A Unilateral Declaration of Armistice on War on Christmas

Each Year I groan when some well mean but misguided Christian or non believer brings up the so called war on Christmas.  So today I bring:

 A Unilateral Declaration  of Armistice  on War on Christmas

Whereas the unregenerate does not know Christ nor give him glory because he or is dead in trespasses and sin. (Romans 1:18-32)

Therefore Whereas it is not the nature or duty of the unregenerate to proclaim Christ apart from Christ bring the sinner into  himself  though repentance and forgiveness of sin that come though  the preaching of the Gospel , and that  by faith as a gift from God.

Whereas is the Job of the Church and Christian to proclaim Christ and him crucified.

I Richard do declare Unilateral Declaration of Armistice on War on Christmas.

1.  I call for an immediate cessation of all hostilities, protest, boycotts and monitoring of all stores and business who do not acknowledge Christmas.
   1.  this does not apply to Churches who claim to be Christian but deny Christ
2.  It is not the duty of Walmart , Target or any other store  nor it is to duty of any  Christian  to demand  employees and management to  acknowledge the season by saying Merry Christmas.
3. As per 1 Corinthians 5: 9-13 we shall not prohibit ourselves doing business with any secular business that does not support Christmas.
4. Therefore it is the job of the Christian, by the Grace of God working us, to proclaim Christ and wish employees and management merry Christmas.
5. Whereas we should be grateful if one can display a nativity scene in a public place, but it is not the job of a secular state to proclaim Christ; this is the job the Church. Therefore we should work, as in the case of Santa Monica, to move such display to Private property and remind those like the Freedom form Religion our rights to freely express or religion granted by the First Amendment and property rights.
6. If a secular school prohibit or change Christmas to “Holiday or Winter Celebration” the Christian should question why are they turning over the education of their children to a secular intuition rather than protesting the change. It is the job of the Christian parent and Church to raise and properly catechize children into the faith not by and trusting a secular education system.
7. We shall not as Christian fret about consumerism during the holiday season. Instead we should be ready to share the good news of the Gospel this most Holy season.
