Christmas Delivers HOPE

Christmas never fails to deliver HOPE.  This week during our special focus on hope, I want to tell you about Evalyn who was born to a crack-addicted, alcoholic mom.  She never knew her dad.  Her life was a string of tragedies.  Pregnant at fifteen, two abortions, one suicide attempt, and employment as a high-end woman of the evening.  Pregnant again, she sought help from a pro-life pregnancy center.  Evalyn said, “When I chose life for my baby, I was choosing life for myself too!”  After she surrendered her life to Christ the change was dramatic.  She finished college and married.  First Peter 1:3 is her passage of hope.  “In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living HOPE through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
