CHRISTMAS INTERVIEW WITH NICOLE C. Mullen
We recently had the opportunity to
sit down with Christian recording
artist Nicole C. Mullen to talk
about her Christmas album, along
with her favorite Christmas songs
and traditions. Here is what she had
to say –
Tell me a bit about your Christmas album.
The album is called “Christmas in Black and White,”
and has a double meaning. For one, Christmas is
about what is celebrated on the pages of scripture.
The true meaning of Christmas is black and white
just like the rest of scripture. There’s no grey area.
Also, my family – many of whom were featured on
the album with me – is comprised of a whole canvas
of different colors – from black to white to tan – so
for me Christmas is about all different colors of skin,
not just one shade.
What is your favorite song on the album?
There are too many! It’s like trying to choose a
favorite child. One song I really enjoy is “The
Christmas Song” because I sang that one with my
dad. Some other favorites would be “Lamb Of God”
and “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”
How about your favorite current Christmas
tradition?
Well, on Christmas Eve we all get together and read
the Christmas story from the Bible, and then we each
get to open one present. The rest have to wait until
Christmas morning!

a further blessing to Israel and make
a difference around the world? Why
not consider increasing your donations by just 1%? Your Daystar has
some exciting plans for 2014, and
we want the blessings of God to flow
your way too as we partner together.
Dear Friend of Daystar,
The end of the year is almost here,

<< The Cradle, the Cross and the Crown >>
Philippines 2:5-11
by Alan Bullock
The deception of sin had reached its
height. The Father looking down saw
the suffering and misery, and moved
with compassion, answered in the form
of a Cradle, a Cross and a Crown. He
arranged for a perfect sacrificial Lamb
to begin life in the cradle of a lowly
manger. This cradle was the Genesis
of Christianity. He grew to manhood
scarcely being noticed for 30 years,
spotless and sinless. As He began his
anointed ministry, hypocritical leaders
were quickly motivated to plot his
death. There never was, isn’t, and never
will be another spotless, sinless and
perfect One in life and deed who could
stand in the gap for all of humanity as
God’s perfect Lamb and become the
substitute for our sins on the Cross –
the pinnacle of sacrifice. They didn’t
realize that their evil plan fulfilled God’s
purpose for his son. His conquering
of sin, sickness, poverty and death
entitles him to the crown – the climax of
sovereignty, befitting the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. Is it any wonder why
we hail Him as the Matchless-Redeemer?
Is it any wonder that Christians
understand and celebrate the true
meaning of Christmas? Why, because
of the Cradle, the Cross and the Crown!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
