The dying message
Well Easter has been and gone once again, but like the message of Christmas it seems to be dying away into the forgotten archives of peoples minds. A survey was done last year by a media company in England about what Christmas meant to children and what the schools were teaching them, it turned out that eleven percent of children nationwide knew the meaning of celebrating Christmas and an even less percentage of schools taught them about our Lord Jesus Christ. I think that this is a sad state of affairs, that a child is being led to believe that Christmas is all about getting presents that they want, and at Easter it's about getting chocolate eggs. Instead they should be teaching the birth of our Lord and why he came into the world at Christmas, then get presents. And at Easter they should teach them of our Lord's sacrifice for us so that we might have everlasting life, then get chocolate eggs. Don't get me wrong, it's not just schools which are to blame for this but a even more so are we as parents and grandparents, should be by moral duty to our God to inform them.

Good post. It is sad that kids aren't being taught about Christ in any aspect nowadays. They are trying to take Christ out of everything. Im so glad we have the Bible and it still stands no matter who attacks it. I heard a preacher say " It's the anvil that wore out many hammers." Amen.
Amen to that sister!
