I don't think there's any doubt that there's a war on Christmas.  This war is part of a much larger one – the war on Christianity.   I won't spend my keystrokes listing examples of this reality.

Instead, I'll focus on this simple truth: if the primary message of Christmas is lost to our culture – then all that remains are secular seasonal songs (many of which I love) and consumerism.  If that's all Christmas is, how boring!  There's no magic. No mystical. No wonder. No message.

I am happy to report that Christmas will NEVER lose its message of the Savior/Sacrifice being born in Bethlehem!  Regardless of how secular culture wages war on Christianity, the light of God and His gospel-good news will ALWAYS shine brighter than its lifeless counterpart!

I am fully committed to living out the message of Christmas – Jesus was born to die and His death makes it possible for everyone to be reconciled with God!

Just as God invaded earth in Bethlehem, He is still invading hearts and lives today – Good News, Great Joy!

Merry Christmas!
