[Creators.com] What if many folks today have rejected the true God for the government-as-god? What if the government-as-god has set itself up as providing for all secular needs in return for subservience? What if this seductive offer has been accepted by millions in America today?What if the acceptance of the government-as-god has ruined individual initiative, destroyed personal work ethic, fostered cancerous laziness, enhanced deep poverty and impelled thoughtless obedience to the government in those who have accepted it?
What if the blind acceptance of the government-as-god chills the exercise of personal freedom for fear of the loss of the government's munificence? What if the government is only generous with money it has taken from those who work and earn it? What if it's then given to those who don't? What if it is impossible to be charitable with someone else's money?
What if the world was full of darkness before He came into it? What if there is much darkness still today but some glimmers of light? What if those glimmers of light are from places of faith in Him? What if those places of faith in Him are also places of joy? What if we recognize that He is the light of the world?
What if Christmas is the birthday of the Son of God and the Son of Mary? What if we recognize the presence of the Son of God and the Son of Mary in our hearts and among us? What if the God-as-baby whose birthday we celebrate is the savior of the world? What if we don't hide this but live it?
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all.
