The holiday season is upon us once again. We will enjoy food and family at Thanksgiving, remember and be grateful for all God has done for us, and then spend a month or so reflecting on and rejoicing in his birth. So, as I often do, please allow me to start it all off with a bunch of random access musings that fit the season.
In the language of my kids, these will likely be even “more randomer” than normal.
If I were Santa Claus, I would not only put Nick Fuentes on my permanently naughty list, I would also bring only a Bible and history books to anyone who thinks he is worth following. And maybe also a basic primer on logic. And if you are blessed to not even know who that is, keep it that way, unless you like pouring filth directly into your heart.
Before all of the pious, frowning, “The Bible never commands us to celebrate the birth of Jesus” crowd gets started this year, be ready to remind them that the Bible also never commands us to celebrate each other’s birthdays or wedding anniversaries. The fact that we are not commanded to do something is not the same thing as being commanded not to do something. And if the births of regular people are worthy of celebration and commemoration, how much more so is the incarnation of Christ worthy of the same and more?
If you do not know what to get a good man for Christmas, remember that a really good knife is always a good choice, and one can never have too many.
