Believe it or not, the atheists and I have something in common: I now believe that wishing someone “Happy Holidays!” is perfectly okay during the Christmas season.
I know what you’re thinking: What? Has Steve gone off the deep end? Has he gone all ecumenical on us, or worse yet, Politically Correct? Or even worse than that, has he become an atheist?
Of course not. Read on and see if you can agree with my logic….
We live in a multi-cultural society. I can’t expect everyone to agree with me that it’s the Christmas season; not everyone celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As an evangelist I want to reach the maximum amount of people possible with my message of the Gospel; so I, on occasion, will wish people—in all sincerity—Happy Holidays!
My habit most mornings is to crack open my Charles Spurgeon devotional called “Morning and
Evening” (the updated version by Alistair Begg). Whenever there is a particular rumination that applies to atheists on their special day (Tuesday), I post it. So here you are, unbelieving friend:
“I have many people in this city.”—Acts 18:10.
HIS should be a great encouragement to try to do good, since God has among the vilest of the vile, the most reprobate, the most debauched and drunken, an elect people who must be saved. When you take the Word to them, you do so because God has ordained you to be the messenger of life to their souls, and they must receive it, for so the decree of predestination runs.
The Best Bumper Sticker Ever
The call to “Co-exist” is all well and good, but Jesus calls His disciples to preach and teach an exclusive means of salvation. No one goes to heaven but through Jesus. Can you tolerate the message of Christianity? Okay. Perhaps you’re not into bumper stickers. Click here to get your bumper sticker!
