No midnight Christmas service for you and yours? Is there soemthing offensive about combining Church with Christmas?

No midnight services would be correct.

I'm not sure if offensive would be the correct word though. I see it as being unscriptural in that we have no commandments in the NT to observe this day as part of our worship. The pattern that the first century Christians observed is pretty clear and adding things to our worship might be offensive to God so I am more comfortable with not including anything extra.

Having said all that I love Christmas and what it represents to Christians. I thanks God daily for sending his Son.

I knew a man years ago, who would play Christmas hymns all year long, because he said he wanted to always think of the birth of Christ, not just at Christmas. I thought that was a very sweet sentiment.
