 Re:

This issue of celebrating Christmas always comes up here in the forums each year and I understand those who choose not to observe Christmas.

However, while I despise the gross commercialism of this time, I believe that it is altogether right for a believer to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also believe that we should speak of Christ at every opportunity but this time of year presents many exceptional opportunities to speak of Him and for that I am grateful.

I would like to share something here that Keith Daniel's wife wrote;

There is no better time by Jennifer René Daniel

There are so many arguments
Of dates and source and rights
That mingle with this Christmas time
And it's commercial lights

We somehow miss the chance that Paul
Had grabbed so long ago
When he had used the 'unknown god'
To point to Christ below

So much is wrong, the skeptics claim
In all this celebration
But do they take the time to point
The world to Christ's salvation?

There is no better time to show
The reason that He came
His birth - death – resurrection
Redemption in His Name!

How can we cling to prejudice
And miss the chance each year
To sing His praise from grateful hearts
For this lost world to hear?

In Christ,

Ron

 i dont understand.

Janice, you wrote:

Quote:
What place does this Roman Catholic mumbo-jumbo have here?

It is clear from their promoting this site, the management on this forum has gone completely off the narrow path.

"Come out of her!!!!!"

I do not support the Roman Catholic Church, if by being a member of this forum it appears that I do, I remove myself.

White Stone




those charges are indeed knife edged, and i dont have anything in the Lord, common with the roman institution. so before i wrote a word in response, i looked over all the sisters material, all the websites, the writings, the testimonies, ministry....everything.....and i dont see what you are seeing, i dont see the basis of your accusations.

these sisters are particpants of a God honoring ministry, the Work of Jesus there is just so encouraging, that i wonder why you come out with guns ablazing...i dont get it....why?...could you tell me...neil

 Re: i dont understand.

The sisters have a place over here in Australia which isn't too far from where I live, and I know they go out into the street every now and then and hand out tracts and tell people the good news which is more than I can say for 99.9% of churches over here in Australia. I have read most of Basilea Schlink's books and have yet to read anything out of place. I know Art Katz went to the sisters place in Germany and said as soon as he walked on to their property he felt the presence of God. Also one of the best little daily devotionals you can get ( in my opinion ) is by Basilea Schlink called " More precious than gold ".

 Re:

Let me offer a thought on this. From my perspective, the Catholic and Lutheran churches are the same. I think they and their founders are both entirely anti-Christ apostates. However, it is amazing how God uses people in the most unusual places.

I wouldn't reject Saint Francis just because he was a Catholic. If he were alive today, I don't know where he would go to church, but I am sure he would find any of our churches and our lifestyles either too worldly or too materialistic.

Anyway, sure. Your post stands. I don't know of any present-day Lutheran church that has a testimony for Christ. But do what Christ did. See people as individuals and examine their fruits. Maybe they have more than most of us?
