  •  “At that time I will bring you home.”
     – Zephaniah 3:20

    No other time of the year, than the period from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year, does the theme of “Home” become so visible.

    Everything is about home. The commercials on Christmas are all about home. And of course tying “home” into spending money. “Home is where the heart is” falls on the lips of many persons. “Home for the holidays.”

  • In an article published in 1996, English Theologian, Don Cupitt, said that "Christmas is the Disneyfication of Christianity." I winced when I read that characterization of Christmas. It hurt because it contains an embarrassing element of truth. Almost all of us participate in the commercialization of Christmas.

  • Friedrich Nietzsche was a provocative 19th century German philosopher who is still frequently quoted. He was a severe critic of religion, especially the Christian religion. He once suggested, "The last Christian died on the cross." And concerning Christian evangelism, he said, "If the church wants the world to believe in redemption, then the church ought to look a little more redeemed."
