I know most churches have good intentions at Christmas time to connect with those who normally don’t go to church… they want to share the message that God loves this world enough to send his Son Jesus Christ as a helpless babe, to grow up living the life that we should have lived and then die the death we actually deserve.
It is great to create opportunities to preach this message and jazz Christmas services up with a few bells and trimmings… (see my series on 12 mistakes of Christmas). I just doubt an imaginary fat man in a red suit is the best medium for the message of the gospel.
Please keep Jesus central to your Christmas message this year and every Christmas following.
I loved your blog. Christmas needs to be protected…well how about the cross being protected? Feel free to read my blog on Alexamenos and his God
