It’s not lights, wrapping paper, and things. It’s the birth, nails, & everlasting life.
“‘Progressives’ work increasingly harder with each passing year to remove Him further from society.
But He’s alive today as He’s ever been.
It’s not about lights, wrapping paper, & things.
It’s about the birth, nails, & everlasting life.
He’s the gift.
Merry Christmas.”

Not all progress is progress.
A lot of it’s regression.
It’s just camouflaged as progress by pop culturists who believe change (despite the quality of lacktheor of it) is trendy and “cool”.
It’s “cool” to let males play female sports.
It’s “cool” to have gender neutral bathrooms.
It’s “cool” to attack Jesus. Minimize Him. Wash Him from society.
And the reason we “accept” these things is because in many ways, especially in America, we’ve lost our backbone.
We pander to those constantly searching for offense.
It has little to do with “acceptance” and a whole lot to do with, “I disagree with you, so I’m going scream, cry, and yell to have you canceled.” It’s as childish as it gets.
And to rid any resemblance of conflict most people in today’s world simply roll over and say, “okay fine, you win.”
SOFT.
And the reason this is problem is because the more “tolerant” you become, the greater chances are that somebody close to you is effected by your lack of backbone.
“You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything” isn’t just a cute verse in Aaron Tippins fantastic song, it’s a fundamental truth.
You can say, “Yeah, I know what I believe in, but just don’t get into it publicly.”
The problem is that if you won’t stand for Jesus in the face and fire of public scrutiny, you know who else won’t?
Your grandson.
Your grandson won’t even know Him.
And we know how that story ends.
Today is a sacred day.
It’s a celebration of the birth of Christ.
The King of Kings.
The man who was born, lived a life by example, and then paid the ultimately sacrifice because we owed a debt we could not pay.
He was violently nailed to 2 pieces of wood, knowing ahead of time life would soon leave his body, so that those who accept Him can experience everlasting life.
The gift of all gifts.
It’s free, too.
Love, Honor, & Glorify Him, not only today, but every day.
And don’t be afraid to do so with your whole chest.
Generations depend on it.
He told you it’d be like this.
He died for you, are you willing to live for Him?
Merry Christmas.
