Christmas Challenge?

You're lucky. My wife's a nurse. Tells me to stop eating all that bacon.

 

I like Don's idea and will strive to implement it.

My wallet tells me to stop eating it. Can't believe the prices for bacon lately.

 

It's an excellent challenge.

I just wonder why we only think of these things around Christmas and Easter when it should be an everyday occurrence instead of something to check off our Christian " to Do" list.

Just saying.:flower:

 

Oh if only Jesus had come as a Reagan Republican spouting against abortion and homosexuality and all things anti-Obama instead of as the loving Savior of the world. Perhaps that would have been more inspiring all year round for today's evangelical church.

 

Ah, I see Zaac is in mind-reading mode today, "why do we only think of these things around Christmas and Easter", switching over from judge and jury. Or is he multi-tasking?

Carry on.

 

Don....you have military in your background correct. Yes so just remember your dealing with a civilian.....right.:thumbs:

 

Dio we have to wait until Christmas Eve or Day?

 

Do you mean say that to someone we know who will accept the message in a positive way, to someone we are sure will be unaccepting of it, to someone we think will be hostile toward it, or to someone we have no idea of how it will be taken? Or maybe one of each category?

 

Sure. But I'm pretty sure I already have, a number of times, and been met with stares as if I'm an alien.

I tend to get really specific on stuff like that and go with exactly what the greeting should be. :laugh:

It may also be fun to go with "BEHOLD! I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY!" and then see if anyone comes over and asks what the news is. (though they'd probably just arrest you out here for not having a permit to hold a public gathering...)

 

Perhaps you just took it negatively because you don't do it all the time and have to be inspired to do what you're suggesting only at certain times of the year?

I said it was an excellent idea and simply wondered why wait for Christmas and Easter to do this?

I find it ridiculous how Christians have to be told to do what they should already be doing as another lil task to check off and pat themselves on the back for being such good Christians.

Do folks not need to know "Peace on earth, good will to men" and "Christ died for me and you" any other time of the year or only when certain Christians feel the need to make themselves feel more Christian because of the Christmas or Easter season?

Not saying that yours is, but people tend to view this sort of thingas disingenuous. Where were you the rest of the year?

So again it's an excellent idea. Just one that should be done all the time.:thumbsup:

 

:laugh: I see it now Gina. You start with BEHOLD and a cop appears and "Hey you! Move it along!!!:laugh:
