I know that this is a weird and quite unusual statement, especially from a self-professed Christian. However, we always hear the statement, that Jesus is the reason for the season, and although I’m mostly in aggreance with that statement, I’d like to take that particular philosophy to task for a moment.

Read more "Jesus Isn’t the Reason for the Season"My cousin gave me True to Our Native Land, an African American New Testament Commentary as a Christmas present and I flipped through it and I saw names like Cleophus J.
