have tried to see both sides of this issue. My ministry, "Christ's Government" is founded upon a
prophesy of Christ's birth, and His Government. So I take this very seriously! I celebrate Christ's
birth everyday. [Isaiah 9:6,7]
I believe santa is a cheap cover up for the real celebration of Christ's birth. The world is ashamed
of Christ Who gave Himself to set them free! It amazes me of how they love the lie and reject the
truth! I am amazed that they would rather celebrate santa, the lie and reject the One Who gave so
much for their salvation! We do stupid things, but that is one of the big ones! Love, holyroller.

My response:
This is one of the two best times for sharing the Gospel. It doesn't matter that in fact Jesus Christ
was born months earlier. During this time, many people are actually more depressed at this time
of the year (especially ones without money to spend and ones who have psychological problems
due to past relationships). Suicides happen a lot during December. But we should go against the
belief as a famous song says that Santa Claus has God-like abilities. Not even Satan has such
except for not being visible to us.
I think it is wrong for certain Christians for criticizing and even condemning any Christians
doing anything in relation to Christmas. I do a lot of intercessory prayer for churches who are
using this time to present the full Gospel in many forms and true Christian compassion. I pray for
the news media to continue sharing compassion stories during this season. They don't usually do
such during the rest of the year. I also am praying for this season to help the USA economy to
greatly improve and a lot of tax money to come to the deficit spending Federal Government (so
they won't raise taxes). Remember JOY-- Jesus Others Yourself (in that order chronologically).
Onward,
Bill
