Signs of the Times

with contributions from Melvin E. Wheatley, Colin Dyster

Rev. Melvin E. Wheatley in The Spire of the Westwood Community Methodist Church Los Angeles, California

Christmas is the season in which we discover how close God has been to us all the rest of the year. It is the period during which we pause long enough ... to listen to the still small voice....

Herein lies the special significance of the season. It is not that God draws closer to us at Christmas than before. He can never come any nearer than He always is.... His love [and] ... His power never cease to support us.
