get Jesus right, you don\u2019t have the faith right. You may be a kind, loving person; you may be a person who has good character and lives according to the rules; but if you don\u2019t believe what the Bible teaches about who Jesus is\u2014God in human flesh, come as a baby in a manger\u2014you don\u2019t have authentic faith.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo for us, as parents, to be saying, \u201cWe need to be helping to teach our kids who it is that came at Christmas and understand who He is; because authentic faith <em>requires<\/em> that they come to a point, where they say, \u2018I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.\u2019\u201d John says, \u201cI wrote the Gospel of John: \u2018These are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing in His name you would have eternal life.\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why this is so important for parents to get involved, using tools like this at Christmastime, so our kids don\u2019t just grow up thinking, \u201cWell, being a Christian is about being good or about being loving.\u201d No; it\u2019s about believing in God, and trusting God, and following Him.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>It can become a lifestyle\u2014that this is a conversation, not just during the Advent season, but during our whole lives; that it\u2019s a conversation that we\u2019re talking about Jesus. It\u2019s the <em>greatest<\/em> story there is; and it\u2019s the gospel, and it changes lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Christmas gives you, in terms of volleyball, a set to a spike.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>The season is consumed with something. People may not know Who that something is. You have the chance to tell them it\u2019s about the King!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere\u2019s where I\u2019m so proud of Barbara; because she\u2019s done all the research on this and made this as simple as you can make it so that parents can spike it. When she started studying the names of Christ, I thought, \u201cThat was nice,\u201d\u2014I really did. But then she started saying: \u201cThere are over 300 names in the Bible; some scholars believe 300 names that describe Him!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIs there something about the name that is above all names? Is there something there? What about how the Bible concludes with this rider on a white horse?\u2014it\u2019s the King of kings, the Lord of lords, who has a name on His thigh that no one knows but Him; there\u2019s something about the name. There really is something about the name. I think we\u2019d do well to take our kids and to draw them near to the One\u2014who is above all things; who has all authority in heaven and earth\u2014and remind them that He became God in flesh to die for us. It\u2019s not a fairy-tale; it\u2019s a <em>real<\/em> story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>I just want to encourage parents: \u201cWhen you pull out of a paper sack an ornament that says, \u201cJesus is the Light of the world,\u201d and you think, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t know what to do or what to say. Okay, that\u2019s what it says; now what do I do?\u201d It\u2019s very simple to say to your kids, \u201cSo, what do you think that means?\u201d and see what they say; and then to say, \u201cWhat does it mean that He\u2019s the Light? What\u2019s the difference between light and darkness? What do you think that\u2019s talking about? Why do you think He\u2019s the Light of the world and not just the Light of our home?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAll of a sudden, you\u2019ve had a little conversation that causes them to go: \u201cHuh, I wonder what that does mean. I wonder what that\u2026\u201d and they\u2019re thinking bigger about Jesus at that point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Then you could take it to the next step and say: \u201cYou know what? He said <em>we<\/em> are the light of the world. What does that look like?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes, that\u2019s right. You can follow this trail for as long as it takes you, and then say, \u201cLet\u2019s memorize that.\u201d The verse is right there on the ornament; so \u201cLet\u2019s memorize that.\u201d John 8:12 says: \u201cAgain, Jesus spoke to them, saying, \u2018I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.\u2019\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf your kids are little, just memorize, \u201cI am the light of the world.\u201d If they\u2019re bigger, memorize the whole verse. But you have no idea how planting a seed like that in the heart of a child\u2014\u201cWhoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life,\u201d\u2014you don\u2019t know how that Scripture is going to come back when that child is \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t19 years old and off at college. \u201cWhoever follows Me will not walk in darkness,\u201d and they\u2019ll go: \u201cHuh, that\u2019s just kind of ringing in my ear. The Holy Spirit tapped me on the shoulder with that one.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI know that the idea of Jesus being the Light of the world is something that kind of came alive for you guys when you were in the middle of a cornfield in\u2014was it Illinois or Indiana?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Kentucky.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Kentucky; okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes; Dennis and I were on vacation in the summer of 2017. It was the same week that the total solar eclipse was going to happen in the United States. Of course, there were lots of things in the newspaper and people were talking about it. The weekend before, there was this article in the newspaper. We picked it up and read it; and I thought: \u201cI want to see this thing. We\u2019re on vacation; why not?\u201d I showed it to\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I\u2019ll tell you why not! We were in Michigan!

