Obama's Christmas tree

[George]

Have any of you seen the article concerning the ornaments Barakus Obamus Caesar has on his "Christmas" tree? It is really shameful. Let me give you the link to the story on FoxNews.

It seems to me that with each passing day this man gets worse and worse. He needs a lot of prayer.

In Christ,
George

No, I had not seen that, doesn't it show what is in the heart of Mr. Obama? I can't help but think of these verses.

Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

I know it's appropriate for the White House to have a Christmas tree and mention the birth of our Saviour, but, honestly WHAT IS A MUSLIM doing with a Christian ornament in the 1st place?

[Jerry80871852]

Trying to please both sides while proving he is a hypocrite.

All the world celebrates "Christmas"

I heard some one say that they disagreed with those Christians who tried to put religion into Christmas.

At our Carol Service last year, two women stormed out of the church during the gospel message, saying loudly, we only came for the carols, not to be preached at.

A few years ago when we still had a tree in the church, I complained that there was a large fairy on top of the tree, the pastor's wife said "it was not a fairy, it was the angel Gabriel" I said whatever it was it was still an idol and looked like a fairy to me.

Yes Brother, it has gotten ridiculous. I read that somewhere in Iraq the Christians were asked to keep their Christmas trees away from their front windows so as to not offend the Muslims. What about the Muslims offending us? Hmmmm

One of my favorite Gospel Quartet songs (I apologize for not remembering the name of it,) has a chorus that goes like this:

Signs of the times are everywhere
There's a brand new feeling in the air
Keep you eyes upon the Eastern sky
Lift up your head
Redemption draweth nigh

And all of God's children said; AMEN! Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.

In Christ,
George
( I had to add to this. I left a very important line out of the chorus.)

I think Christmas is OK, long as its kept in proper perceptive.

I wish I could remember how one person worded it the other day. Someone said they did not have enough money for Christmas. A fellow stated, "Well, them you don't know what Christmas is all about, it not about money, its about Christ and family."

[George]

"I think Christmas is OK, long as its kept in proper perceptive."

You are absolutely correct in that statement Brother. A couple of weeks ago we had a very interesting message on a Wednesday night. One of our Assistant Pastors handed out a paper that had twelve drawings on it. They were all of things considered secular in nature but commonly used, even by Christians, at Christmas time. He proceeded to explain to us how these things could represent things of the true meaning and spirit of Christmas. It was quite fascinating.

For all of my Christian life I have used things secular in nature to decorate with. Traditional things such as stockings, candy canes and things of that nature. Now after the message that was presented I have learned how to look at those things and find a way to relate them to the Lord. It was a great message.

In Christ,
George

I could not help but wonder this year about why the Godless are attacking Christians at Christmas - but I never saw them attack Hannuka, Kwanzaa or Ramadan? It would seem that if they were truly attacking God - then why dont they attack the other religions too? Wouldn't that be the "politically correct" thing for them to do?

There are an awful lot of people who need our prayers this year - not just the Obama's!

My parents used to tell me that they got an apple and an orange at Christmas.

They both lived in a very poor area of London. Dad was one of a large family 14 children of which 10 lived until Charlie was run over and killed by a horse an cart at the age of 9.

Mum as a 2 year old in the 1911 census was with her 5 year old sister, and mother and father and grandmother all living in on room in St Stephen's Square. Five people in one room (Includes the kitchen but not the bathroom, but there probably was not one of those.) The square surrounded St Stephen's Church and I found a book written in 1873 by James Amos, the vicar of St Stephen's entitled 12 years in Kent Street. He describes it as one of the poorest areas of London with many families crowded into one room.

Just think how they treated Jesus.

Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Joh 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Joh 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
Joh 19:16 ¶ Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
Joh 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Joh 19:18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
Joh 19:19 ¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Joh 19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
Joh 19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
Joh 19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
Joh 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Joh 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

Why should we expect them to treat us any better than they did Jesus?

It is most definitely true Brother. In fact the link I posted to the original story on FoxNews showed pictures of some of the ornaments. It is enough to make a Christian feel ill.

In Christ,
