Do we really want Christ in our Christmas?

Christmas has become too commercial!


Let’s put Christ back in Christmas!


I’m saying Merry Christmas and not going along with the politically correct.


We hear these statements more and more lately, but…


HOW MANY WHO CRY FOUL ABOUT IT NOT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT TO SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS WILL BE IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY?





Well, I didn’t say I would go so far as to go to church on Christmas.  Christmas is about family and we are staying home with family and enjoying each other.


Hmmm…


There is a theological statement that addresses that.


What?


That dog don’t hunt!


 Christmas is very much about Christ.  Christ Mass is very much a worship service for the Christ.  These worship services generally take place in places of worship.


OK, but we could worship Christ at home!  Right?


Yes, but will you?


Will you find time to clear away the clutter of unwrapped packages?


Will you really be able to worship when you kids are glued into their new X Box, I Pad, or YouTube video that they just uploaded from their new I Phone?


In the midst of everything that says, it’s all about me, or my husband, or my kids, will you really be able to worship God and celebrate his unimaginable love for the world that he gave through Jesus?


Really?


You already know the answer.  The question is, what will you do about it?


a)       Come and worship God and celebrate the birth of a Savior for all humankind.


b)      Or not.
This year in which Christmas falls on a Sunday may be a truth-teller year.
