City on a Hill – Christmas Program 2015

I had an unusual experience at the Neal’s Christmas program downtown on last Saturday (2015) just before Julie and I left out of town. Never outside of this place have I ever felt a compulsion really to get up and speak or to say something, but there was so much joy in that place and in that night of celebrating the life, the birth of Christ. I thought that it created such a stark contrast here on a dark street in Nashville in kind of a dark, seedy building, there is no reason to think that you open those doors and find an expression of light and life, but it was certainly there.
