“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS

As we enter the Christmas Season of 2014, I suspect anti-Christians will once again try and squelch the use of the word Christmas in favour of  the flaccid "happy holidays" or "Season's Greetings". Why? The word Christmas it contains the name of Christ. I will not listen to or obey the anti-Christians and secularists who take exception to Christmas. 

Christmas celebrates the coming of the Lord, the Incarnation, God made man. Denying or suppressing this truth will not change the reality that it occurred at a preordained moment in history. The road to Calvary began at Bethlehem. Christ did not come for himself, He came for us. In Him, humanity can truly find itself and the source and essence of eternal love. God sent His only begotten Son to save all those who believe in Jesus, and through Him have everlasting life. 

 Christmas is about divine love.  If a heavenly host sang about the
birth of my Messiah, I will not be silent about God's love manifested in the birth of Jesus -- a birth that shook the heavens.[1]

 I will not acknowledge political correctness. I will not bow to the tyranny of anti-Christians and take Christ out of Christmas. Jesus Christ is my hope and my Joy. His birth is so eloquently expressed at Christmas -- the Good News that the Messiah has come to save people from the 1st to the 21st Century.
