To use Jed Clampett's favorite phrase;"Weeeldoggies"! It look's as if the "birth of Christ" celebration AKA Santa Clause's Christmas is officially over. I'm certain of this because the lights are coming down, the reindeer are being put back into the basements and symbolic heart shaped boxes of candies are now being placed in stores to celebrate St. Valentines day.
How many bible centered Churches will be having egg hunts and the "Easter Bunny" hop, hop, hoping down the bunny trail giving treats to every girl and boy as a celebration of the Resurrection of Christ?
NONE!
How many man centered Churches will be having egg hunts and the "Easter Bunny" hop, hop, hoping.......the Resurrection of Christ?
All of them.
What a sad comment on the state of the semi-pelagian/Arminian Churches in the West that care more about pleasing man, keeping up the "tithe payments" and keeping the goat smiling..
Well, I'll shortly be posting my biblical arguments against the private Christian practice, but assuredly, the Church propagating the hoax instead of teaching them the truth and to be happy and content in that truth. Yes, yes I know and fully anticipate the "legalist" label to be used on me but hey, it comes with the territory. Point out the peoples "golden calf" and you can expect it.
