@Knittinggrace Thank you for your input
@Knittinggrace You're right, celebrating Christmas isn't found anywhere in scripture. But, does that mean we shouldn't celebrate it?
For some, who aren't Christians, Christmas is the only time of year they attend church. What an opportunity to point them to Jesus!
John L Cooper:
"Make pastors uncool again."
Cooper believes the trend of “hip” and “relevant” pastors points to a very dangerous shift in orthodoxy the Church has taken lately.

@Freedtobeaman Max it. I like that.
@sinbach That's genius. 😂😂😂
China has just proposed new laws to punish foreign Christians doing personal ministry inside China. We outline the specific laws that are the most problematic.

@all4Jesus Sorry to hear that. Merry Christmas.
@all4Jesus I agree.
@sinbach So true!

Today as you attend your church, please remember the martyred Christians in Indonesia. Two days ago 4 Christians from the Salvation Army were killed and beheaded and six churches were burned to the ground.

UK is near the end of national lockdown part 2, ending 2nd Dec - but our city goes into local lockdown teir 3 immediately, so we will still be in lockdown. I know the UK has been so comfortable for so long compared to the troubles our brothers and sisters face all over the world, but It's crazy to see this country come under such control and so quickly!!😮
