    Trampling Thanksgiving (Run, Turkey, Run) Psalm 100:1-5 I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but I don’t like to be controversial and cause a stink or alienate people. I will. And I have, and I probably will again… today… but I don’t like to do it… I ...read more

    Our rush to commercialize Christmas, even before Thanksgiving, shows that we have become unthankful for what we have, and greedy for more. Christmas has trampled Thanksgiving.

     | 292 views

    In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

    I don’t think any of us are really ready to give up the traditions of this holiday season. So why not think about what we love about this time of the year? (Based on an article by Rev. Thomas Shepherd) ________________________________________

    How do you like this time of the year? Shopping center parking lots clogged with car headlights like a starry night sky in the country. Mindless, but welcoming music drifting over hordes of harried, hopeful, hesitantly happy holiday hunters. Shop ’til you’re top-heavy, arms full of packages, ...read more

    This catchy slogan has appearred on commercial Christmas material for ages. The implications of the statement bothers me. What does it mean? What is it’s implication for us?
