Christmas 2016: Christmas in a Pagan Land

Christmas

“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”
–Isaiah 29:13

Christmas is a time of paganism BUT Christmas is also a time of good cheer.

There is some confusion that paganism is all dour darkness and dreary times.

It is not.

Paganism can be bright and cheery. But make no mistake: though one be bright and cheery and wish others well for the season, one is not necessarily a Christian.

With its pagan traditions, rituals, symbols and practices, Christmas serves as a graphic reminder of the true orientation of the United States of America.

But it matters not the whole countryside is pagan.

It matters not the whole world lies in evil.

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”
–1John 5:19

God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, is in total control.

Always has been; always will be.

Pagans smile.

Pagans wish others “Merry Christmas.”

Pagans hope for the best for their children and friends.

Pagans are just not saved.

For Christmas 2016, it is the fondest Christmas wish that well-meaning pagans throughout this pagan land might be saved and experience the rich and tender mercies of the LORD and His Son, Jesus Christ.

THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

End Time Rising: Running out of Time

Make Your Calling and Election Sure: End Times Survival

REMINDER: Christmas is a time of year when the gospel receives less lip service than any other. Share the real gospel of Jesus Christ all times, but especially during the time supposedly set aside for the celebration of the Savior of the world.

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
