“Don’t confuse justice and mercy. Justice and mercy are not symmetric characteristics of God. By definition God always, every time, has to act justly. But equity is not a requirement of mercy. God doesn’t have to show mercy.” — Dave Gobbett

Download your free Christmas playlist by TGC editor Brett McCracken!
It’s that time of year, when the world falls in love—with Christmas music! If you’re ready to immerse yourself in the sounds of the season, we’ve got a brand-new playlist for you. The Gospel Coalition’s free 2025 Christmas playlist is full of joyful, festive, and nostalgic songs to help you celebrate the sweetness of this sacred season.
The 75 songs on this playlist are all recordings from at least 20 years ago—most of them from further back in the 1950s and 1960s. Each song has been thoughtfully selected by TGC Arts & Culture Editor Brett McCracken to cultivate a fun but meaningful mix of vintage Christmas vibes.
