It is end of year package not Christmas package. As a staff you are entitled to any package you received from an organisation you are working for. It is part of your salary. You have worked for it.

My own is, let us do what we do in moderation.

But if we want to go by what we humans do in a regular basis, some of us will not even be alive today because na Gods wrath we for don chop since.

Weather you are celebrating Christmas or New Year or even Middle year, do all in sobriety and in moderation.

Colossians 2:16-23 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

In christiandom, weather you celebrate Christmas or not is never a crime and optional. Choosing a day to mark a day Christ was born for our redemption worth celebrating. Jesus doesn't need to tell his followers to celebrate or not. How significant you weigh it in your mind will form your opinion or basis? God looks at the motive behind what man does. Jesus is loving saviour, he wouldn't have condemned such when he weighs motive behind the celebration.

It is not everything human knows how to do right in the presence of God, but his loving kindness shines on his followers with right motives weather you celebrate it or not. Even ordinary prayer, followers don't know how to pray right, it is the Holy Spirit that intercedes and reveal our right motives on prayer to God for answer. A compassionate Jesus that went about showing His loving kindness to sinners and humble hearts when he came to dwell among men can not condemn certain Christians for celebrating His birth or not. He doesn't need to tell Christians to do so before they do it or not. Jesus is loving, compassionate, kind and holy. If it were self-claimed prophet Mohammed, you can predict him because he doesn't love except hatred, killings, murder and law upon law. Mohammed can kill for celebrating his birth or not because he was full of hatred and wickedness.

However, Jesus is loving, he can't condemn certain followers because they celebrate him or not. At times, we only put unnecessary load upon ourselves that loving Christ never require from us

I wish I could up vote this 1000 times.

The fact remains that Jesus Christ was born, even if we don't know the actual date & month he was born, and when he died, as Christians we need to celebrate Christmas.
God I appreciate you today for giving mankind the greatest gift ever and thank you Jesus Christ for making yourself available.

Several of us acknowledge the fact that there are some reservations about Christmas. Notwithstanding, the birth any day could have been chosen to celebrate the birth if Christ.

Besides for enemies of Christianity who want to be hypcrite, they should remember that some muslims celebrate Birth of Prophet Mohammad whereas majority of muslims do not celebrate it
Thank you Sir.

I believe the reasons of the seventh day Adventist church and the Deeper Christian life Ministries

Even though I am from an evangelical church that does it, I personally shun it after realizing the truth

I wish well to those who do and earnestly pray that they'll realize the truth without sentiment

But nothing will shake my belief in Christ the Messiah the Son of God
What you realize is not true bro, search more, people always come up with conjunctions to make them look better than others in the end what they are pushing is not divine revelation but human agenda to divide the body of Christ and make themselves important. How many of the things & ideologies that Deeper Life has propagated over the years have they come now to change.. The Church fathers of old are more grounded in faith and loyalty to the Lord Jesus than all the so called men of God that we have today who are only looking for the glory and fame of this world.

CHURCH OF CHRIST

REASON


A MESSAGE ON CHRISTMAS
Tomorrow is December 25. In many countries, many will celebrate it as the Christmas day while others will carry on with their normal life. If you are celebrating Christmas, here's a message for you.

You're likely going to celebrate this Christmas in fanciful clothes, with fanciful church service, Christmas trees and delicious meals. Some will tell you how demonic Christmas is because of historical synopsis at their disposal. The celebration has evolved over time and it's origin is so far from us in time that such condemnations make little or no sense now. So enjoy yourselves; it's a holiday. But do your best to avoid these profane lies that celebrators of Christmas have been indulging in over the years.

One, don't say Christ was born on Christmas day. Know that "in the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and He was God" (John.1.1). The Word is Jesus Christ. He has no beginning and no ending. He already existed in the beginning. "He was with God, and He was God." It is a caustic profanity to limit the eternal One to His Humanity as if He was only human as we are. "He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that He didn't make. Life itself was in Him, and this life gives light to everyone" (John.1.2-4).

Two, don't teach others Christ was born on Christmas day. It is an absurd disfigurement of the psychology of humanity to sing that aweful song which has the lyrics "Christ was born on Christmas day." This is more so when children are taught to repeat it.

Three, don't say three wise men visited Christ at His birth. Here's the passage that talks about wise men visiting baby Jesus: "Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem. They entered the house where the child and His mother, Mary, were, and they fell down before Him and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh" (Matt.2.1,11). Please, note that the number of wise men is not mentioned. Avoid the fallacious assumption that since they gave Him three gifts, they were three in number. You have given someone more than one gift before. That didn't make you many people, right?.

If you don't celebrate Christmas, don't be abrasive; be educative. The world needs enlightenment not lightening. If they give you a bonus in your office this season, take it with thanksgiving. If someone says Merry Christmas, tell them, Happy holidays. Be nice.

Selah 🙌

No mind the hypocrites, they should choose their own day to celebrate Christ if they value him as their Savior not to waste precious time criticizing others who are doing the right thing.
JESUS MUST BE CELEBRATED.

Are you more Christian than the founder of deeper life? All the church's mentioned are Christian church so who is the enemy of Christianity if not Christians themselves.?

Is the founder of deeper life an angel

celebrating Christmas or not isn't the passport of heaven

Funny he said it has demonic history, even kumuyi forefathers were idol worshippers

Even him was a former white garment background

Anyone can make his own doctrine

The excuse of December 25th not been the birth day of Christ for not celebrating Christmas is selective practice and does not pass the smell test.

These same churches celebrate Easter, the death and resurrection of Christ despite these dates not known to the Bible.

Even the Sunday we go to church is alleged to be associated with idolatry and the worship of the Sun God.

All these dates are symbolic, we know that we don’t know the actual dates because they were not recorded but we believe these events took place hence the symbolic ceremonies.

Even the date January 1st is a different date and day back then because we used different calendar and counting systems.

So chill out and enjoy your Christmas meal without quilts.
