Through signs in our yards, or the sweaters we wear, to even the jewelry we put on, this time of year provides a stage to proclaim what we believe. It has become a time of year in which people of other faiths or no faith at all tolerate a little Christian joy. However,
as time goes on the tolerance is shrinking for those who want to proclaim the birth of their Savior. We see the workplace, the stores, the media, and even our neighbors asking that we all be aware of how a nativity scene can be offensive or even the phrase “Merry Christmas”.
Their goal is to be all inclusive during the holidays.
