“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you”
–Mark 13:3-5
The Christmas season: that time of year when one hears church folk claim “Jesus is the reason for the season!”
Maybe it is believed, but most evidence points that it is not–particularly by many of those who congregate in the churches.
The evidence?
The reader need do no more than drive down any random city, town or rural street/road. Count the number of “Christmas figures” used by those who most “get into the Christmas spirit: those who decorate outdoors for Christmas.
What are the most popular figures used?
Are they of Jesus?
From several counts in different locales, this writer could have made the guess that “Frosty is the reason for the season,” as snowmen have been extremely popular Christmas decorations.
How about “Santa is the reason for the season“?
Even plant life is more popular than Jesus Christ: wreaths, decorated trees and mistletoe adorned many houses.
Jesus Christ?
Not so many–although there were a few (very few) cribs with dolls in them.
OF COURSE, any who point out such inconvenient truths are guilty of “spoiling the fun.”
In America 2017, there are many reasons for celebrating the pagan holiday season called Christmas.
Other than a few odd minutes here and there, none of them involve Jesus Christ (who was not born on December 25).
HAS the reader become caught up in the many various pagan celebrations which accompany the Christmas season?
It is not yet too late: there is still time to repent, place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

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
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
