I WAS OFFENDED! I couldn’t believe my eyes. Was this allowed in Johnson City, Texas?
Apparently so. As far as I knew there was no law against it.

I walked up to the counter of HealthMart, our local pharmacy, and there was the most offensive, agitating, insensitive sign I ever saw. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but still, I was shocked. I called Phil the manager over to ask him about that, that…sign: “How come it says ‘Happy Holidays’? This is Johnson City. We are a Christmas town!”

He’s a very friendly guy and listened attentively as I voiced my complaint.

The Great Divide

It’s 2017! Happy New Year!

But why? Do you know what happened 2,017 years ago?

What happened? Simply the most significant event ever….

It’s been 2,017 years since Jesus Christ was born, that babe in the manger. Every time you look at a coin, it’s a marker of time, a reminder that Jesus Christ came into this world to seek and to save people from their sin.

Someone once said: “He has turned aside the river of ages out of its course and lifted the centuries off its hinges.”

We measure time as B.C. Before Christ, and A.D. Do you know what that means? Not “After Death.” No, A.D. stands for Anno Domini, “In the year of the Lord.” It has been changed now to “The Year of Our Lord.” The big question: Is he your Lord?

The wonderful irony of all this is that every book in the library, even those that hate God and Christianity, acknowledge that Jesus Christ was born by the dates contained within them. The former Soviet Union, an official atheistic government, has in its constitution that it was formed in 1917.

The Way of the Master Christmas Disco Party

My personal invitation to the annual Living Waters Christmas Disco Party must have gotten lost in the mail, but an atheist insider who works at the ministry apprised me of the event being held on the secret fourth floor of their headquarters. With the help of a few friends, I was lowered by cables from

Great Last Minute Gifts for Junior

The neighbor down the street just had a kid. So did your newlywed sister. Just what do you give to the would-be evangelist kid who has everything? Try these suggestions from EvangelismStuff.com (except for the last one, which is really horrible).

Or get this one that will prepare that little scientist for public school:

It’s Christmas Week!

Dec 20, 2010Steve SanchezSeasons

From now till Friday I will be posting all things Christmasy. Some will make you smile, others not. Some you may ask why, others might make you cry. One thing to remember though: It ain’t about Santa or Solstice; it’s about the Savior!
