I’ll say it because I know most Christians won’t!!!! Any Christian Pastor who cancels services is a LIAR, FRAUD and COWARD!!!
The Word of God is quite clear about “assembling together” (Heb 10:25), and God has not given us a “Spirit of fear” (2nd Tim 1:7), “Greater is He who is in me, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4) and ““No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;” (Isaiah 54:17)
Either Christians walk in the Power of God or they are walking in the fear of the World.
THERE IS NO INBETWEEN....................PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know about the date(Early September OR late march to mid April by my reckoning due to sheep being”in the fields at night”) but we do know the Angels were having a huge celebration and one of them told the Shepherds in the field where to go worship the new born Christ.
So once a year drag out Handel’s Messiah, and play “Glory to God” and one can rejoice in Christ’s birth as the Angels rejoiced and worship Christ as the shepherds did...bring your sheep! One should be as authentic as possible you know!
Sheeesh!
Star date, the Three Wise Men came from the east, with gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
New Testament. The Word took on the form of the son of man. Powerful.
And that is how the Progressives have been attacking our Christian heritage...by trying to foist a counterfeit social religion on society, the ties to Christ are weakened, thus men become fearful of death and the grave. This fear of death becomes a cudgel that the evil ones use to try and tyrannize and enslave us.
If a society has hope in Christ and derives its sense of freedom and liberty from God, that society will be sprinkled with the sense of what is right and wrong and it’s people lose their fear of death and of the grave.
Such a people can not be coerced by fear and the dread of death to do that which is evil before God nor can they be deceived into doing evil or at least remain deceived before the Spirit brings them into repentance.
The Evil ones can burn the occasional Shadrach or throw a Daniel into a Lions’ den to try and cow the rest of us, but an entire society turned to Christ they cannot easily overcome.
The Dem progressives are pernicious...they play to the basest motives in men even dressing up such evil by saying it is righteous in motive that we accept such evils like Gay marriage or abortion in the name of anti religious bigotry.
