Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Christmas Tradition

The song says, "Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled." What Christmas traditions do you observe that can be used to communicate the gospel to a world barely aware of Jesus during this time of year?

My family gives away Gospels of John to nearly everyone we meet when we go out during the month of December. We just walk up to people and say, "Merry Christmas! Here is a gift for you." One lady started to take a Gospel of John, then drew her hand back and asked, "Are you Jehovah's Witnesses? I won't take it if you are a Jehovah's Witness . . ." What a gospel opportunity!
