THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS ..I heard an interview recently in which John Gibson was discussing his new book The War on Christmas. Gibson discussed the push going on in our country to make Christmas a neutered "holiday" that will keep non-Christians from being the least bit offended.

John Gibson, a popular anchor for the Fox News Channel, has been digging up evidence about the liberal activists, lawyers, politicians, educators, and media people who are leading the war on Christmas. And he reveals that the situation is worse than you can imagine.

For instance:

-In Illinois, state government workers were forbidden from saying the words Merry Christmas while at work.
-In Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall.
-A New Jersey school banned even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols.
-Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project.

The author reveals that millions of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and against local officials who would rather surrender than be seen as politically incorrect.

We must let our voices be heard. I want to remind you of Isaiah 49:6 which is often referred to as the Great Commission of the Old Testament. The second part of the verse states"...I will also make you a light to the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth. Our lights must shine brightly. Let your voice be heard during this CHRISTMAS season. GO as the shepherds, "glorifying and praising God for all that you have heard and seen." Let Your Light Shine ...Craig
