"....Bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness...." (Neh. 12:27)
I'm sure over the years you have heard of all the bad-mouthing of Christmas, "Christ's mass," December 25th is the celebration of the "Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god," the pagan roots of the Christmas tree, etc., etc. The Roman Catholic Church, Ancient Rome, Nordic pagan god worshipers can do what they like. I celebrate with lights and trees and giving of gifts, Jesus Christ, His Appearing, "Who went about doing good," died on a Roman cross, shedding Precious Blood, rose from an earthquake shattered tomb, Who, "when he ascended on high...took many captives and gave gifts to his people." The religionists can humbug Christmas all they wish. This redeemed sinner, redeemed from the power of sin, the grave, an eternal Hell, will celebrate His First appearing, until either His Second Appearing or I die and, "enter thou into the joy of the Lord."
Sarah and I pray that you will do the same and don't let the pagans enjoy all those trees and lights by themselves. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, it is all about Father coming to us in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
