This may not seem news worthy, but then, this publication is not about providing the latest exciting news and comment. We look for those things that also impact the spiritual life. And here is one that definitely does. Any holiday directed towards a certain group or a person has a tendency to breed selfishness. They Jehovah Witness may not have it all wrong regarding holidays, though they ought not be entirely dismissed as they do for that creates a whole set of other witnessing issues. But the fact is, according to this article in general, an expected day to be pampered, given attention to, of which Christ never sought. Birthdays are inclusive where, especially children, is all about "give me, give me, give me. It's my day!" Last we checked, all days belong to God and we own none. The Christian walk is about the action to "deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" (Matthew 16:24). There is no holiday off for that constant relationship with Christ. "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily" (1 Corinthians 15:31).
