A Christmas Message from Minnesota Family Council
Christmas_WebBanner_2015.jpg
Dear John,
Jesus Christ came to save sinners. He came as a child in Bethlehem,
fully God and fully man. On December 25th, we celebrate his birth.
These are the simple facts of Christmas, but not the whole story.
Christmas is world-changing. Christmas, God coming to dwell with man,
is the reason we have ultimate hope and confidence that our struggle
is not in vain. We know that God values the lives of children, because
He came to Earth as one. We know that God values families, because He
chose to save the world through the holy family of Jesus Christ.
It gets dark and cold here in Minnesota in December. But our hearts
are warm and full - I call it Christmas confidence! We believe and
trust that God will do great things in 2020 - in our hearts and in our
state. Minnesota Family Council exists because we trust God's
promises. We invite you to join us - click here to contribute to our
2020 mission

Another thing that we're hopeful for? Our 2020 Annual Dinner with Abby
Johnson! This is a huge deal - Abby's story of leaving Planned
Parenthood, finding Christ, and working on the front lines of the
abortion conflict to save lives is riveting! Will you join us on May
11, 2020? As of today, registration is open! Click here, or scroll

With God's blessings for you and your family,

How The Incarnation Changes Politics
Screen Shot 2019-12-20 at 4.23.20 PM.png
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; those
who dwelt in the land of deep darkness, on them has light
shone." - Isaiah 9:2
Christmas is the time for remembering the incarnation and its
significance-the fact that we were rebels, dead in our sin, but
God broke into our darkness. God owed us nothing, yet he chose to take
on human flesh and to cover our sin by his perfect life and death. In
a world full of sorrow, violence, and evil, the baby in the manger
brought joy, peace, and hope. That incredible reality, and the fact
that through Christ, God is reconciling us to himself shapes every
element of how we interact with the world around us, including how we
approach cultural engagement.
It isn't a stretch of the imagination to believe that everyone,
at some point, has asked, "Why is the world like this? Why is
there so much brokenness? Why so much darkness?" There is reason
to grieve the brokenness of the world, but we must not forget that,
thanks to the incarnation, the darkness that we see and feel around us
has already been broken. As the old Christmas carol reminds us, there
is "A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder
breaks a new and glorious morn!" At the incarnation, a new day
has dawned.

Family Beacon.
