As an aside, our church enjoys utilizing the advent wreath as part of our Christmas/Advent celebration. Ed- good points on both posts!

One thing Dr. Sproul misses is the vitality of Advent. In that season of anticipating the coming of Christ (in glory and in judgement), we are reminded so deeply of our need for a Savior. Without which, of course, the acknowledgement and even celebration of the incarnate God is all but neutered. So what if God became man, if I have no need of Him? Perhaps Dr. Sproul's thesis ought to be, "Christ never left Christmas-- but if the world about us leaves Advent, then they have no need of Christ." Good find– thanks for the link.
