The Christmas season is filled with music. While visiting a shopping mall in mid-November, stores were already playing Christmas music. Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we expect to hear more and more 'songs of the season.' In fact, radio stations devote 24 hours a day to Christmas music.
During November, we made ballots available for our church to vote for their favorite Christmas carols. The votes were tabulated and this past Sunday, we began to count down the Top Ten Christmas Carols at Ryanwood Fellowship. A very important truth was mentioned during that service. As we began to sing some of our favorite carols, our pastor reminded us of the tremendous theological truths that can be found in them.
When we hear Christmas music this season, listening to Winter Wonderland and Frosty can be fun and bring out the 'festive' in the season. But as we hear The First Noel and Joy To The World, let's allow that to bring out the 'worship' in the season. Perhaps it will allow us the opportunity to share with a friend or family member the real reason we can celebrate.
