“There has got to be more to the holiday season than this.”

Have you ever thought this way? I have – and I do – every year, around this time.

While there is nothing inherently wrong with our many traditions and celebrations, it is beneficial to repeatedly remind ourselves what this season is primarily about: that Christ Jesus came into the world to redeem sinners; to set free those captive to their sin and their situations. 

And just as Jesus came into the world, he has also commissioned his followers to be his agents to continue what he began. (John 20.21)  

In 2006 Advent Conspiracy was birthed, with the aim to remind the world what really matters during the Advent-Christmas season; and to urge Christians to embrace four simple but key tenets:

• Worship Fully
• Spend Less
• Give More
• Love All

Let’s consider how we can make a difference in some small way. Let’s all join in this most wonderful Conspiracy.
