We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Christmas

Christmas is upon us and this year I thought I’d share some links to articles I just recently read and a lot of links to articles I’ve shared in the past, all about Christmas. I hope you'll enjoy them and learn from them.

Is Isaiah 7:14 a Messianic prophecy?


Celebrating Christmas? An overall discussion of the day.


How did December 25th become Christmas?


The Bible reveals Xmas day on the 25th-not from paganism.


The myth of the pagan origins of Christmas.


Is Christmas a pagan holiday? Absolutely not.


Redeeming Holy Days from Pagan Lies — Christmas and Sol Invictus


Horus Ruins Christmas. A wee bit of humor for learning truth.


Did the Romans invent Christmas? Nope.


Put the “X” back in X-mas.


An interesting history of the Christmas tree.


What do I tell my children about Santa? We just made him like any other fairy tale, and had fun with it. We’d even have gifts from “Santa” which we’d all laugh about. Then again, we taught them the history behind Santa and the real reason for Christmas.


A Christmas Carol in perspective.


About the genealogies of Jesus


Did Luke get his nativity history wrong?


Did the idea of the virgin conception first appear late in history. Not at all.


Christmas Is Christmas Because Jesus Is God
