“What has happened to the old-fashioned, spiritual Christmas? The cause is our disregard for Advent. The church set aside this four-week pre-Christmas season as a time of spiritual preparation for Christ’s coming. It is a time of quiet anticipation. If Christ is going to come again into our hearts, there must be repentance. Without repentance, our hearts will be so full of worldly things that there will be “no room in the inn” for Christ to be born again…We have not the joy of celebration. Which is the joy, but joy of anticipation.” John Brokhoff
