Christian radio and Merry Christmas

If you like listening to contemporary Christian music and you are working at your computer many hours of the day, try listening to an internet radio station that plays a lot of different types of Christian music.

I listened to them all day and heard some new music that I would not hear on K-Love. I really like K-Love but Bigloo Radio plays a lot of independent artists that K-Love doesn't play. Try it for something different. It streams to your computer and plays in I-tunes or Windows Media Player.

Does it seem that there is a real attempt this year to stop the use of "Merry Christmas" and replace it with the generic "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings"? Our culture has succeeded in making Christ a side note to the Christmas holiday and now many stores are telling their employees to use the "Happy Holidays" greeting because they think they will offend a small minority of our population. Christ is not a side note of Christmas but IS Christmas! I think that every Christian should be offended by any merchant that will not allow their employees to greet people with simply "Merry Christmas".

I read about a backlash against Lowes who was putting a banner up that said "Happy Holidays" but in Spanish "Feliz Navidad", which means Merry Christmas. After a number of customers complained, Lowes removed the banner.

If you notice this at a merchant this year, tell them that you like the use of "Merry Christmas" and when you are greeted with Merry Christmas, thank the person for recognizing the Person that makes the holiday.

And, as the day approaches, try to focus on that Person rather than the presents you are going to buy. He is more interested in whats in your heart than whats in your wallet.
