The War That is Already Won
My apologies for neglecting this site for so long!
Somewhere between the last post and this writing, Christmas happened. Many of my friends have said the same thing; that this Christmas was upon us quickly, and it was very hard to get into the "Christmas Spirit"
If you watch and listen to some of the pundits, there was a war on Christmas this year.
I would respectfully submit that whatever war is waged on Christ and the celebration of His birth is already won by The Prince Of Peace. Jesus Christ lived out the prophecies of ages before him, conqured death, and did exactly what He said He would do.
I am not the best Christian witness, nor a Bible scholar. But even, as the song says "a wretch like me" realizes that the war on Christmas is a paper tiger. The war is over. Christ won the war, not with His birth, but with his sacrifice.
It seems to me that there is no war, just an effort to highlight any and all efforts against Christian oriented displays.
They can take down all of the displays. The Truth will live on.
I read the back of The Book.

Stay strong, and be couragous. (Comment this)
When man seeks to "understand", he tends to peer so deeply as to confuse issues and confound the truth. That''s the secret to the Truth. It''s very simple. He came. He died. We believe. We live with Him forever! (Comment this)

I agree with everything you said. But I would also lay some blame for the hoopla surrounding "taking the Christ out of Christmas" at the feet of Bill O''Reilly and his obvious attempt at grabbing ratings. I don''t get these everything-I-say-is-right kind of guys (Rush Limbaugh, when he''s not busy trying to keep his medical records private, is another example) who stir this stuff up. Their only goal, I assume, is ratings. And people eat it up like they can''t THINK for themselves.
Here''s to getting back to more traditional, less commercial Christmases, and to not allowing egotistical blowhards form our opinions for us. (Comment this)
Also listened to you Sunday giving the closings of Churches. Thanks for all the good information you provide. One thing I do appreciate too is that you give others a chance to speak and you don't try to preach on every subject. (Comment this)
