A  From Dr. Tom,

The simple message of Christmas is God in Jesus Christ with us.  I offer up these pianistic reflections to commemorate our Savior's blessed birth (Volume 3)which led to his walking amongst us and ultimately offering the once-for-all sacrifice of a gruesome death on a cross which ushered in the blessed hope of resurrection and eternal life with God if we in simple faith trust in Him as our Lord and Savior (Volumes 1 and 2).  May your life be resurrected daily in Christ by dying to self as you seek to play out the Lord's Great Commission.  Jesus came as the ultimate Joy-Bringer and He told us in John 15:11 that He came that our joy might be full.  The life you lead amongst your universe of influence may be the only "Gospel of Jesus Christ" that your family, friends, neighbors, including your "enemies" may ever "read" during their lifetime.  May you boldly and joyfully proclaim your witness amongst us.  And may God bless you richly...and Shalom, y'all.  "And whatsoever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto Man" (Colossians 3:23).
