Excellent read on the true meaning of Christmas.
I watched the ‘Santa Clause’ movie again the other day...the one with Tim whasisname. It was another effort to get emotion out of people. In many ways it was wholesome because it promoted respect for parents and caring for others.
However, as the movie ended, I thought to myself, “the little kids who are led into this will have their ‘believe-o-meters’ injured. They’ll have difficulty believing later in the unseen.
But then another thought occurred to me. “Maybe we don’t want them to believe easy...easy believism. Maybe we want them to be discriminating. Maybe it’s good for a college student to get sold a set of encyclopedias or a lemon car. Maybe it will make them careful the next time.”
I don’t mind careful. I want discriminating faith. As Josh McDowell wrote, I want to the seek “Evidence that demands a verdict.”
