Pastor's Pen
  It's Merry Christmas!!
  The battle still rages against our Christian heritage, wanting to turn Christmas
into merely a non-offensive holiday. History reveals this country was founded as a
Christian Nation, so lets all join in the fight to preserve it and send the
message "leave it alone or leave it."

  Some businesses are instructed to say "happy holiday" instead of Merry Christmas,
so the ungodly not be offended. But what about the Christian who should be
offended by such an anti-christian agenda? Nothing wrong with saying "happy
holiday" for holiday is defined as a holyday. But we know the motive behind
message. It's just one more move to remove Christ from our nation. Like King
Herod, in the Bible who desired and was aggressively determined to the kill the
Christ child. This new born King was a threat to him and his kingdom. So the
efforts to kill Jesus and his influence is not a new thing. America is doing this
by revising and rewriting history books excluding our Christian roots, by taking
prayer and the ten commandment from schools and courthouses and by changing the
names and meaning of Christian special days, etc. 

Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
The silence of the Christian community is to blame for the lose of many of our liberties. 
Our only hope is stand up and speak up. Future generations are depending on us. 
If we let up then what will they have? 
Remember darkness can only exist in the absense of light. Merry Christmas Everyone!
