We don't have to compromise our obedience to God and buy into the pagan roots or the commercialization of Christmas. But, at the same time, to stand so firm on that principle, yet ignore the opportunity to share the Gospel while people are focused on Jesus, doesn't make for good discernment, does it? And to let this issue create a dividing line and a gulf between Christians is not what our Lord would want. It's time we set aside our differences, respect each other's choices, and get about the work we've been given to do.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-14139017503511278432015-12-13T16:17:42.562-06:002015-12-13T16:17:42.562-06:00Thanks, Belle, for the reminder, and another way f...Thanks, Belle, for the reminder, and another way for those of us that struggle with what to do about Christmas when we've been led away from a lot of it. This season can be difficult when you have differing beliefs and practices, both in the greater world, but also within families. We have been trying to find a balance, and your words just reaffirm that we need to put some of these differences aside, and concentrate more on our Messiah, than in areas where we don't agree. Today, more than ever, we need to come together and the only way to do that is to put our eyes, together, on Jesus! Another great reminder. Thanks!
