Message by Larry Thacker Jr. from December 19, “What Day Is This?
I have something to share with you that has caused me to question a belief I have had for years about Christmas. Yes, I think I was wrong, and since I shared one side with you before, it’s only right to share the other. It’s good news. It will strengthen your testimony. Does it change anything? Maybe not, but I think you will enjoy hearing it. There is no one central verse, for this message, but there are a couple that should inform our attitude and conduct regarding this as well as other issues.
Romans 14:5: One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
1 Peter 3:15: But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence
Whether or how you celebrate is a matter of your own heart before God. Whatever you do, be ready during this time of openness to share the good news with anyone who will hear it.
