The Ghosts of Christmas

by Scott Ancarrow


The Weary World Rejoices Devotional

Matthew 2:13-23

The Love of God 

The Emptiness of False "Loves" 

The Ghosts of Christmas 

The Love of God

It is remarkable that God chose to reveal Himself to humanity... through the incarnation. Yet, what is even more astonishing is that the infinite God chose to dwell in the hearts of limited human beings.

- Rula Rishmawi

Our Labor of Love

Our "Egypts"

Our "Bethlehems"

“The church’s prophetic witness to an outrage culture is to be a people who know how to weep together at the pain and injustice in the world (both past and present) and at the reality of our own sin and brokenness.”

― Tish Harrison Warren, Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep

"Christ Under the Rubble"  - Dr. Isaac Munther,Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bethlehem, 2023 Christmas Liturgy

“I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly.” 

Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D. December, 1843
