Greeting wars

“Christmas 2005 is the year of the "greeting wars" between Christians and American retailers.” Bill O'Reilly of Fox is on rant, too, but whose job is it to carry the message of Christ to unbelievers?

I don’t think we can blame a secular world for not carrying the message of a “Call to Faith” for us. It would be nice to have them as leverage, but we simple can’t rely on them to tell the world Christ is born. Each Christian should be doing that with or without the help of secular businesses. Any person who greets us with "happy holidays" is identifying himself as a potential unbeliever who should receive an immediate verbal witness for Christ, not a lambasting about corporate policies!My 2 cents. What do you think?

In thinking about concluding the lesson “Call to Faith” based on Romans 10: 1-4, 8-18, 21, I read Pastor James McCullen’s post and he asked, “Have you ever heard these verses called the Indian verses because of the word “how” being used five times?”

I’ve never heard that. Have you? Interesting. Likewise, I wonder how many unbelievers would say, “Interesting. Tell me more” if they heard a verbal witness about Jesus Christ from a believer?

Unbelievers are “dying” to hear the gospel. As Clint said, “They are spiritually lost, eternally lost and relationally lost” until they hear it and respond. My prayer is that unbelievers will hear the “Call to Faith” this Christmas thru all of us who read this post. Amen.
