Today our friends at The Gospel Coalition have published a new article Bobby wrote with our pastor at Sojourn, Daniel Montgomery, called “Consider Skipping ‘Christmas Season’ This Year.” This article talks about the importance of watching and waiting for Christ’s Second Coming, and the significance of the season of Advent on the church liturgical calendar. An excerpt:
