Christmas – it's not just for shoppers

Christmas, the birth of Christ, the savior, isn’t just for shoppers. While it’s true the 25th of December is likely not the precise date of Jesus Christ’s birth, the celebration of His incarnation is one of the most important celebrations in Christendom. And this is not the same as celebrating a religeous right political action win. This is about celebrating the birth of God incarnate who actually came for all the world….men and women in all the beauty of their diversity.  You can bet your Christmas fruitcake He did not come for a political party.  So, with that in mind, we have brewed up a few links on, Christmas:

• Merry Christmas; The Incarnation: a post we did last year on this wonderful day and what the meaning of the season is
• God’s Diversity Christmas: is a wonderful post on God’s audience by Julie Nemecek
• Give Mary Credit: Over at Heartlight, they give us a short, neat reminder about Mary’s faith as a woman
• Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?   Is a well documented, historical and analytical perspective on this topic

Merry Christmas to all our readers, coffee swillers and general hanger-oners from us at Beck’s Cafe.
