I almost choked on my coffee when I saw the email from the high school: &#8216;Outstanding balance on Malachi&#8217;s account.&#8217; My mind raced. What on earth could it be? After some digging, I discovered the culprit: a missing school laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It turned out Malachi&#8217;s original laptop developed a glitch. While it was being repaired, he received a temporary replacement. The First Laptop was fixed and returned to him, and then we received a bill for the replacement Laptop 300.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panic seized me. &#8216;Absolutely not!&#8217; I declared. Malachi had diligently tried to turn in the\u00a0 laptop, bombarding the media center with inquiries. Finally, his efforts paid off. He turned everything in. Relief washed over me, only to be replaced by another email: &#8216;Unpaid laptop balance remains.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frustration bubbled up. &#8216;He turned it in!&#8217; Malachi insisted. &#8216;I must have forgotten to document it.&#8217; A trip to the media center confirmed his story. The bill vanished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This whole ordeal, though stressful, became a powerful reminder of God&#8217;s grace. Just like the school bill, our sin debt is a burden we can&#8217;t shoulder alone. The wages of sin, as the Bible says, is death. We&#8217;re all missing laptops, wandering aimlessly with an unpayable price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here&#8217;s the good news: Jesus stepped in and paid our debt in full. He took on our burden, erasing the bill not just for me, but for everyone who believes in him. That&#8217;s the true meaning of Christmas: God&#8217;s unfathomable grace, freely offered to anyone who accepts it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So this Christmas, let&#8217;s share this incredible message with the world. Let&#8217;s shout from the rooftops that the lost and found has been found, and the debt has been paid. Let&#8217;s spread the joy of God&#8217;s grace, one life at a time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>-Ryan<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:149\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Burning Question:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you tell us about a Holiday act of kindness?<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:149\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bible Quiz<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:149\">Question:\u00a0 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who cooked an angel a meal that included a pot of Broth?<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:149\">Answer: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gideon Judges 6:19<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Storytime: <a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercy-had-a-quandry.mp3\">Mercy had a Quandry!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Just-one-more-thing_122723.mp3\">Just one More Thing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Day is it?
