Over at “I’ll Be Honest.com” they have posted a profound video message that discusses the idolatry of Christmas and how the world has become the idol of many professing believers in how we handle Christmas.
From their site…
“For the longest time I was treasuring the world and not Christ, and I lived in the darkness. It was obvious to family members as well, and they knew I was going through pornography. They also saw the hatred in my life, and the idolatry to computer games and my career. Yet no one ever told me what awaited me that night if I got in a car wreck, and was killed. I knew the judgment part would come, but I was a Christian, I said the prayer, I went to church, I believed in God. The reality was that I was deceiving myself, and I was going to be going straight to the lake of fire, for an eternity in eternal torment in Hell. God used an email from my mentor at Setting Captives Free to finally wake me up. He told me how he wasn’t going to respond to any of my emails, and how I did not want to be free from pornography. There was more to the email then that, and I hated him after that. I was so upset and disgusted at him for sending me that email, I thought “he doesn’t even care about me.” The reality was he did care, he realized it was time to stop beating around the bush, and tell me the straight up truth. Luke 13:3 – No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. - I also needed someone to finally read some verses from the book of 1 John - 1 John 1:6 – If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.”
The above video is from a young man on fire for Christ with a true, Biblical understanding of salvation – that salvation in Christ saves us not only from the penalty of sin (the wrath of God) but also from the bondage of sin. Born again believers are new creatures in Christ. Soli Deo Gloria!
So give the true Gift of Christmas to friends, family and strangers – the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
