The most outstanding preaching about salvation I have ever heard.

[Scott Roberts @ScottRoberts]

In "A Charlie Brown Christmas," Charlie Brown says…

"I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I'm not happy. I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel."

Later, Linus quotes Luke 2:8-14 from the King James Bible and it is so powerful and beautiful…

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men."

And then he drops this powerful truth…

"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."

When Linus starts telling Charlie Brown what Christmas is all about from Luke 2, he is holding his blanket. When he says the words "fear not" he tosses his blanket aside and finishes quoting Scripture. Linus shows that true security can be found in Christ.

The powerful and iconic scene was not liked by the network for being too religious. They wanted to remove it, but Charles Schulz held firm to his insistence that the scene remain because it was essential to what the true meaning of Christmas is all about.

I am thankful for Schulz's insistence. I couldn't even imagine not having this powerful scene.

Merry Christmas & Fear Not

Holiday shopping with my father in CO. He is 89 years old, survived Mao’s mass famine as an orphan. Today, he is a proud U.S. citizen and a Christian. We both feel so blessed in this, the greatest country on earth. God bless the USA!

@iRadhikaGupta What India needs is better systems and infrastructure (not everyone working longer hours!)

Mahalo everyone who has donated thus far. We’re more than 80% of the way to hitting our initial fundraising goal of $100,000. Let’s continue to spread Aloha so we can help those affected by the devastating wildfires in Maui. 🙏🏾
