Why We Have Lost The Joy of Christmas

Luke 2:10  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

WHY WE HAVE LOST THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS

1. Money Has Taken Over The Holiday
2. Myths Have Taken Over The Holiday - Christmas should be about:
1. Christ, and not a Character
2. Calvary's Tree, and not a Christmas Tree
3. Christ's Empty Grave, not a Christian's Earthly Gifts.
3. Men Have Taken Over The Holiday
1. They have changed it - new name, music, etc.
2. They have conformed it - worldliness
3. They have criticized it - argue the date of birth, claim pagan origins, etc.