It was definitely a spontaneous moment, which I don\u2019t have a lot of.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Oh, that\u2019s not true.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Anyway, so he read the article and he said: \u201cOkay, I\u2019m game; let\u2019s do this.\u201d We hopped in our car and drove south. We ended up in a\u2014it was quite a challenge going across the Ohio River, by the way, too, because there\u2019s only one bridge at this place and thousands of cars were trying to cross the Ohio River at the same time.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut we got there; we found a field in Kentucky. We pulled out on this dirt road, parked the car, popped the back of my car up, and we had this nifty little app on our phone that counted down to the solar eclipse. We had just loaded it; it calculates your GPS, where you are, and it tells you exactly when you can look at the sun. We had our little paper glasses\u2014the whole thing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, at first\u2014because we were there 45 minutes ahead, and there was nothing to see\u2014but as it got closer and closer, the anticipation\u2014we\u2019ve been talking about that\u2014the anticipation began to mount. We could start seeing changes, as they predicted, in the environment around us. It got closer and closer; and all of a sudden, our app said, \u201cTen, nine, eight\u2026\u201d It counted down. Dennis and I are just by ourselves. Here we are\u2014out in this field; the two of us\u2014we\u2019re staring at the sky with these paper glasses on, and we\u2019re watching what\u2019s left of the sun go away.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAll of a sudden, it was, \u201cOne, zero,\u201d and it was black. We could see nothing with our glasses. And then the app said, \u201cYou may take your glasses off.\u201d We both took our glasses off, and I cannot tell you how <em>amazing<\/em> it was. I was absolutely speechless; I started crying. I read in the newspaper that people cry over this; I thought, \u201cThat\u2019s the silliest thing I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d But I did! \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was just overcome, because you cannot look at the sun and see the corona. The corona is the glory of the sun. When we saw the glory of the sun\u2014and I think the reason it was emotional is because, instantly, we knew that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to be like to see Jesus. What happened to the disciples when they saw Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration?\u2014they were in awe. They fell to their feet, because they saw His glory.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe can\u2019t see His glory on earth; but when we saw the sun, and we saw that corona, it was stunning; it was gorgeous; it was overwhelming. It made me realize Jesus is the sun of righteousness\u2014He\u2019s called that in Malachi. When He comes back, He will come back in His glory; and we will see Him as He is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You guys already have reservations for 2024.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>We do\u20142024.

what\u2019s your number-one priority? What\u2019s the most important thing you should be doing? Here\u2019s Dennis Rainey.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Our assignment from Almighty God is to introduce our children to God: \u201cHow do we do that?\u201d Well, we do it, as it talks about in Deuteronomy 6, as we walk by the way, as we rise up, as we lie down. As Christmas comes around, you have the opportunity at that point to begin to remind children of who Jesus Christ really is, and take their hand in yours and begin to place it in God\u2019s hand.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Monday, November 25<sup>th<\/sup>. Our hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson; I'm Bob Lepine. Dennis and Rainey Barbara are back with us today to talk about how, as parents, we can make the most of the next 30 days leading up to Christmas. Stay with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us on the Monday edition. Once upon a time, there was a day, back in the history of <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>, when there was an embargo\u2014you couldn\u2019t talk about one holiday until another one was past. You couldn\u2019t talk about Christmas until Thanksgiving had come around. Thanksgiving, of course, is this Thursday.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHowever, the rules have changed; and part of it is because we have a late Thanksgiving this year, which means you have a late start to the Christmas season; and Advent is going to be here before we know it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGuess who else is here before we know it? Dennis and Barbara Rainey are back with us, again, on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave and Ann: <\/strong>Woo-hoo! [Laughter] \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>I like it!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I was going to ask if I could say something about why the rules have changed! [Laughter] The one who made the rule is gone, and it wasn\u2019t me!\u2014it was sweet Barbara!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Except I didn\u2019t make it a <em>rule<\/em>; I just said, \u201cI would prefer\u2026\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>That\u2019s a rule. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I learned; yes; yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Guys, welcome back. Always good to have you here on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, thank you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Again, we know this is a time of year that is important and meaningful for you. For listeners who don\u2019t know\u2014over the last nine months, you have continued to write and to speak; and the \u201cEver Thine Home\u201d blog continues. I still get emails regularly\u2014yes, I am on the email list. Folks who\u2019d like more information about what you\u2019re doing at Ever Thine Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> can go to our website at FamilyLifeToday.com.