Christmas

This is a bit late, but here goes anyway. This year Christmas fell on a Sunday. I thought it was really cool that we would get the chance to celebrate the Lord's birth on the Sabbath. I was beyond shocked to learn that many churches had decided to close their doors so people could spend time with their families. Like they can't all go to church together? And whatever happened to the 4th Commandment????? (For anyone wandering by who is not familiar with the 10 Commandments (which are, by the way, not suggestions) the 4th Commandment is "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." (Exodus 20:8) "Holy" means separated unto God. I wonder how those who made such a decision are going to try to explain to God on Judgement Day why they thought that decision was OK. Personally, I am grateful to attend a church who never even considered doing such a thing. And I agree wholeheartedly with a local pastor who declared that he would never close his doors on a Sunday.
