How to have a real Christmas

Saturday, December 21, 2024, 10:33 am | Randy Thomasson

Before I get into the good news of Christmas, let me explain why fewer people celebrate real Christmas.

The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848 can be summarized in six points: Abolish private property, abolish the Natural Family, abolish individuality (replace with groupism), abolish religion and morality (especially Christianity and Christian virtues), abolish nations and borders, and abolish history.

So when you hear more “Happy Holidays” and less “Merry Christmas,” you know that Communism is ravenously erasing history and religion on U.S. soil. But at Christmastime, submission to anti-Christ forces is largely voluntary. So I urge you — choose “Merry Christmas” and the Real Reason for CHRISTmas!

Stop and realize that six decades ago, “Merry Christmas” and “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” was central in our American culture. Yes, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, used to be popularly honored this time of year. Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, you’d hear on mainstream radio stations Silent Night sung by Johnny Mathis; Mary’s Little Boy Child sung by Harry Belafonte; and Do You Hear What I Hear? sung by Bing Crosby.

To inspire you to honor Jesus Christ in your heart, mind, and soul, listen to these excellent recordings:

Mary’s Boy Child (1957, sung by Harry Belafonte)
Silent Night (1958, sung by Johnny Mathis, plus his first Christmas album)
Do You Hear What I Hear? (1963, sung by Bing Crosby)
The Little Drummer Boy (1965, sung by The Harry Simeone Chorale)

And to inspire your whole family (you can play these for hours), here are 129 “Christ Centered Christmas Songs.” Deanna, who posted on YouTube these contemporary, beautiful Christmas song recordings, wrote, “The reason for Christmas is Christ, not a ‘winter wonderland.'” This is historically and spiritually true!

Lastly, before your family’s gift exchange, I encourage you to open your Bible to the Gospel of Luke, and read the real Christmas story in Chapters 1 and 2. Let the truth of CHRISTmas touch your souls and make you glad!

“The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas.”
U.S. Christian evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018)

How to have a real Thanksgiving

Tuesday, November 26, 2024, 5:25 pm | Randy Thomasson

What’s the real meaning of Thanksgiving?

Turn the word around and it’s GivingThanks.

But to whom do you give thanks (since you thank a person)?

On Thanksgiving Day and hopefully every day, humble, in-reality people will thank Creator God in Jesus’ Name for His creation, sustenance, Word, love, etc. Because, without Him, we’d be nothing and have nothing!

A great way to help those at your table give God glory is to ask, “What are you thankful to God for?” This substantive question, when safely and patiently asked, helps others give God the credit where credit is due. (You might need to remind them, “What do you specifically thank God for?” instead of just being glad about something.)

See these videos to stimulate you and others to praise Creator God in Jesus’ Name: Thankful | Thank You God

Remember, a grateful heart helps everyone. So challenge yourself to be thankful. Take a minute to reignite your soul to thank the Author of Life for air, food, water, and our basic necessities. Focus on the One who made the sun in the sky, the oceans, the animals, every original food and substance, and all we rely on, including the ground we walk on.

Lastly, stop and realize there are two types of people: Those who sincerely thank God, and those who “did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful” (Romans 1:21). And consider how thanking God not only gives God His due, but also calms your mind, since gratitude and worry cannot coexist in the same moment.

“…that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 5:45

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
From the 1674 Christian hymn by English Pastor Thomas Ken

Newsom & Democrats hike their gas tax — again

Sunday, November 10, 2024, 1:47 pm | Randy Thomasson

Your California gas tax, the highest in the nation, is going up again, thanks to your Democrat Party “rulers.”

Gavin Newsom’s appointees on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) say they’re going to impose regulations that will likely increase the price per gallon of regular gasoline by 47 cents. But more honest analysis projects CARB’s anti-people agenda will increase your gas tax by 65 cents next year and 20 cents more per gallon by 2030.

When Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom (he appointed most of the CARB board members) dramatically hiked your gas taxes on November 8, SaveCalifornia.com joined others in blowing the whistle to alert you what you get with the Democrats:

Bottom line, it’s inhuman for government not to allow people to be supplied with a stable, cheap form of energy, which is cleaner than ever.

Evil government preventing this cheap, stable energy supply prostitutes itself to the environmental-wacko groups that greatly devalue people and people’s life necessities.

Please use these facts to tell others Democrat politicians are responsible for high energy prices (both gasoline and electricity).

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in John 10:10
