O you who love the Lord, hate evil! – Ps. 97:10 ~ There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. – Pro. 14:12
Today’s Update:
What Submission Doesn’t Mean
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ” does not mean that you accommodate yourself to wrong teaching and doctrine, that you say nothing when falsehood is being propagated. No! For that is a denial of all the New Testament. Not only that, it is a denial of some of the most glorious epochs and eras in the Christian Church.
— D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981) was a Welsh Protestant minister and medical doctor)
Paganism in the Church must be removed-its a worldly, unholy system of worship to another god and is un-redeemable and it has no place even near the wall of separation…
“And they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.”-Nehemiah 3:8
Cities well fortified have broad walls, and so had Jerusalem in her glory. The New Jerusalem must, in like manner, be surrounded and preserved by a broad wall of nonconformity to the world, and separation from its customs and spirit.

Best video I’ve heard on the subject using the most reliable sources. The first ten minutes is worth the listen if you listen to no more of it.
This sermon explains why Christians should not celebrate Christmas because it is the pagan holiday of Saturnalia and Natalis Solis Invicti of which the Catholic Church changed the name.
