Very convicting!rnMy youth pastor, my friend and I were actually talking about something similar to this last week, though not specificly Christ in Christmas, more the "In God We Trust" on our money and Christ in schools, but same general idea. I do think it's important that Christ be kept in Christmas, Happy Holidays feels really artificial and weak. It takes the reason out of the season. I guess though, if I'm a true follower of Christ, I should know stuff like this will happen (Jesus told us that quite a few times, that we'd be persecuted and people wouldn't respect His name and so on) and it's not as big a deal as the majority of the Christian community makes it out to be. This note and my youth pastor have shifted my thoughts on this; though it's important to me, I say "Bring it world" when they want to take my Savior out of our holidays and currency and schools and the world as much as they can because like I said, it's important to ME. rnrnIf it's important to me, I'll let everyone know that it is. I'll never stop calling Christmas "Christmas" even if the world stops, and I'll do what I can to BE a true Christian. Serve others. Forgive people. Love without Agenda. Step out of my comfort zone and talk to people about my Savior. rnrnI love this note. Thank you Spencer for posting this on facebook, I'll try extra hard on #10. Wow…this is great!
