Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for December 22 and 23
"Secular Meets Sacred...and Christmas Will NOT Be Cancelled!"
Daily Manna's Bible reading: Saturday - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (NIV) . . . Sunday - Matthew 5:3-10 (NIV)
It's a secular world - look all around you! Amidst the beauty of the Christmas season, do not be deceived. As the secularists howl over words and symbols precious to our faith, they're not alone. For there's a grinch out there leading the "holiday" parade - and if you've not discovered him yet in the "happy holiday," secular correctness of our world, look again. For behind it all lurks an evil one; we live in a wicked world filled with war, crime, terror and strife.......and so should we cancel Christmas or just forget it??NO, NO, a thousand times NO - we will never surrender...we will never forget.....We celebrate the sacred and joyous birth of our Savior, He who spoke peace to our world still speaks through His marvelous Word. Someday there will be eternal peace - for He is coming again......
Look not around you or below you as the old grinch raises havoc around our secular world. Look beyond you and above you where someday HE, the Prince of Peace, who came to us 2000 years ago, will come again to receive His own.
Cancel Christmas?? NEVER! The grinch is doomed - now believe it, worship the Christ of the sacred Christmas, fill your home with joy, laughter, and song (uh.....don't forget the good food either - chuckle!) and KNOW that the Savior has come and is coming again. Halleluia!!

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages, nor would all necessarily agree with me. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
