The only time some people hear the gospel?

One of the objections to dismissing Christmas is the idea that people can actually come to Christ during this season of focus on his birth, and that evangelism is buoyed through the season of good will and cheer.

  • Christmas is the only time some people will hear the gospel. Really? I have two problems with that. Firstly, will these people never have a Christian co-worker, aunt, or next door neighbour who will share the gospel with them? Christmas is their only chance, (assuming that they go to church at Christmas)? Secondly, if Christmas was such a vital evangelical tool, why didn’t God think to institute it Himself? How is it that the apostles didn’t think of it? Fancy leaving it to the pagans and the Roman Catholics to come up with the idea.  Source link
