Convenient Story
"...who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." (Romans 1:25 NKJV)
The holiday spirit is in the air; and many gift cards are getting wrapped and unwrapped. No matter the divergence in beliefs, everyone accepts this season of love. However, the truth of God (the Creator) is that this holiday is about the perfect gift He gave to us (the creatures). It makes sense to always emphasis the convenient story of love in all our relationships and avoiding conflict; but the reason for the season cannot be successfully exchanged. A convenient story of love without the theme of Christ is like a box of lies in a wrapper of truth.
