    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,299 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK INTRO. There are so many beautiful Christmas hymns. But for some reason the words & music of a Christmas hymn that is not too well known, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the terrible days of the Civil War, seem to touch me the ...read more
