During this Christmas season, as we ponder things for which we are thankful, let us not forget the opportunities to minister creation evangelism.

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor" (Ephesians 5:1-2).

"Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20).

"For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you" (John 13:15).

Schools, businesses, and institutions are all well advised to develop and live by a "statement of purpose" if they are to be successful, evaluating each activity by its effectiveness in fulfilling that purpose.

"Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God" (Romans 1:1).
