Happy Holidays

Have you noticed the trend to take the word Christ out of Christmas.  I see the Happy Holidays all over the place.  But here’s some good news about that.  Holiday is taken from the phrase Holy Day.  And Holy means to be set apart for God’s plans and purposes.  So now all over the world we are announcing a joyful set of days dedicated to God.  So hey, Jesus still wins.  Yeah.  But even so, if we want to guard the Christ in Christmas for the world, the best way to do this is just to get more Jesus into the hearts of the people.  God shows us a tremendous wisdom by sending Jesus into our lives.  He shows us that the world cannot be changed by bringing a bunch of rules down from the mountain, the world is only changed by getting the seed of God into the hearts of man.  You see, God is changing us from the inside out.  And if we want to change the world it also happens from the inside out.  We shouldn’t be surprised when the world does things we don’t agree with, they don’t know any better.  And telling them the rules may not help.  But giving them the seed of Jesus Christ, ah yes, this is the key to change.
