Comment on The Cult(ure) of Christmas by Susana

Nov30Sabrina Davenport I don’t think that is the meassge at all. I think it is poking fun at all the PC police and the retailers that make huge profits off Christmas but won’t allow there sales clerks to say Merry Christmas..or look whats happening in RI. They are putting up a “Holiday Tree”…What is that? What other Holiday outside of Christmas puts up a tree? Look at the name of the Choir, ACLU. Put your thinking caps on:)

I love this discussion, Brent. As you know, we are learning much of this now at ECC. The value and power of team has to exceed the value and power of me, in my own mind, or I won’t be willing to surrender the autonomy I’m used to for the team to succeed.

Love TEAM!

Read this one quite a number of years ago. Agree it is a good one.

Another good very quick read is The Go-Getter. Revised in 2003 from 1921 original.

Good list. I’m in the middle of the Tipping Point right now, but both Bonhoeffer and Addicted to Mediocrity sound incredible! I might have to pay Amazon a visit…(or just borrow your copies :) )

@Brent What caught me is all the kids in the background singing. I would be curious how many of their parents actually follow the advice of this song. They won't be getting any christmas gifts if they do. Of all the things to write a song about and put energy and effort into producing this is not the message I would want to communicate. So many other important messages could be communicated.

I didnt make that connection. Keep consumerism away from Christ? What would we do without scripture mints?

I am as annoyed as the next person that our culture as a whole is being forced into a fear of the word “Christmas”, but the LAST thing that Christians need to do is to fight to strengthen the tie between material consumerism and the birth of Christ. I have never thought about it in this way before, but maybe the “Happy Holidays” movement has an upside. It keeps corporate greed one step removed from a sacred day of worship.

Remembering well all the emotions and stress that are involved in moving we will remember you in our prayers. There is such a peace that comes with being where God wants you. Stay close to Him and He will fit together all the pieces.

It is a great web site with lots of resources. Totally worth following! Thanks Laura!

I also enjoyed the Next Christians! Young Christians especially should get their hands on it and read the material at qideas.org.

I hope you check out more of what Lyons is up to as he works with Christian Restorers. I think this is where the church needs to go.
