Christian time of year?

     Well, it used to be.  I'm not so sure anymore.  Lots of superhero stuff for the kids, clothes for all, new, new, and more new!  People in the United States will go into an incredible debt this Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Thanksgiving has already been pushed aside as early as July.  Christmas 1/2 off sales are already out and the focus on Black Friday is attended to by more people than those who seek to worship Jesus this season.  With Christmas and Easter being the only time some people are seen in church it's no wonder that the focus has shifted. 
     Various groups don't want Christians to say Merry Christmas as the "Christ" in Christmas is offensive to them.  They don't even want non-believers to say Merry Christmas.  Slowly we are becoming a world where our thoughts, deeds and actions are being taken away.  The problem is we are going along with that anti-Christian plan.  Yes, it's a plan and no it's not a conspiracy.  We are participating in the plan even if all we are doing is nothing.  If people don't want to do, say or hear something they have the personal choice of not doing, saying or even hearing what others have to say.  One result of this plan being incorporated into our lives is being a hypocrite has become normal.  THAT is really strange.  We are intertwined in the plan to rid he world of God.  Complicit by either our actions or in-actions. 
     So, what should be the "Christian time of year?"  This part is so simple that Christians and non-Christians alike can do without having to betray themselves and those who support or lead them.  All we need to do is simply nothing.  We cannot redo Christmas except in our own hearts.  We cannot do Easter either unless it's in our own hearts.  Christmas is about Jesus.  That's it.  Simple and to the point.  Christmas is about Jesus.  Nothing more and nothing less.  If you are Christian and there is no Christian focus; then it's not Christian at all.  Even the Satanists gather together at least twice a year.  The First Church of Satan in San Francisco, CA boasted a membership of 10,000 back in the 80's.  I don't know what that figure is now.  Satanists are all around the world just as Christians.  They celebrate their holidays just as everyone else does. 
     "Okay, Steve, lighten up." "What's the harm of a commercial Christmas."  That depends on what you truly believe and know is at stake of that belief being obliterated in this world.  There are those who believe that the world and being a Christian can peacefully integrate and co-exist.  That's not in the Bible.  When we want an excuse to have our own way, any excuse will work.  Every day the Bible and God are being challenged and the Christian told to shut up and go along with the plan.  I have some news for you believers who go along with this;  "If you don't stand for anything, you will fall for anything."  Why are we so complacent that we Christians allow the shame of the world to come over us and do nothing?  Why do we strive to find a human solution to a God problem?  We don't want to make waves.  We don't want to alienate people.  At least they hear about God and his Son.  I could go on but there is no point.
     If I don't keep focused on Jesus I'm dead even before I begin. Without Jesus there is no Christmas or Easter.  That is their plan.  Re-invent these holidays so that people will celebrate the new and improved holidays.  Easter bunny? Santa Claus?  It's difficult to bring about change when the plan is so subtle that we begin and continue lying to our children in order to encourage their attention be on the gift and not the Giver.  Taking Jesus out of the equation is the ultimate goal.  Just like Satan wants to take Jesus out of our lives. 
     Here is the challenge and the change necessary.  Read the Christmas story for yourself.  It's not about a BB gun or a leg lamp.  Believe the Christmas story for yourself.  Tell others the story and help them to make the changes as well.  The "Story" will destroy the "plan" every time.  It may take time to change but change anyway.  Begin with yourself and move out from there.  Christmas is about Jesus.  Nothing more and nothing less.  What choice are you going to make.  Are you going to change to fit the world or are you going to stay the same to keep the plan?  It's all your choice.  If you know Jesus, do what he asks.
