Some say that the Christmas spirit and the giving of gifts is a good thing. Instead it is a CRUEL PAGAN CUSTOM. Every year millions throw away their entire savings for useless Christmas presents. Many go into debt and spend the entire year paying for the stuff they gave to those who in turn gave to them. Exchanging and giving gifts to someone else does not celebrate Christs birthday or honor Him in any way, shape, or form. In fact, Christmas spending is a dishonor to the Lord Jesus. It is a dishonor to the Lords work and the Lords people. Billions of dollars are spent on trinkets and non-essentials. When we think of the untold sum of the Lords money that is being spent for such foolishness, in connection with all the over-eating of nuts and candies, feasting on roast turkey and ham and all kinds of rich dainties, much of it resulting in headaches and stomach disorders and other ailments that go along with gluttony, all this is outright heathendom and an insult to the Master and has absolutely no connection with the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is a time of high carnality and low spirituality. We know that the unregenerate do not worship Jesus. But they SURELY Do Enjoy CHRISTMAS! Why? Because of the decorations, feasts, gifts, parties, etc., all of which appeal to the natural man. THIS IS THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT in which the whole world is caught up! Is it the Lords Spirit? Verily No! No one can dispute that—yet those who pay no attention to Christ or His Word all the rest of the year, those who fit the description of the world, enter into the activities and rituals of Christmas with a frenzy that borders on a passion! How can this be so? How can the unbelievers be so stirred at this one time of the year to venerate a day proclaimed as the very birthday of Jesus Christ, when they ignore Him or blaspheme His holy name the rest of the year? It is high time for all who would be the SONS OF GOD to forsake the polluted house of the Harlot! (J.P.EBY)
