    What would happen if we took all of the Religious elements out of Christmas?

    Have you noticed that every year people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” then have presentations at school that make no mention of the Manger or the Wise Men let alone the Christ Child.

    The essentials of the Christmas story are present in the deliverance of the man who had the Legion.

    It’s been said that “Familiarity breeds contempt.” Now, that’s not always the case. Certainly, in a close relationship, like a marriage, intimate, loving familiarity becomes one of the “load-bearing walls.” It’s what keeps the structure standing upright. It’s what supports the weight and ...read more

    If Satan had prevented Christmas from coming, mankind would have never known righteousness, impartiality, faithfulness or peace.

    “What if Christmas Never Came?” Isaiah 11:1-10 Dr. Seuss was one of the greatest story tellers of all time. My favorite of course is “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The Grinch hated the Who’s so badly that he wanted them to be as unhappy as he was. Doesn’t that sound vaguely familiar? The ...read more
