The Stars are for Signs

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so."
- Gen 1:14, 15 ASV

"He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them."
- Psalms 147:4 NASV

Popular Imagery

The Secularization of Christmas

I have heard many arguments that Christ should be put back in Christmas and so on. On one hand, I agree. If we are going to call it Christmas and consider it a Christian holiday, then perhaps they are right. But on the other hand, the only reason we have "Christmas" is because of a similarly timed ancient pagan holiday. We commandeered the holiday of a different religion and tried to make it into something of our own. Sure we have tried to put it to good use, but I don't think we can entirely blame non-Christians (and Christians) for secularizing an originally pagan holiday.
