A Pagan Holiday

[Sue J Love]

‘Twas the night before Easter,
And all through the land,
The people were shopping,
And making their plans.

Their garments were ready,
All neatly designed
With trimmings a plenty,
But gloves hard to find.

Their baskets were filled up
With colorful eggs,
And candies, and chocolates,
That many did crave.

The morning arrived and
They went to their church,
They sang with the music,
And for truth they searched.

They listened to the preacher
Expecting to hear
The story of Easter,
That he’d make that clear.

But what if he told you
Of its pagan roots?
The worship of idols
Like Santa with boots?

The blending of pagan
With worship of Christ
Forbidden by God is
A truth taken heist.

Remember that Jesus
Took our sins on Him,
So Him we would worship
And now live for Him.

While i may agree with this, you should know that every day of the year is dedicated to one false god or another....are you going to let that stop you from worshiping the one true God? Get a life!
Jesus did not stop preaching just because He was talking to the children of the devil

There was nothing in this poem suggesting that anyone should stop worshiping the one true God - Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. Nor was there anything suggesting that anyone should stop preaching the truth of the gospel. I worship the one true God every day and I preach (share, proclaim) the gospel of our salvation every day, several times a day. The point is that we are not to worship false gods of any kind, especially not in combination with what we regard as worship of the one true God. God forbids this. If we are going to truly worship Jesus Christ, biblically speaking, it is via our surrender of our lives to him as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to him, which is our reasonable and acceptable worship of him. And we are not to be conformed to the ways of this sinful world but we are to be transformed in heart and mind away from worldly ways to now walking in holiness and righteousness in obedience to our Lord and no longer in sin, all in the power of God (see Romans 12:1-2). Sin should no longer be our practice.
