Should Christians Celebrate Christmas [Part 1]

GFR Cover Image On this week’s show Pastor Joe Schimmel discusses an issue that is raised every year around this time – is it okay for Christians to celebrate Christmas? There are many charges made against celebrating Christmas, and while many of these are seemingly valid, what does scripture have to say about this subject? Is it okay to celebrate our Lord’s birth and the fact that God became a man to die for the sins of the world? In Part 1 of this multi-part series, Pastor Joe looks at how the Jehovah’s Witnesses have influenced the notion that celebrating Christmas is wrong, the notion that it is “creature worship.” We realize that many listeners may also have questions concerning the pagan connections to Christmas, as well as other questions. These topics will be addressed in later shows in this series, so tune in each week!
