CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 23, 2022
ACCORDING TO SEVERAL POLLS CHRISTMAS DOESN’T MEAN WHAT IT USED TO MEAN TO A GENERATION OF YOUNGER PEOPLE.
AND YET NOTHING HAS CHANGED. MEN AND WOMEN ARE STILL SINNERS IN NEED OF REDEMPTION. WE WILL SPEND ETERNITY SOMEWHERE – EITHER IN HEAVEN OR HELL, WHICH ARE REAL ACCORDING TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE AND TOLD US ABOUT IT.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE WORLD’S ATTITUDE TOWARD CHRISTMAS AND THE CHRIST WHOSE NAME DEFINES IT. AND THE REPORTED COLDNESS YOUNGER PEOPLE FEEL TOWARD FAITH WAS PREDICTED LONG AGO. PAUL WROTE ABOUT IT IN HIS SECOND LETTER TO TIMOTHY:
“IN THE LAST DAYS THERE WILL COME TIMES OF STRESS. FOR MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF SELF, LOVERS OF MONEY, PROUD, ARROGANT, ABUSIVE, DISOBEDIENT TO THEIR PARENTS, UNGRATEFFUL, UNHOLY, INHUMAN, IMPLACABLE, SLANDERERS, PROFLIGATES, FIERCE, HATERS OF GOOD, TREACHERESS, RECKLESS, SWOLLEN WITH CONCEIT, LOVERS OF PLEASURE RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD; HOLDING THE FORM OF RELIGION, BUT DENYING ITS POWER.”
HE ALSO SAID PEOPLE WOULD BELIEVE WHATEVER THEIR ITCHING EARS WANT TO HEAR. FOR THE REST OF US, THOUGH, MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
I agree very much on your comments. I am 72 years old and have seen this nation change so much that I sometimes cannot believe what I see on the news. I enjoy reading your columns very much. I wish you a “Merry Christmas!”