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut because Advent is about to start, and it\u2019s going to start just a couple of days after Thanksgiving is over this year, we thought we ought to help families get ready for, Barbara, what you think is one of the most strategic seasons in a family\u2019s life, year in and year out. I just have to say\u2014as you have adult children and you ask them to reflect back on their childhood memories, the things that most often will come up are holiday memories and vacation memories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Traditions.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes; it\u2019s those special celebrations where the family kind of turns their attention to one another. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s part of the reason why you think, when it comes to the Thanksgiving season\/the Christmas season, moms and dads ought to say, \u201cWe have a gospel opportunity here, and we ought not to just let this slide by.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>You said it perfectly, because I have believed that for years. Even when we were raising our kids, I remember thinking: \u201cI need to do something to help them understand what Christmas is about\u2014that Christmas is about Jesus. It\u2019s not about Santa and the reindeer and all these other things. How do I do that?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was so busy and overwhelmed with life that I had a hard time figuring out what that was. I knew there was something missing in our Christmas celebrations. In my empty-nest years was when I finally had the bandwidth in my life to be able to think through, \u201cHow do I help families bring Jesus back into the holidays in a way that I used to want it but couldn\u2019t find it?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBecause Advent is coming up\u2014it\u2019s this Sunday\u2014and it used to sneak up on me <em>all the time<\/em>. All of a sudden, I would realize, \u201cWe missed the first week; we\u2019re already behind.\u201d I would, of course, beat myself up for that. But we\u2019re going to get ahead of it for you\/for listeners today and say, \u201cAdvent is coming up, and we have an idea for you of something that you could do with your family that would help you put the focus on Christ this Christmas.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>The first Sunday in Advent is this Sunday. Some folks aren\u2019t familiar with the Advent season, because it\u2019s not been a part of their traditional church calendar; but for years, Christians have marked the four Sundays leading up to Christmas as the four Sundays in Advent, taking time to highlight different aspects of the incarnation at a church service. I don\u2019t know that families necessarily made Advent central to what they were doing at home, but that\u2019s a part of what you\u2019re hoping families will do; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, because a lot of churches don\u2019t have that emphasis, I think it\u2019s a great opportunity for families to put that emphasis in your home. It doesn\u2019t mean that you have to do a lot\/you have to add a lot, because everybody\u2019s busy at Christmas anyway. This is not that hard to do, and I\u2019m trying to create something that\u2019s easy for moms to just add into the routine.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, and if you think to yourself, \u201cI don\u2019t need one more thing,\u201d stop and ask yourself, \u201cOf all the things I have, what are the ones that ought to be there and what are the ones I can drop?\u201d I think sometimes the tyranny of the culture robs us from the opportunities to talk about what we ought to be talking about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>I think, especially as young moms, I know that I wanted to bring Jesus in; but you\u2019re so taxed. You\u2019re trying to meet everybody\u2019s needs; you\u2019re Christmas shopping; you\u2019re decorating; so for someone to say, \u201cHere are some things that you could do to bring into your home,\u201d that is so helpful\u2014like: \u201cYou\u2019re helping us to bring Jesus in.\u201d What does that look like?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>The idea that I have specifically for Advent is\u2014we created a set of ornaments, a few years ago, that are called \u201cHis Advent Names.\u201d The ornaments that I\u2019ve created over the last six or seven years are all about the names of Jesus; because if you want to get to know someone, you start by knowing that person\u2019s name. If I\u2019d never met you before, I\u2019d say, \u201cHi, I\u2019m Barbara; what\u2019s your name?\u201d We start by getting to know someone through their names.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe have this series of ornaments that are all the names of Jesus; but this one particular set has four round ornaments that are each a globe, and they each have a different name of Jesus on them. You can open a bag\u2014I have them in bags, here, on the table. Ann was talking about our table being kind of cluttered since there are five of us here. I brought just simple lunch sacks, and I put one of these ornaments in each of the sacks. I glittered a number, 1-4, on the outside. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf I had kids, I would set those up, maybe on the fireplace mantel\/maybe on the kitchen table. On the first Sunday of Advent, we would open the first sack and pull out the ornament and talk about that name\/that name of Jesus: \u201cWhy is it important for us to know that Jesus is the Light?

