I continue to listen to Christmas music. Some of it is so secular I skip it. Some is basically secular, brings a lot of warm fuzzies and still has some truth mixed in. Imagine getting any truth out of “Here Comes Santa Claus”.
I was listening for the warm fuzzies but some of the words punched through. One of the reasons this might be banned by our secular pagans is a line like this,
“He doesn't care if your rich or poor for he loves you just the same.The last part may be theologically questionable but the idea of equality found in the Christian message is clearly stated. No Critical Race Theory, no white privilege, no group identity, just the message that we are all equal before God.
Santa knows that we're God's children, that makes everything right.”
Then there is this line,
“Peace on earth will come to all if we just follow the light.”It might require some explanation of what is meant by “light” but a little investigation would find,
(1Jn 1:5 KJV) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.So even a song written by Gene Autry might have a message that could change lives. All it requires is a bit of listening and thinking.
Keep playing the songs of Christmas and praying that the message will get out.
