This time of year brings with it a lot of hustle and bustle to many. I see the houses decorated, lit porches, packed stores and parties but are they celebrating the birth of Jesus or just celebrating to celebrate? Do they know the true meaning of Christmas? The same people who reject the gospel will buy presents and bake cookies and participate in the office Pollyanna yet shun your sharing of the Word. A small local town where I live is being crucified because they have a banner up that reads, "Keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas" and the freedom from religion foundation argues that it promotes the Christian Faith and is demanding it be removed. This saddens my heart that a man in a red suit who flies across the sky to deliver presents to the entire world is believable yet the One Solitary Man who came to deliver the greatest gift of all and give us all life is denied. I can only pray that we believers unite together and pray that the lost be found and that the seeds of salvation you plant be watered and nourished in His time. It is in His name I pray, Amen.
Matthew 1: 20-21
