I'm kind of perplexed at what makes Christmas a Holy day. I've seen nothing in the bible declaring aChristmas a Holy day. It seems to me that we confuse tradition with holiness. :whistling:

Wasn't it a holy thing when God sent Jesus into the world?

Perhaps, but it wasn't on Dec 25th. When it comes down to it, we should consider every day a Holy day because the Lord even works on the sabbath. :thumbsup:

Can you give a specific date on which this event occurred? :thumbsup:

{{{ If we're going to take away Santa from children, then we must next take away Popeye! Popeye propagates a lie in saying that if one eats spinach they will gain ultimate strength! }}}

:24: Oh No! Say it ain't so Sam! Not Popeye! Next we'll hear spinach salads are evil! :noidea::huh::24:

Christmas is just a time many Christians around to world get aside to celebrate The Birth of The Lord!

They gather together with family and friends (and strangers sometimes) to enjoy each other and to worship an astounding God because He sent His Only Son to earth to die in our place!

No true Christian would force another to worship The LORD or to join in a Christmas love gathering.

Many Christians around the world are undergoing horrendous martyrdom even as we write to each other here at Worthy!

They are undergoing torment for their faith in The One who's birth we celebrate at Christmas and we could (by The Spirit) lift them up during our Christmas love feast to Jesus?

Merry Christmas Beloved of Christ!

Maranatha!

I haven't read all the posts in here, but do you all realise that the jolly red man was originally sketched to promote coca cola?

If we must slam someone, than lets hit the mark and target the real culprit/s. Santa is just a commerical fabrication that makes retailers very happy - I'm not in retail unfortunately, otherwise I'd be rolling around in the dollars right now :24:

If I had a choice of letting my child believe in Santa for a few years I would take that over letting them look at someone like Britney Spears, and her shock values. I think this is much to do about nothing.

The Sceptic

by Robert W. Service

My Father Christmas passed away

When I was barely seven.

At twenty-one, alack-a-day,

I lost my hope of heaven.

Yet not in either lies the curse:

The hell of it's because

I don't know which loss hurt the worse --

My God or Santa Claus.

I always that that santa was a nice fellow, and that his white beard signified the greatness of God. Plus, we celebrate the birth of Santa on Christmas, at least, that's what my mom told me...

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
