Christmas Begins with ChristSample

By the time Joseph had his dream, these ancient words were already seven centuries old. They had been passed down from generation to generation over the years. God's promises can take a very long time coming. It takes faith, hope and patience to believe that they will ever be fulfilled. Tearfund have been campaigning on issues of climate justice for many years, for the world's poorest affected worst by climate change. We have to be faithful in our campaigning, because long-term problems need long term solutions. Please pray for those campaigning on this issue that God would bless them with faith and patience as they work for the world's poorest. - www.tearfund.org/campaigns Richard Littledale is the pastor of Teddington Baptist Church and blogs at http://richardlittledale.me.uk
