How to put Jesus first at Christmas

We at SaveCalifornia.com believe in God and family — and we know families that pray together tend to stay together.

So we are strong advocates of returning Christmas to its true meaning as the “festival of Christ.” Because anyone who believes in Jesus can and should renew their excitement about Jesus during Christmas.

Remember that Christmas is about a miracle: the Incarnation where the Word became flesh and God became man; and the Birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world, proclaiming Good News that people’s sins can be forgiven.

In light of the amazing love of God revealed through Jesus Christ, believers should resist personal and cultural traditions that diminish adoration of Christ at Christmas. It’s a struggle. But at His own birthday celebration, shouldn’t Jesus be the center of attention?

SaveCaliforniaMinute_122313_200X160Listen to my SaveCalifornia.com Minute for ideas on how to glorify Jesus at Christmas, such as: reading aloud from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke about the incarnation and birth of Jesus, talking about it, and praying to Him.

Other ideas include singing songs of praise, watching a good “Jesus film,” and sharing around the table why you appreciate Jesus. What can you come up with?

Despite being criticized for being “too religious” Schultz got his way in his 1965 movie. Enjoy this classic moment from this classic film as Linus explains to Charlie Brown the true meaning of Christmas.

You and your family need a tough bulldog

Bulldog-1050x1050

Some have called SaveCalifornia.com a “bulldog” for family values. I really like that. Because moral citizens need a tough defender on their side like never before. Just look at the increased attacks against your moral values, your Biblical beliefs, your parental rights, and your freedom of speech.

Right now, the Intolerant Left and “LGBT” activists are having a heyday. The A&E/Duck Dynasty conflict is just one example of the very real war against you, me, and everyone who believes in moral virtues for the common good.

And it’s a stark reminder of the need for moral citizens to unite together. Which is why I’m asking for your help today.

For nearly 15 years, SaveCalifornia.com has been that much-needed bulldog for you and your family. Working, speaking, and fighting for you.

Faithfully championing your values. Representing your voice in the media. Alerting California fathers and mothers to the moral attacks upon their children. Empowering parents and grandparents to take action. Helping citizens stand up for what’s right in God’s sight. Combating the Liberal Left.

I know you’re moving quickly in this busy season. But if you haven’t done so yet, will you take a moment to financially empower us so we can strengthen our voice for you and your family in 2014?

It’s a privilege to serve you. THANK YOU for considering how you can help today.

From my heart to yours, JOYous CHRISTmas.

The attack on Duck Dynasty is an attack on you

Thursday, December 19, 2013, 3:55 am | Randy Thomasson

Phil Robertson preaching from the Bible

If you’re bothered by the homosexual activists and the A&E Channel attacking free speech, family values, religious freedom, and Christianity itself, you’re not alone.

For a long time now, SaveCalifornia.com has been educating folks that not only is homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality unnatural, unhealthy, and unbiblical, but that it’s also intolerant and tyrannical, punishing peaceful dissenters.

You see, real tolerance is to disagree with someone on moral or biblical grounds…but to not punish them for disagreeing with you.

This principle of true tolerance emanates from the 1689 Toleration Act allowing freedom of conscience for Christians who disagreed with the Church of England.

But look what’s happened. Homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists have turned “tolerance” upside down and inside out. Today in our land, homosexual activists and their supporters will punish you unless you agree with them. That’s the very definition of intolerance, and when enforced by law, the very definition of unconstitutional tyranny.

Wake up, America! When you support so-called “gay rights,” you in fact oppose free speech and religious freedom. How many more bakers, photographers, flower shop owners, hotel owners, and property owners have to be victimized by “LGBT” activists and “LGBT” laws? How many more times will moral values be punished before people stop voting for pro-“LGBT” politicians?

Ultimately, you cannot have so-called “gay” rights or “LGBT” rights (which aren’t civil rights at all because it is based on non-biological, changeable behavior) and at the same time maintain religious freedom and free speech in America. They are mutually exclusive.

Visit SaveCalifornia.com’s Not Born This Way

Watch Phil Robertson’s Christian testimony (30-min.)

ACTION: Send an email to A&E Channel at aefeedback@aenetworks.com, and write something like this: In the United States, we are supposed to have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, something A&E has squashed by punishing the personal beliefs of Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty. A&E needs to apologize to Mr. Robertson and keep the show, or I will no longer watch A&E.
