Interesting Thought for Preachers On Christmas

At my Presbytery exams a couple of weeks ago in Los Angeles I got a lot of pastoral advice.

My favorite piece of advice for today came from Pastor Don Piper from Seattle RPCNA. Pastor Piper said that when he was a young minister he would preach on the resurrection on Christmas day and then preach on Christ's birth on Easter.

Fun.

He advised against it for me.

The venerable parson is so right in advising against it: I once got myself in a sea of trouble for finishing a series of expository sermons on the Messianic prophecies of Isaiah by preaching on Isaiah 53 on the Sunday after Christmas...

Wow...getting in trouble for preaching God's Word...just because it goes against human man made customs and traditions...sounds like something before the 16th century...
