NO ONE but GOD can see a persons heart, only what they DO.
I didn't even have to read all that sisPhyllis wrote to know in my SPIRIT that the way this lost world pretends to celebrate xmas, is just a sham., and I don't care to be associated with it., or anything that can SEEM to be that I am compromising what I purely believe GOD has shown me.
I used to be one that xmas was my fav time of year, BUT..that was BEFORE HE wiped my slate clean, allowed me to start ANEW..and filled me with HIS SPIRIT so that I would then be able to discern, see through HIS EYES..and wow, what a view!
Amazing how things re-focus/CLEAR UP., so very different than what I saw before., I love my GOD-COLORED GLASSES.
TO each his own, I don't say anything to those I encounter still in that mindset, but I have managed quite well to live my life the last almost ten years, without much of the former worldly traditions that I ( and He) find
questionable.There
IS "LIFE" after xmas! A more abundant LIFE!
JMHO
