Christmas Controversy

Would Jesus really tell us that "it's ok to say "Merry Christmas"?

The Christmas controversy is here again. Do you say "Happy Holidays" or has the pendulum swung to pressure you to say "Merry Christmas"?

Would Jesus really tell us that "it's ok to say "Merry Christmas"? We know He never said that and it's not written in the bible.  I understand the sentiment.

But did you know that thousands upon thousands of Christians do not say "Merry Christmas"  Why?  Because they don't celebrate Christmas. Now why not?

They've found that no matter how good the intention, no matter how spiritual we try to make it, no matter how heartfelt, the fact is that Jesus did not say to celebrate His birth.

Do you believe your bible is God's standard of truth? If so, here's a challenge for you—go to your bible and find out what days Jesus commanded to be observed. It will surprise you.

Do you know God's Holy Days?  Find out about them so you can honor Him in the way that He commands and appreciates.  And it just might change your greeting.
