It takes some work for me to avoid both sarcasm and taking the offensive. But when someone says to me “I like Jesus, just not the Bible”—on a good day, I respond, “Tell me what you like about Jesus.” How would you respond?

It’s Christmas Eve, and for many little ones, the waiting is almost over. When I was growing up, Christmas Eve was when we put up the tree and more. Our tradition was born, in part, from celebrating Advent, that season of preparation, that season of waiting. Our tradition also helped to keep my parents sane.

Beyond the slogans, there is a deep ache in our hearts; it is an ache for our family and loved ones who do not yet accept this child in the manger as Lord. That ache is magnified during the Christmas season. What do we do?