The easiest thing to do would be to pull the ornament out, just like Dave did; have one of your kids read the name and read the verse. If the kids aren\u2019t old enough to read, then one of the parents can read the story; or if you have an older elementary or a teenager, you can have them read the story, and then talk about it. Ask a couple of questions to help your kids engage with that name of Jesus.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Having four sacks like this on the mantel, or on the dining room table, throughout the Christmas season, you know what little kids are doing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>\u201cOh!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u201cOh!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right?

What is faith?\u2014well, we\u2019re believing in a God that we can\u2019t see, but we know He\u2019s real. Someday we know we\u2019ll see Him; so if we\u2019re anticipating that, we\u2019re exercising our faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that our kids, as they anticipate each Sunday and opening a new ornament and learning about Jesus, I think that\u2019s beginning to help them understand that our faith is a anticipatory faith. We\u2019re looking forward to God\u2019s redemption of us; and making us whole; and healing us of our diseases, and our sin, and making a new place for us one day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I want to go back to the big picture of what the purpose of being a parent is. Our assignment from Almighty God is to introduce our children to God: \u201cHow do we do that?\u201d We do it, as it talks about in Deuteronomy 6, as we walk by the way, as we rise up, as we lie down, as we write these matters on the doorposts of our house. We don\u2019t have that tradition today, but we do have ornaments. As Christmas comes around, you have the opportunity at that point to begin to remind children of who Jesus Christ really, really is; and take their hand in yours and begin to place it in God\u2019s hand.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat really troubled Barbara\u2014I watched this happen; she began to stew about this\u2014and say, \u201cMan, all of this stuff we have\u2014the candy canes, the reindeer, the Santa Clauses, the snowflakes, all this stuff\u2014what\u2019s it about?!\u201d It\u2019s about a secular holiday. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut this holiday is about the Advent: the first Advent of the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the One who came to this planet to give up His life on my behalf\/your behalf. I think it\u2019s where we begin to implant the reality of the gospel in our children\u2019s lives. It\u2019s not just a story about a baby born in a manger; it\u2019s a grand story about how the universe completely changed its game when Jesus showed up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Can I grab the soapbox from you here for just a second?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Yes!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>I don\u2019t know, but I\u2019m inspired. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Earlier this year, I had the opportunity at our church to preach through the Book of 1 John. It was fascinating to spend weeks, soaking in the writing of 1 John, and seeing that John says, \u201cIf you want to test your faith and see if it\u2019s authentic faith\/to see if you have the real thing, you need to first understand what the message of the gospel is.\u201d He said there are really three tests you look at to determine if your faith is genuine faith. The first is: \u201cDo you have an impulse toward obedience? Are you drawn to wanting to obey God and His Word?\u201d If you don\u2019t, you don\u2019t have the real thing; because God\u2019s children want to obey Him.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe second is: \u201cDo you have an impulse to want to love God and love others?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe third test\u2014and this is what was interesting\u2014the third test is the test of belief. John says things like, \u201cAnyone who says Jesus has come in the flesh is a child of God; anyone who denies that Jesus has come in the flesh is not a child of God.\u201d In our day\u2014this is what I started to recognize\u2014we have people, who are saying: \u201cYou know, the belief stuff is really not what\u2019s most important. What\u2019s most important is that you love other people or that you live a good life.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I think living a good life and loving other people is an essential part of the gospel; but John says, \u201cNo, if the belief part\u2019s not there, you\u2019re not a child of God.\u201d I bring that up because the Christmas season is about the incarnation; it\u2019s about God coming in human flesh and taking on humanity and then living a perfect life and dying a death as our substitute. John says: \u201cif you don\u2019t get that\u2014if you don\u2019t get Jesus right, you don\u2019t have the faith right. You may be a kind, loving person; you may be a person who has good character and lives according to the rules; but if you don\u2019t believe what the Bible teaches about who Jesus is\u2014God in human flesh, come as a baby in a manger\u2014you don\u2019t have authentic faith.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo for us, as parents, to be saying, \u201cWe need to be helping to teach our kids who it is that came at Christmas and understand who He is; because authentic faith <em>requires<\/em> that they come to a point, where they say, \u2018I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.\u2019\u201d John says, \u201cI wrote the Gospel of John: \u2018These are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing in His name you would have eternal life.\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why this is so important for parents to get involved, using tools like this at Christmastime, so our kids don\u2019t just grow up thinking, \u201cWell, being a Christian is about being good or about being loving.\u201d No; it\u2019s about believing in God, and trusting God, and following Him.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>It can become a lifestyle\u2014that this is a conversation, not just during the Advent season, but during our whole lives; that it\u2019s a conversation that we\u2019re talking about Jesus. It\u2019s the <em>greatest<\/em> story there is; and it\u2019s the gospel, and it changes lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Christmas gives you, in terms of volleyball, a set to a spike.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>The season is consumed with something.

