Joy. Merry Christmas. Noel. These three words are still being proclaimed in this season. By the world!

Joy - a fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Joy. Merry Christmas. Noel. 

These three words are being proclaimed 
in this season. 
Even by the secular world no less!

I love the Christmas season in America. Evergreen trees, created by our Almighty God, lite up with colored lights and commonly is found with an angel or star of Bethlehem on top; electric candles shining brightly in home windows; angels blowing trumpets (shofars!) hanging from street light poles; the celebratory giving of presents to one another. 

There are even nativity scenes in front yards of neighborhood homes, and yet still on some government building grounds! And of course Linus is still quoting Scripture on the 50-year old A Charlie Brown Christmas TV classic.

As Christians, we used to take it for granted that the United States, being a "Christian" nation, would always celebrate Christmas the way it has been for many decades, if not for the last two centuries. But that is all changing, as humanism and secularism continue to take root and grow their branches in all areas of American lives.

And yet it is a joy to see Merry Christmas all around many of our cities, proclaiming Noel in retail stores and even at car dealers. (That I know, as I took these three Christmas tree photos in a South Carolina car dealership just this week - Dec. 22, 2015.)

May the Lord's glory, His Name, and Jesus' holy character still be evermore proclaimed!!!  

So Merry Christmas, with the love of the Lord Jesus,

Christ (Messiah) is the heart of Christmas.


EL is Hebrew for God. 
Noel - "Know-EL", for the King Jesus (Yeshua) it is Who is born. 
And lives forevermore.
