We Thank God For Jesus
"Christmas for Christ or Merchandise"
"CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST OR MERCHAN-
DISE???"
Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a
son is given: and the government shall be upon
eW
his shoulder: and his name shall be called
WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR. THE
MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING
FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
As the woman bought stumps at the post office,
just the other dty. A FROWN OF DEEP MAD
NESS; overcame the smile, that was on her face.
As she looked at the posted stamps, OF MARY HOLDING BABY
JBSUS, She said: THEY'RE PUTTING RELIGION INTO CHRIST-
MAS; I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
Mark 7:6, Jesus said, Well hath Esoi as proplfosicd of you HYP-
OCRITES, as it Is written, This people HONOURETH me with THEIR
LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM MB.
(And you know many PLAY THE XMAS GAME, Saying I love you,
and will BUY THINGS TO PROVE IT. Buying presents, trees, toys,
lights and drinking; it is NOT GOD'S BUSINESS! The BUSINESS
MAN; He makes a killing this time of year. THINK! If there was a
BIRTHDAY PARTY CELEBRATION, would you give GIFTS TO
ANOTHER, OR TO WHOM THE CBLEB RATION IS FOR? GOD'S
BUSINESS IS SAVING SOULS; YOUR SOUL TO HIM WOULD BE
A GOOD GIFT.)
WILL XMAS ROB GOD???
That another TRICK OF THE DEVIL; WE'RE NOT TO CELE-
BRATE JESUS' BIRTHDAY, GOD WANTS MANKIND TO BELIEVE;
THE DEATH, RESURRECTION OF JESUS; TO BE SAVED.
John 3:17,18, JESUS SAID, For GOD sent not his SON (JESUS) into
the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him (JESUS)
MIGHT BE SAVED. HE that believeth on him is not condemned: but he
that believeth not is condemned ALREADY, because he hath not
BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF
GOD.
JBSUS DIED FOR THE WORLD; AND ALL THEIR SINS; AND
THSY BELIEVED HIM NOT, PEOPLE LIE TO THE CHILDREN;
TELLING THEM SANTA CLAUS GAVE THE TOYS THEY GOT.
Matthew 4:10, JESUS SAID, Get thee hence, SATAN: for it is WRIT-
TEN Thou shalt WORSHIP THE LORU THY GOD, AND ONLY HIM
SHALT THOU SERVE.
GIVE TO SANTA THAT WHICH IS SANTA'S; AND GODTHAT
WHICH IS GOD'S
(Here is WISDOM: THE BIBLE tells us, when the angel was sent: in
the SIXTH MONTH. Being PREGNANT for nine MONTHS: then a
baby would be BORN IN MARCH OR APRIL; that's a good time for
' shepherds to be in the fields, with their sheep. NOT IN DECEMBER!)
Luke 1:26-2- 7, And in the SIXTH month the angel Gabriel was sent
from GOD unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused
to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and VIRGIN'S
NAME WAS MARY.
The WISE MEN, to show RESPECT, gave GIFTS, FRANKINCENSE
AND GOLD, BUT KING HEROD: LIKE SANTA CLAUS; JESUS
fcLORY HAS BEEN STOLE.
Matthew 2:16a, Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the
wise men, was exceeding wroth (MAD), And sent forth, and slew ALL
T$E CHILDREN THAT WAS IN BETHLEHEM, and in all the coasts
tfiereof, FROM TWO YEARS OLD AND UNDER.
fJOW AMERICA IS TRYING TO KILL JESUS; LOOK AROUND:
"0U CAN PLAINLY SEE, THE COMMERCIALS; OF CARS. TOYS,
CLOTHES, APPLIANCE. NO JESUS ON YOUR TV.
I John 2:15, LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS,-THA- T
ARE IN THE WORLD. IF ANY MAN LOVE THE WORLD,
THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM.
Tday is the day OF SALVATION; SO BECOME ONE OF THE
$J$E PERSON, LET THE LORD JBSUS BE BORN INTO YOUR
HjsART; THAT'S WHY GOD SENT HIS SON.
J$in 3:J6, JESUS SAID, For GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
CHJAT'S YOU), that he gave his only begotten SON (THATb JESUS),
that, whosoever (THAT'S YOU) BELIEVETH IN HIM (THAT'S
JUS) should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE (THAT'S
Wc order our lives by our priorities and our
objectives. We devote more of our time.
beyond those hours devoted to earning a livelihood, to doing
or to accumulating thai which we want tlie most. Certainly
we who are followers of Jesus Christ should be expected to
live withipur priorities in harmony with our faith.
1 he tragi truth is that we get our priorities mixed up at
times. Satan convinces us that we can be Christians and still
retain a bit of the world within us. The sins we read in the
Bible did not die with the death of the persons who commit
ted them. Covetousness, hatred, selfishness, inhumanity - all
of Satan's devices are still alive and healthy.
However, a very patient, loving God, tries to gain the
unswerving love of His wayward creatures; and through His
only Son Heltas initiated the process by which we may
return His love. But the choice is ours, whether we follow
Satan's invitation to a life ruled by our selfish interests or
allow God's love to determine our course of conduct. In all
the affairs of daily life the Christian must make this choice;

either he chooses the way of Jesus Christ and that which
enhances his spiritual growth, or he chooses to patronize his
own selfish ends. By his choices he mw exchange his eternal
heritage for the momentary glitter and tinsel of this
world.
Too often the ungrateful, rebellious creature turns from His
Creator and follows alter the pleasures of sin, ths deceptive
attraction of riches, the temporary prestige of power, and he
trades his soul for pottage.
The Bible admonishes the followers of Jesus not to value
highly the things of this world. Being redeemed by Jesus
Christ, the citizen of His kingdom is urged to seek the things
of God, not those of this world.
The words of the great prophet Isaiah are appropriate to
every person who has suffered estrangement from God
because of his sin: "Seek ye the Lord while he may be
found, call ye upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6).
The primary work of God has been to provide the plan and
the means by which those who seek Him may find Him.
