Searching for Christmas: What If There's More to the Story Than You Thought?

by J.D. Greear

And part of what it means is that God is someone who is all that his people need, and that there is no lack in them that he cannot overcome.

The truth is, each of us has pursued a life of conflict with God. We don’t want him to be in charge. We don’t want to need him. We don’t want him to get to state the rules. We don’t want him to get the praise. No—we want to be in charge, we want to be independent, we want to decide what’s right and wrong, and we want to enjoy the praise.
