Hope you are all enjoying your ongoing Christmas celebration! Remember, Christmas is never over! Don’t let the party poopers and sad sacks and traditions of men choke out your joy.
There is a great deal of nonsense floating around about this time of year. The “You Musters” are out there in force. “You must stop celebrating Christmas the day after Christmas!” “You must yank down your decorations before the first of the year!” Yadda, Yaddda, Yadda!
Christmas isn’t a day or a season. It is eternal, and we get to choose to celebrate it as we wish. Christmas is not about the decorations and hoo-hah anyway. It’s our time to meditate on the length to which God went to save and bless us because of His eternal, infinite, incomprehensible, and unconditional love for us!
The wonderful thing about “Christmas Time” is that the whole world watches and hears us proclaim God’s mercy, compassion, grace, love, and Peace. Unfortunately, it is the one time each year when all believers sing, praise, and express their gratitude to God, which is what we should do every day of every year.
If your way of doing that is to put up decorations, don’t let buzz killers dictate when you need to stop.
“SLAM ON THE CHRISTMAS BRAKES, IT’S NEW YEAR!”
Sadly, this ridiculous tradition is supported by most “believers”.
ABOUT THE CRAZINESS OF WORSHIPPING NEW YEARS
This may come as a shock, but there is no such thing as time in God’s world. God did not invent time; men did. It is merely a system of chronicling the times the Earth turns.
Here is what God says about time:
“That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has passed.”
(Solomon, Ecclesiastes 3:15)
Meaning: There is no such thing as time. The present is the past, and the future is the past. Simply put, time is just a human invention that makes men believe they have a grip on reality. Even Einstein’s theory of relativity is just that, a theory, based on the assumption that a second is a second. So “New Year’s” is just a day. It is no different than any other day. Yet, it has become the holy grail of days. It has become an excuse to pound alcohol and stop the mail. It is a man-made party, and the “You-Musters” demand that our Christmas celebration yield to it. How crazy is that?
YOU DID IT!
So if we accept the boundaries of the artificial time realm, and presume that this is indeed the end of the year 2025, let’s heap praise on Jesus and you for what you achieved in that grouping of seconds.
At our board of directors meeting on the 19th of December, our social media and marketing director, Bianca Farish, reported that, according to Facebook statistics, we delivered the Gospel of Jesus to 2.4 million people who shared our messages with 500 people each. This statistic produces a huge number.
In addition, your generous giving enabled us to produce 60 “Good News, of Great Joy Which Shall Be To All People”, podcast episodes, which, thanks to Bianca’s brilliant work, are now available on every major podcast platform, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, and iHeartRadio. If you are not familiar with these venues, it is okay; your children or Grandchildren are.
In the coming “Year,” our strategy is to promote these podcasts, continue to build our library, and enter new communication worlds on Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms to expand our reach and grow our audience.
Thanks to your partnership and support, we are going to have a phenomenal “2026”. As you all know, our primary goal is to obey Jesus’s command to take the Gospel into all the world, and that is precisely what we will do.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
That is all, folks—end of teaching.
May the joy and gladness of Jesus overcome you as you celebrate His love and the Great and Precious Promises that He has lavished on us.
May you walk in the “Good News of Great Joy That Shall Be To All People” and believe and receive The Peace that God declared to all men at the moment of His birth as a human!
I hope you can take time to meditate on, praise, and love Jesus, and to soak in the presence of Holy Spirit.
