James 1689
Puritan Board Freshman
Hello everyone. I wanted to ask a question concerning the Christmas celebration. I hope this is the right forum for it deals with worship in general. This past Lord's day at the evening service I was teaching through the confession (1689) chapter 22 concerning the regulative principle of worship in the church service. We were discussing Christmas celebrations and how we as a church do not hold to having cantatas or specials. When I was asked by a member if it is biblical or a faithful holding to the regulative principle of worship to celebrate Christmas as a family in general. They gave a good discussion on why one should not. Not just getting rid of Santa, but the whole celebration of trees, gifts, and etc... I would be grateful for some insight for it was a good question and discussion. Thank you for your time and response.
