That single line unlocked my understanding of the love of God and sin.

Totally! :)<BR/><BR/>I figured you were one of them. I got an iPod touch for Christmas, so I'm starting to get sucked into the Apple world. I've always loved Apple stuff, just never owned any of it.

Thanks guys. :)<BR/><BR/>Pat, I agree, the dates of many holidays were very interestingly chosen to correlate with pagan holidays. It makes me think that it was part "Christianizing" and part appeasement on the part of the church, i.e. we don't want to make Christians stop celebrating this pagan event like the rest of the world, but we want to have a Christian "spin" on it.<BR/><BR/>Nate, the

I liked your post and enjoyed reading a collective list of unbiblical Christmas beliefs.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it make more Biblical sense that the best way to explain what the multitude of the heavenly host were doing when they were "praising" was singing?<BR/><BR/>I would think we get that similar pattern from the book of Revelation.

Great post Chad. I probably would've led with "Tradition 'can be' a wonderful thing." I hate some of them. :)<BR/><BR/>Interesting note about the Catholics... most of the Christian holidays (sans Easter) are centered around the Catholic church trying to outdo or wipe out pagan holidays at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Have a great Christmas! Will you be at Drew's birthday party?

Nice blog today brother! Thanks for the reminder and the insight.

It's good to see that this issue is being addressed on a number of fronts from within the evangelical community now, because it's certainly been a problem that those on the "outside" have been aware of for too long now without any large scale efforts to correct it.

Thanks for the review Chad.<BR/>What I appreciate from books like this is the perspective it brings. We can argue about truth and practice - but not feelings. Sometimes if we're burned a certain way it shapes our viewpoints - and obviously part of our goal is to get over that wall!<BR/>This one may go on my wishlist!

Some great thoughts!<BR/>(though I don't see any electability in Ron Paul)
