FTA: A positive thought which comes to me as I consider the focus of this movie (Saving Christmas) is that the truth of Christmas’ pagan origins, and the conviction that participating in such rites is contradictory to the will of God, is increasing to such an extent that it has now appeared on the radar of mainline denominational Christianity. It is no small decision for many believers to choose not to participate in Christmas, for it is a cherished holiday, loved as much by the unsaved as it is by those professing to be Christians. That so many are paying the cost of estrangement, reproaches, and being labeled extremist, by family, friends, and neighbors reveals that there remains a remnant who place obedience to God above personal interests.

Keep Yourselves From Idols
Full Heads, Empty Hearts
A needed exhortation for both those who know God’s Word concerning the observing of pagan/papist/traditions of men and those who don’t know (or don’t care to know). Prayerfully and humbly watch this video and learn what God would have us to know in our relation to our beloved brethren with the knowledge we have been given:
“He does not know that he does not know” that he is arrogant. This is why we must be prayerful when correcting others. Pray for God’s heart in the matter. We need to be mindful of our attitude-are we arrogant with the knowledge we have? Are we wanting to be right and do we have to get the last word in? Can we say what must be said, using God’s Word and His wisdom of approach, then leave it at that even if they reviled us? Are we willing to be corrected without taking offense? Can we not take offense though our corrector is wrong? Watchmen must be on their knees in prayer at all times that God may be glorified and not ourselves. Once we say what needs to be said, and have lovingly answered questions and have overlooked insults (and there will be those false accusations!) then we leave it with our Lord-its His work, not ours.
CHRISTIANITY: According to me?
If you’ve ever grown squash plants, you may know vividly what happens when squash bugs bore into the root and kill it. Squash plants are only as good as their roots, and that’s why it is important for farmers to know what rots the roots and what nourishes the roots of plants. Or eventually the squash bugs will be around to help finish off the rotten root, because “it’s what they do”.
Is it possible that what is rotting America’s roots today is a new version of Christianity? A version according to us rather than GOD?
I recently heard a rant on social media. This person claimed to be a “Christian” and spent time explaining (in their words): “what Christianity “means to me“.
This individual on social media defined Christianity as being about:
- Having a “heart for GOD”; they explained one’s actions are unrelated to one’s heart
