WHICH STAR?

Many people count the Christmas Season as the greatest time of the Year. You may be surprised to know that this is not the case for myself. The demands from the community to fix their problems escalate in ways that are very draining.
For many years we burst our bubble trying to meet the community demands. Then a day or two before Christmas Day, start to think about our own Christmas celebrations. Well, I guess that will not change.
I do have great concerns about the commercialization of the Christmas celebration, with no regard to the wonderful provision of God incarnate.
I vehemently object to occult symbols subtily hijacking our Saviour’s birthday celebrations. I would encourage every reader to discard any stars with 5 points. This will not be an easy thing to do, as the community produce them by the truckload, but I believe that the benefits will follow.




Luke 2:11-14 (Message)
A Saviour has just been born in David's town, a Saviour who is Messiah and Master. This is what you're to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger."
At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God's praises:

Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.
