Rev. A.J. Ogden

Christmas, being the most important holiday of all, celebrating the birth of Jesus into the world, is the best loved and the most hated holiday! It is naturally most loved by truly born again believers in Jesus, the Christ of Christmas. On the other hand Satan, the devil, and all the demons of Hell hate even the mention of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

There is something wrong with any person, group, or organization who tries to omit God from our Christmas activities at this glorious season of the year. They are either lost or misled by the devil, and truly deceived when wanting to get rid of God from our celebrations. Isaiah the prophet said seven or eight hundred years before the birth of Christ, the following, Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah looked forward to Jesus coming and he did come; we know he came!

So I hope you will join me in saying, “By God’s grace and with his help I will do the following: I will praise him without being ashamed; I will worship the God of Christmas openly. I do not have to apologize to any unbelievers for saying God, Christmas, or putting him first and foremost in all I do, say, or think! I’ll give him first place in my heart because he certainly did that for me at Calvary. I’ll not compromise my commitment to please anyone who doesn’t love Christ. When people come to my country they should know we stand for Jesus. He made America.”

I support having scripture up on the walls of jails, courthouses, dog houses, or anywhere else. The Ten Commandments need to be nailed up on any or all public places. Schools need prayer to a true and living God, and they need it worse than anything else.

I expect people who move here from other countries to respect my rights to worship as I please in a nation like America. They should learn our language, respect our flag, support our right to worship, or ship out!
