Gluttony?
Most people today are overweight, fast-food has changed the world and so has cheap food in the super markets where most of the poor head for?
But we are going to talk about greed in relation to gluttony and food, and here we will deal with the rich and their plenty!
Greed is an illness in its own right of the mind and eventually of the stomach the results of being fat, but this is not always the case?
Diabetes and several other illness that lead to loss of functions result from eating too much of the wrong foods!
Greece is one of the biggest killers, all those fries and burgers, fried chicken and lack of walking with jacket potatoes, waffles, cakes, chocolate bars and so it goes on!
Christians are not exempt from the lure and temptations of nice food!
Self control is the answer to most of the problems that lead us astray at Christmas?
Genesis 29:22, Psalm 36:8, Ecclesiastes 10:16, Jeremiah 51:39, Matthew/Levi 22:2, 4, 8, Mark 7:22, 1 Corinthians 9:25, Galatians 5:23, 1 Peter 1:6.

Aspects of Christmas! One.
Loneliness?
This is perhaps the greatest downside of the Christmas holidays, loneliness! The festival only lasts a few days, but regret may lead to self-harm or suicide?
We may start well in life, doing our own thing but age brings its own problems? Friends and family pass-away and we may find ourselves alone not wanting to face truths and pains from mistakes in the past?
Christmas is full of fun, decorations, music, lights and kids who can have really enjoy it!
Believers need to look out for those older folks, a hot drink, meal, card and chat helps, feeling wanted also helps it really can go a long way!
God so loved this world He made that is why He gave us Jesus His one and only Son, for whoever believes in Him will have Eternal Life?
Luke 2:7, 12, 16, John 3:3, 15-18, Romans 3:23, 5:16-18, 6:23, 1 Peter 4:10.

Conduct?
People always Watching!
We can forget when we are believers that the world is watching us, sometimes they do want to catch us out, but other times they envy secretly in their hearts the freedom that we have!
It is something that is hard to fathom and it is perhaps better to leave that with God!
But meanwhile our conduct does matter, we can be silly and humorous but it must be clean, our attitude should be different from that of the world?
We should always be honest and do what is good and right and not be involved in past interests or idea of cheating others, but rather be looking out for them! They may not do that for us, but that does not matter, God will in His time deal with them as He too will with us!
Proverbs 14:2, Ezekiel 23:49, Romans 13:3, 1 Thessalonians 2:10, James 3:13, 1 Peter 3:1, 16, 2 Perter 2:7.

Terrorism and Wickedness. Two.
'Our free Choice?
God has never been unfair to His creation as some people think He has?
He has given all of humanity free will and choice for us to work out our own course of life!
All humanity is born into inherited sin, this is our incurable terminal-illness that we on our own cannot fathom to cure or heal!
But God has given to us His one and only Son Jesus, by placing our faith in Him we will enter into the promised New Life!
People are shaped by circumstances to what they become, a hard life can either lead to evil or a born-again active Christian? A good life can lead to being drawn into a false sense of security and many are lead into terrorist idealism?
1 Samuel 9:2, Psalm 119:101, Isaiah 58:6, Luke 14:7, Romans 9:16.

Terrorism and Wickedness. One.
Historical!
This is the time of the year when Europeans and all nations linked to them around the world mark Halloween, when God overthrew the power of Satan!
The holiday and festival has much to do with children today, but some aspects of it still remain the reserve of Pagans and Witchcraft?
November the 5th is Guy Fawkes night, marking the burning on the strake of a very British terrorist!
Most nations and cultures will have their historic moments of victory over evil, wither Spiritual or criminal?
But these evils come from choices made by individuals!
Job 34:4, Psalm 25:12, 73:9, 125:5, Philippians 1:10, Hebrews 10:26.

Political Deception?
Excuses, false claims and lies!
We can do all these things and claim to have a faith in God, but at the end of the day we are only fooling ourselves! People will see through us, as fakes and they will not trust in God when they see that Christians are crooks!
Many politicians play this game and make claims to their faith, but they are not real believers and nothing more than charlatans!
The Holy Bible warns us than in the last days that there will be many false prophets and people will live for themselves, wanting what they want and deceiving to be deceived! Blinded by hypocrisy, by greed, racism and sectarians religious madness, while living in sin and covering it up with more and more evil!
Numbers 16:14, Psalm 12:2, Proverbs 16:29, Matthew 24:24, Galatians 6:7, Ephesians 5:6, 1 Timothy 4:1-5.

'Our Heart? Two.
Where are We?
We know that God tells us that our hearts are deceptive, we may like to think that we are alright? Because we are living in the right way in our own eyes, people like us, respect us, because we are being honest and truthful?
But this is not enough with God, we have to believe that Jesus died for our failures and rose again on the third day from the grave! It is through our confession and repentance that we make that mental change of our attitudes of hostility towards Him, that tell and ask for His forgiveness of past failures then we are born again?
We have a choice to make and being Born-Again does not mean an excuse to pretend to be saved and live as the world, but to be filled with the Holy Spirit and live in the power of God daily in this hostile world?
Genesis 50:21, Deuteronomy 28:67, Psalm 28:3, 73:7, John 2:25, 3:3. 15-18, Romans 3:22-23.
