Have Christians Sold Out To The Secular Christmas?
Have Christians Sold Out To The Secular Christmas?
By: Dennis Daily
Several years ago I wrote a column in which I explored the ever-expanding way that Christmas is being celebrated, at least as far as the calendar is concerned. At that time I suggested that we in the Christian world don’t have a leg to stand on when we blast the secular world for “stealing Christmas.†I said that, instead of letting it be stolen, we had actually GIVEN away the holiday and failed to fight for its original meaning. I further suggested that if one of the jobs of a Christian (particularly an evangelical Christian) was to “witness†the faith, then most of us are doing a lousy job of using Christmas as a time to not only demonstrate our faith, but to show others that we are believers.
