CHRISTMAS, PAGANISM & THE NEW YEAR Chris discusses a series of comments from listeners on the celebration of Christmas and the influences of Paganism in our country today. Does the Bible forbid Christmas trees in the book of Jeremiah? Or does the tradition begin with Martin Luther? Also, what other traditions have been inherited from the Pagan world that we take for granted in our daily lives? With the New Year on the horizon, the history behind its annual celebration presents us with even further challenges and questions. But what counsel does the Bible give to us as we exercise our senses to discern the right thing to do?
