its violence, its punishment, its wars.

When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow,
We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago,
And etched on vacant places
Are half-forgotten faces
Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that
every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.

I was raised the old-fashioned way, with a stern set of moral principles: Never lie, cheat, steal or knowingly spread a
venereal disease. Never speed up to hit a pedestrian or, or course, stop to kick a pedestrian who has already been hit. From
which it followed, of course, that one would never ever -- on pain of deletion from dozens of Christmas card lists across the
country -- vote Republican.

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away;
While quite unselfish, it grows small.

What a terrible time this is to be a Christian. The churches have failed and betrayed us, and the ministry preaches hate and
murder. If there is a sane and reasoning voice in the Christian church today it is sadly silent.

Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.

In our work of challenging them, we need to keep several factors in mind. First of all, we must not lump all Christians in
with the RRR. The majority of main-line Christians are as appalled at their tactics as we are. Nor, as we have seen, dare we
stick all Evangelicals into one category either. And among the self-identified RRR themselves, there is not theological
agreement, so we need to avoid guilt-by-association.
Secondly, we need to be vigilant not to project our own shadow side onto them and demonize them, seeing them as the
enemy. We must avoid being condescending or patronizing. I see them as extremely fearful people, desperately searching for
security in a rapidly-changing world, who need our love and compassion, while we, at the same time, effectively interrupt
their tactics.

The church has failed to follow her appointed pathway of separation, holiness, heavenliness and testimony to an absent but
coming Christ; she has turned aside from that purpose to the work of civilizing the world, building magnificent temples, and
acquiring earthly power and wealth, and, in this way, has ceased to follow in the footsteps of Him who had not where to lay
His head.
