Thanks, Maria! Yes, I have the urge to repost some of my X Mass articles every time I see “Christmas” in this beautiful summer month. Perhaps people are a bit more receptive to finding out why Christians should abandon the tradition of men “holy” day this time of year-it gives them time to embrace it or reject it but also to research it more.
Have a blessed day!

Sherry, I agree that this time of year presents a better opportunity to present the truth about worship that pleases the Lord and to be heard. Glad you posted this and am happy to help. You have a blessed day too, a day of praise!

Hi Maria, As you might know, I take a more moderate stand on the Christmas, Easter, “holiday” issue. I don’t go out of my way to “celebrate” them, but they’re not a litmus test issue for me. I think we can use the “holidays” for the Lord’s purposes. Here’s a blog post I found to be interesting on Calvin and “holidays.” We probably won’t ever agree on this but I respect your beliefs.

Thanks, Maria! Lord bless you, too! We can certainly share our differing viewpoints on these secondary issues with respect and love. Our faith in Christ unites us and peripheral issues needn’t divide us.

Reread this post and I have to say that Calvin was rather strict about this will-worship of men. He must have heard, “But my heart is right” or, “Its done with good intentions” many a time for he says, “But a good intention, i.e., an insane license of daring whatever man pleased, was deemed the perfection of worship.” Kinda made me giggle a bit thinking of him emphasizing the part I bolded to his congregation, leaning forward over the pulpit to make sure they heard him…

Sherry, I just reread your post and enjoyed it. Calvin’s statements about will-worship are clear and forceful. The Lord has sent us many such men, pastors after His own heart.
