Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays and the debate goes on and on and on...

Dear Christian friends,
There is a war in this world.  The war is not one that we can see with our eyes.  It is a war that battles for souls, for lives, for our children, for the glory of God.  It is a war that has the most serious of consequences... it is not for boarders, for oil, for weapons of mass destruction - at least not in the typical sense.  It's not a political war or a war between MSNBC or Fox News... it is not even a war between retailers who say, "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"...

Retailers have nothing to do with Christmas.  It is about the humble birth of our Lord and Savior.  It is the answer to prophecy that foretold of a baby born to a virgin.

It is the knowledge that this baby who Herod tried to kill would one day grow and be the way, the truth and the life... and this baby would one day die on the cross to save us from the wrath of God.

 So while we are easily offended by those who wish us a Happy Holiday and we toss and turn at the thought that perhaps they will take Christ out of Christmas ... we forget... we forget the basics... Boxmart and Waldo's Supercenter may tell its employees not to say Merry Christmas (which is a violation of their constitutional rights) they simply cannot win the battle before them.  If Christ is the Lord of the resurrection is he not also the One that will one day lead his armies to the destruction of Satan, his demons and his followers?  
Please friends, let us remember that Boxmart doesn't determine the meaning of the Christmas season... and try as they may they cannot remove Christ from any aspect of this world.  Instead let us love others into the kingdom and daily show them what a follower of Christ is and how we respond to those who foolishly oppose the cross of Christ.
Merry Christmas!
