“The Bible says it’s more blessed to give than to receive, and boy do I understand that because in many ways it’s more easy for me to give a gift than it is to receive one.” Join Jim Lyon and Jennifer Wilson this week on Viewpoint as they continue their mini-series on Gifts for Christmas, even though we’re ahead of Thanksgiving. But this week we’re going to talk about how to receive a gift, and how do we receive the gift of Christmas?

Give the Gift of Hope

Give Thanks,
Sponsor A Day of Hope

As the end of the year approaches, we at Christians Broadcasting Hope (CBH) join with you in reflecting upon the blessings of God over the past year. No doubt, we have much for which to be thankful. First and foremost, we thank God for his redemptive love shown through Jesus Christ. We also thank God for the privilege of sharing in the ministry of spreading the hope of Jesus through broadcasting.

This is an especially exciting time for the ministries of CBH.

In February we will dedicate new and expanded facilities and personnel in Kenya, East Africa.
Our India team reports growing contacts with seekers of Jesus stemming from our recently launched Hindi broadcast. God is working in spite of the dark cloud of rising Hindu fundamentalist violence against Christians in the very Indian state where our broadcasts originate.

Experience the CBH Retreat to The Cove

“There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven … a time to plant and a time to harvest … a time to grieve and a time to dance … a time to be quiet and a time to speak up … a time to tear down and a time to rebuild …” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-7)

With these words, Solomon famously captures the complex weave of everyday life, the vividly colored threads that are woven into the tapestry of everyone’s journey, the balanced pattern of contrasts that give depth and breadth to everyone’s story. They are ancient ideas that still ring true. They speak of seasons—a season for everything. They remind us that we must, with intention, bring balance to our lives, enjoying each season, defining each moment, holding each day sacred, one after the other, even though some will bring tears and others will bring joy. Both kinds of days are necessary; both can be woven together by Heaven’s hand for our good.
