Teaching From Christmas Past with Howard Dayton

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. As Christians living in a materialistic society, we must remember to celebrate for the right reason. Today, former MoneyWise host Howard Dayton joins Rob West to celebrate the birth of our Savior! Our opening verse is from Luke 2, of course. It goes on to say: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you - Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Today, Howard shares Christmas memories and traditions of celebrating the birth of Jesus and offers advice for parents about teaching the real reason for the season: Be intentional in teaching our children and grandchildren that the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas is that we are honoring the Lord Jesus for leaving heaven to come to earth as a helpless child and that He grew up to live a perfect sinless live, in order to die as a sacrifice for us so we would be accepted by God! On this program, Rob also answers listener questions: How do you determine where to give your charitable gifts? Would it be wise to take out a collateral loan for investment purposes?