When she started studying the names of Christ, I thought, \u201cThat was nice,\u201d\u2014I really did. But then she started saying: \u201cThere are over 300 names in the Bible; some scholars believe 300 names that describe Him!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIs there something about the name that is above all names? Is there something there? What about how the Bible concludes with this rider on a white horse?\u2014it\u2019s the King of kings, the Lord of lords, who has a name on His thigh that no one knows but Him; there\u2019s something about the name. There really is something about the name. I think we\u2019d do well to take our kids and to draw them near to the One\u2014who is above all things; who has all authority in heaven and earth\u2014and remind them that He became God in flesh to die for us. It\u2019s not a fairy-tale; it\u2019s a <em>real<\/em> story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>I just want to encourage parents: \u201cWhen you pull out of a paper sack an ornament that says, \u201cJesus is the Light of the world,\u201d and you think, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t know what to do or what to say. Okay, that\u2019s what it says; now what do I do?\u201d It\u2019s very simple to say to your kids, \u201cSo, what do you think that means?\u201d and see what they say; and then to say, \u201cWhat does it mean that He\u2019s the Light? What\u2019s the difference between light and darkness? What do you think that\u2019s talking about? Why do you think He\u2019s the Light of the world and not just the Light of our home?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAll of a sudden, you\u2019ve had a little conversation that causes them to go: \u201cHuh, I wonder what that does mean. I wonder what that\u2026\u201d and they\u2019re thinking bigger about Jesus at that point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Then you could take it to the next step and say: \u201cYou know what?

You can follow this trail for as long as it takes you, and then say, \u201cLet\u2019s memorize that.\u201d The verse is right there on the ornament; so \u201cLet\u2019s memorize that.\u201d John 8:12 says: \u201cAgain, Jesus spoke to them, saying, \u2018I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.\u2019\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf your kids are little, just memorize, \u201cI am the light of the world.\u201d If they\u2019re bigger, memorize the whole verse.

It was the same week that the total solar eclipse was going to happen in the United States. Of course, there were lots of things in the newspaper and people were talking about it. The weekend before, there was this article in the newspaper. We picked it up and read it; and I thought: \u201cI want to see this thing.

We pulled out on this dirt road, parked the car, popped the back of my car up, and we had this nifty little app on our phone that counted down to the solar eclipse. We had just loaded it; it calculates your GPS, where you are, and it tells you exactly when you can look at the sun. We had our little paper glasses\u2014the whole thing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, at first\u2014because we were there 45 minutes ahead, and there was nothing to see\u2014but as it got closer and closer, the anticipation\u2014we\u2019ve been talking about that\u2014the anticipation began to mount. We could start seeing changes, as they predicted, in the environment around us. It got closer and closer; and all of a sudden, our app said, \u201cTen, nine, eight\u2026\u201d It counted down. Dennis and I are just by ourselves. Here we are\u2014out in this field; the two of us\u2014we\u2019re staring at the sky with these paper glasses on, and we\u2019re watching what\u2019s left of the sun go away.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAll of a sudden, it was, \u201cOne, zero,\u201d and it was black. We could see nothing with our glasses. And then the app said, \u201cYou may take your glasses off.\u201d We both took our glasses off, and I cannot tell you how <em>amazing<\/em> it was. I was absolutely speechless; I started crying. I read in the newspaper that people cry over this; I thought, \u201cThat\u2019s the silliest thing I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d But I did! \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was just overcome, because you cannot look at the sun and see the corona. The corona is the glory of the sun. When we saw the glory of the sun\u2014and I think the reason it was emotional is because, instantly, we knew that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to be like to see Jesus. What happened to the disciples when they saw Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration?\u2014they were in awe. They fell to their feet, because they saw His glory.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe can\u2019t see His glory on earth; but when we saw the sun, and we saw that corona, it was stunning; it was gorgeous; it was overwhelming.
