Christmas is coming and once again the battles are raging in our country over the “political correctness” of this special celebration. The secular world never seems to stop trying to remove all aspects of God from our culture. Christianity seems to be under attack now more than ever.
As believers, we refuse to cave in to the cultural downsizing of Christmas. We love and want to share its true meaning. So, in the spirit of political INcorrectness, we offer you this original poem:
True Christmas
by Lynda Pongracz
We’ve reached that special time of year
When all the world takes pause
To think about our Savior dear,
Or revel in Santa Claus.
Each year the battle rages on
Between two different views;
To celebrate God’s only Son,
Or bow to this world’s ruse.
The atheists would love to see
A festive celebration
Of secular and worldly things
Across our diverse nation.
But we know well without a doubt
No matter what may be,
That Christ is what it’s all about;
He came to set us free.
When we believe God sent His Son
To pay our debt past due,
We can rejoice that it’s been done
And celebrate Christmas true!
So, as you celebrate that day,
Don’t bow to worldly views;
Be bold to tell of Christ, the way,
Proclaiming the Good News!
CEF workers all around the world are proclaiming that Good News to children in Christmas party clubs. Let’s pray for much fruit this month as many children hear about the true meaning of Christmas.
