Six Reflections from Amy Orr-Ewing
- Some people argue that Christmas has pagan origins. How do you respond to those claims as a theologian and apologist?
- How should Christian parents approach Santa Claus and the commercialization of Christmas?
Christmas belongs to the church. If we are dreary and frugal at the very season celebrating God’s incarnation, we send the wrong message. - For those who struggle to believe in the ‘crazy’ miraculous aspects of the Christmas story—the virgin birth, angels, and signs—how would you help them see the credibility and beauty of these events?
Scripture expects us to engage both heart and mind. It presents evidence, invites investigation, and yet leaves room for wonder. - What advice do you have for pastors or preachers who are preparing to preach and teach during this season?
The Christmas story should never feel small or sentimental. It should be shocking, confronting, and beautiful. It should evoke reverence and amazement. - You’ve mentioned that Christmas can be one of the most fruitful times for outreach. Why do you think this season opens such unique doors for evangelism?
- Encouragement for weary and overwhelmed church leaders and Christians during the Christmas season
