A message of hope and a view of life through the eyes of a Christian American black.

For the past 16 years I have been a husband, and for 9 years, a father. These roles are second in importance only to my role of follower of Jesus Christ. My day job is in scientific research where I study the chemical senses (smell and taste). While I enjoy my job, I am in the process of making a career change: following my boyhood dream of writing. As an American, I am concerned about the direction my country has chosen on some issues. Politically I fall right of center (conservative), but I am not a right winger. I believe the most important character trait for any person is personal integrity.

Have Christians Already Lost The War On Christmas?

This year a number of stores have heard the public outcry, and reversed policies which once prohibited their employees from saying 'Merry Christmas.' With these changes those who fight for Christmas can claim victory. But as I look at our country I wonder if Christians have already lost this particular war.

Christians should have an impact on society. In fact it is this very impact that certain groups want to prevent by removing Christmas from the national lexicon. But are we having the influence our Lord wants us to have?

Ultimately the body of Christ should measure victory in terms of lives changed for the better. All the nativity scenes in the country are meaningless if we are not having a positive influence on those around us. The meaning of Christmas is lost if we are not actively and deliberately sharing and living the Gospel.
