Wow, we’re talking about Christmas already. Time sure flies!
More and more businesses are removing “Christmas” from Christmas. Happy Holidays from Costco and others…. Personally, however, I’m not too disturbed when our secular nation rejects a Christian holiday. For the first 300 years of Christianity all secular nations rejected all Christian holidays, and they persecuted us to boot.
R.C. Sproul’s radio broadcast Renewing Your Mind is offering daily specials. Yesterday I gave a gift to receive a copy of Sproul’s new kid’s book, The Prince’s Poison Cup. They gave an audio cd of it along with the book. Today, for any gift, you can get a new Christmas music CD (The Word Became Flesh), with narration of the Christmas story. Check it out.
I read an interesting post over at Parchment and Pen challenging many of the traditional trappings to the Christmas story. You think Christ was born in a lonely stable built into a cave away from the town? With no happy relatives there assisting? They say think again. Makes me want to research this topic out even further….
Finally, I’m going to strongly suggest that you stay tuned to BibleGeekGoneWild.com. Shaun Tabatt has an announcement to make this weekend. Something about tons of free book offers in the 12 days before Christmas. It may be in your best interest to follow his blog over the next couple of weeeks 😉 . UPDATE: here’s the link to Shaun’s announcement.
Great leads to good reads, bro. Thanks for the pointers! 🙂
I try.
Bob,
The announcement for Bible Geek Gone Wild’s 12 Days Before Christmas has been posted. LINK
Wow, just noticed my spelling of weeeks! [Okay, I’m correcting that spelling now….]
The graphic looks good Shaun, looking forward to the contest.
Just found this deal at Costco store. What a great Christmas gift! Avalon Organics Lavender Hair Care Kit with 32 oz Shampoo + 11oz Conditioner for only $9.99. It was selling for $15.99 (regular retail price $27.40). Now, they’ve reduced price to $9.99! If you go to Costco today, the price will reflect $6.00 off with a new retail of $9.99. It is not a coupon, but it is signage with the $6.00 taken off at register.
