What do we tell our children about Santa Claus? Our special guest is Justin Peters, an expository teacher, author, minister, and husband to wife, Kathy. Justin’s book and video, “Santa Pause” reveals a dark and even demonic history through the ages of this carnal Christian character, and in our present time he is celebrated as a kindly and omnipresent/omniscient old man who generously gives gifts – if you are morally good, that is. Justin shares his thoughts on the effects of lying to our children, and where Christian liberty may or may not play a part in our Christmas traditions.

Thank you, bless you and Walk Worthy!
So thankful for Justin Peters testing of the Santa lie. Michelle im so sadden by your take on liberty about santa. Switch the letters around satan appears. I love Justins comeback based on the Holiness of God which many so called Christians dont even like to consider God Holiness or the need for obedience. In every nuance as Michelle called it. They are anti Christ in every situation. Does the bunny bring eggs to her house on Easter? Yes, we love each other but Gods word also tells us to exhort one another I think Acts 2:40 says it all. Michelle often exhorts Christians on so many topics. Praying God is revealing to her the lie and sin of santa.
Hi Lori- Thank you so much for listening to A Word Fitly Spoken. I think you’ll find next week’s episode on Christian liberty to be helpful. Blessings to you.
