What if Almighty God made Christmas lists like some of us?—Or, at least like some of us did when we were kids (FYI, if you are over 18 and still make these lists for mommy and daddy…STOP! For the love of God, you’re embarrassing yourself!). You know the kind of list I’m talking about…
Dear Santa,
I’ve been extra good this year. Don’t bother looking too close. I’m sure you’re very busy this time of year—trust me—I’m talking Mother Teresa good! Anyway, I decided to keep things really simple in order to help facilitate delivery. Cash is always best. If this is problematic, a new ipad, iphone, ipod, and $1,000 loaded iTunes card wouldn’t suck.
You Rock Santa!

Thankfully, God wants what’s best for us, and what is good and right and loving. So His lists don’t make us want to throw up in our mouths. But you know what is a bit odd? And I’m talking Bizarro World Weird. What’s odd beyond all reason is that most of us manage to go to great pains to give God the polar opposite of what He desires…year after year after year.
That’s Cra-Cra!
This year, at Summit Church—we’re going to great pains to give Jesus the only thing He ever wanted for Christmas…the redgift each of us either holds onto with an iron grip or freely gives to the one who made us.
This Christmas Eve at Summit Church, I’m praying that tons of people will lay their redgifts at the throne of God—where Jesus will increase their value a million fold!
