MSM “Bah Humbug!”
Obama’s Birth Narrative Is Weird And Incredible. We Can Stop Sanitizing It. :)
Please, not with the refugee stuff again.
Might we experience a transformative encounter with the God of Jesus Christ?
Well Mr Taylor is obviously not a Trinitarian.
More like a Fuller Brush man.
Always trying to sell you something.
“Fuller Theological Seminary” - fully liberal theology. Redemption through Social Justice.
From their statement of faith:
IX. The Church is summoned by Christ to offer acceptable worship to God and to serve him by preaching the gospel and making disciples of all nations, by tending the flock through the ministry of the word and sacraments and through daily pastoral care, by striving for social justice, and by relieving human distress and need.
In response, I offer this past Sunday’s message from our pastor, AT Hargrave, re: Herod’s slaughter of the innocents and it’s place in a non-sentimental evaluation of the Christmas story.
For my own edification, I had to look up two words to make sure I was comprehending what he was teaching-
Politic: Showing good judgement especially in dealing with other people.
Political: Of or relating to government, or the conduct of government (Isaiah 9:6).

Infertility, divorce, shame, mass murder, astrologers, injustice and doubt: these are a few of the topics that appear in the birth narratives of Matthew and Luke, but it is unlikely that they will feature in many of the sermons or pageants at our churches during this season of the year.
Well. Our pastor has spent December preaching through the birth narrative in Matthew. The genealogy, next the coming of the Magi, then the flight to Egypt.
I find this refreshing. Usually at Christmastime you tend to hear Luke.
We can start by strictly observing the commands of the disciples that were meticulously recorded in the gospels with respect to how later Christians should observe the birth of Our Lord. We should add to nor take away from these details.
What if this person did something meaningful with his life, outside of pontificating how he is all-knowing.
A mind is truly a terrible thing to waste.
Meanwhile, Philippians 2:9-11 will NEVER be broken. Atheism is a temporary condition. They WILL bow the knee to Christ eventually.
He is going to the wrong church.
Catholics celebrate the Feast of the Visitation (infertility of Elizabeth), the feast of the Holy Innocents (mass murder), shame and divorce The feast of St Joseph...Astrologers/pagans (Epiphany). As for doubt, we have the feast of St Thomas the Apostle.
