Dr. Barclay: The Bible Is The Greatest Parenting Book.
Marketing is very powerful. Children have learned and seen Disney characters since they were infants, all because of a mouse almost one hundred years ago.
Proverbs 22:5-6
Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.
He who guards his soul will be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Many times today children are not trained in the way they should go. Parents have let the marketers and Disney characters do the training. However the Bible speaks very clearly about parental responsibility and how it cannot be neglected at all costs.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Rise up a child in they way they should go, then in spite of all the magic and all the TV., they will not depart from it.

Pastor Caroline: From The Manger To The Cross
Sadly today many people are wrapped up in the heaviness of Christmas and they are not looking to Jesus as they should. Without Jesus at Christmas we would not have the cross. Joseph did not father Jesus in the physical but fathered him in faith. At Christmas we receive the gift of love and life. At Easter we receive the gift of forgiveness and eternal salvation. Remember the spirit of Christmas is joy and peace and the reason is Jesus.
