Secular Christmas

Christmas is a funny time in America. It's the only time of year where you'll here the Gospel of Jesus clearly preached in song over PA systems in shopping centers all over America, and across the airwaves of radio, even television. It is also, the only time of year your typical "family-friendly, listener-supported, Christian" radio station will play "secular" music by "secular" artists. On top of that, some of American Christianity's greatest musical saints can be heard singing blatently "secular" Holiday tunes. And, in the midst of all of this, most everybody is very happy with the arrangement: Christians are happy to hear the "secular" songs, and nonChristians are satisfied with the Gospel music. It's a funny time.

Maybe, it's a sign of the reconciliation Jesus came to do: eradicating our religiuos mumbo-jumbo for the sake of our souls by Truth.
