The Meaning vs the Spirit of Christmas — Stand to Reason Podcast

About this sermon

Greg reflects on why it’s hard for him to get into “the spirit of Christmas,” then he answers questions about responding to someone who says he’s a good person and how to distinguish between the power of the tongue talked about in the Bible and the New Age “Law of Attraction,” chats with Tim about a Christmas-related challenge, and closes with some more thoughts on Christmas. 0:00 Introduction 1:20 The meaning of Christmas vs. the spirit of Christmas 19:22 Responding to a friend who says he has become a good person on his own 29:40 Why is the "Law of Attraction" unbiblical? 38:09 Mr B. from Red Pen Logic asks, should Christians celebrate Christmas if it has pagan origins? 50:53 A Christmas reading from "The Story of Reality" #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #MerryChristmas #Christmas #JesusChrist #JesusitheReasonfortheSeason ————— MENTIONED ON THIS SHOW ————— The Man Who Invented Christmas – Film: https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/themanwhoinventedchristmas/ @RedPenLogic TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@original_mrb ————— CALL IN TO THE SHOW ————— Have a question or comment?
