Christmas sales now drive the American economy.  We need to recognize that we Christians no longer have a nativity theology, we have a “black Friday theology”—that crucial day when Christmas shopping cleans up the retail bottom lines and the red ink turns to black.  Unless Christ turns a profit for us, the American economy shows a net loss.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/susan_brooks_thistlethwaite/2007/12/attention_shoppers_christ_for.html"><P>Well, really, what’s the loss?  When Christmas day (December 25) inconveniently turned out to fall on a Sunday, Willow Creek, the mega-church on the north side of Chicago, canceled worship. Instead, they gave out a video and let people stay home and celebrate with their families.  I hesitate to speculate what, then, they would be celebrating except the triumph of cultural Christianity.  What kind of Christians cancel worship because it falls on Christmas day?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FCB6506D-B194-48A3-A6E7-DDC00F0D6B2A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
