Easter 2016 Rehearsal "Christ the Lord is Risen Today"

Why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

Why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

As you are at the stationary store looking through the Christmas Greeting Cards, why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

While at the mall shopping for Christmas Presents and Wrapping Paper with Ribbon, why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

When you are at the hardware store buying Christmas lights, an inflatable Santa (with or without his reindeer) and various other lighted items such as carolers or elves, why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

As you leave the Christmas Tree Lot with your Christmas Tree, why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

Later as you are purchasing Christmas Decorations like strings of Christmas lights, Christmas ornaments and tinsel, why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

When you invite me over to your house all lit up with lights, Santa with his reindeer and elves, your tree all lit and decorated with tinsel glittering and you hand me your greeting card and a gaily-wrapped gift, why shouldn’t I say Merry Christmas?

Please, let me share the joy I have in celebrating the birth of the One who gives me hope who is Jesus Christ. I’m not trying to convert you, I’m not saying anything about the faith you may or may not have, I’m just saying Merry Christmas.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!! So…

Love being able to bring some of the many instruments I have
to use for worship on Sundays!!

The forecast for today (and forever)

GOD reigns.
The SON shines.

I believe...

I believe what the Bible says, every word of it.

I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, given to man, through man.

I believe God spoke the universe in to being.

I believe Jonah spent three days in the belly of a fish.

I believe with the Power of God, Moses split the sea.

I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, all of our sins, and then rose again three days later.

I believe Jesus Christ is coming back again.

And I believe I will one day stand before Jesus Christ and be accepted into His Kingdom.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I am His.

This is what I believe… how about you?
