I sit in my family room I chose not to sit in our living room with the tree my family put up.

Trees everywhere decorated with glitter and tinsel churches stores everywhere I am trying to seperate from a "Christmas Tree" tradition, I don't want any gifts, spoiler told my children Santa was an excuse for children to thank sometime other then Jesus for stuff!

Literally on the couch! But I have bigger concerns! Just read this Jerimiah 10!
I will be suprised if this is posted tradition of men has been substituted for real worship in spirit and any Christian who says that is portrayed as Scrooge the Grinch etc and shunned over ridden by their families!

The church ceiebrates Christmas their fathers did with trees etc no Christian did until the mid 1800's! I would say read Jerimiah 10 but they would not or explan its not really that or the New Testament notified the old whaaat?

Ok I prayed sitting on the couch and asked God what He wanted to show me and guys I opened to this!


Jeremiah 10
King James Version (KJV)
10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

(The elect are grafted in)

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

(Comet Ison, Meteors, solar flares)

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

(The Lacidonian Church has the appearance of God but not the power of the spirit worship in vain traditions)

6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

(God is real Hes all powerful and here is what He thinks of putting up Trees and calling it worship)

8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

(May remember Santa was an advertising gimmick from the 40's cunning men)

10 But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

(What we really should be doing working out our salvation)

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

18 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

(Look below the word pastors, really! Can you imagine a hired pastor telling his congregation they were not putting a tree up because its not biblical and that December 25th really was not Jesus birthday)

21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

(Guys the Lacidonian Church here)

22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

(Is this Gog and Magog after Christmas some year?)

23 O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

24 O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Your in more Dutch with your family and the church and the world if you say the Christmas tree is vanity, Santa is not real, and Jesus was born on the Feast of Booths then saying anything else!

I can no longer worship in vain traditions nor can I seem to get others to listen that God is not up there going oh good they put the tree up He is saying well just read for yourself.

Jesus is soon coming and when everyone is drinking and asleep Christmas night I would be watching sober awake!

Like a thief in the night?

It's not the jolly fat guy you need to be Good for!
