2023 Grinch Awards | GOD IS THE ISSUE PODCAST
THE 2023 GRINCH AWARDS
God is the Issue Podcast with Brad Bright
Today I am giving the Grinch Award
to a very deserving company.
I’m sure you all remember the story,
How the Grinch Stole Christmas? by Dr. Seuss?
The Grinch couldn’t stand Christmas.
so he decided he would steal it.
Do you realize there are real life Grinches?
People who hate Xmas.
Companies who hate Xmas.
They want to get rid of it.
They may not look like the Grinch,
but they think like him.
Think about the places where you shop.
Would you say that any of them “GRINCH” on XMAS?
Yes, I just used “Grinch” as a verb.
It’s powerful as a verb.
You can see it.
You can feel it.
You can touch it.
You can smell it.
You can taste it.
Before you jump to conclusions,
let me say that BOYCOTTING is not the answer.
However, you do need good information.
In light of that,
today, I am going to present the Grinch Award for 2023,
to the company who best personifies the spirit of the Grinch.
Here are some of the criteria I used in determining the winner:
Do they replace the word “Christmas”
with the word “Holiday?”
Do they forbid their employees from saying “Merry Christmas?”
Do their websites pitch “Holiday” this-and-that,
but rarely or never mention “Christmas?”
Do they hijack Christmas as a platform to promote causes
that offend the God of Xmas?
Every company has the right to honor,
ignore or demean Christmas as they see fit.
However, as a consumer,
you have the right to spend your money WHERE you see fit.
This year as you go Xmas shopping,
visit the websites of the stores that sell the products you want.
Walk into the store. Look around.
Do they embrace Christmas?
Do they Ghost Xmas?
Do they hijack Xmas?
Do they sexualize Xmas?
Then ask the GOD of XMAS what He wants you to do.
It’s between you and God.
Not you and your pastor.
Not you and your spouse.
Not you and your doctor.
Just You and GOD.
You can be a part of the solution.
Your money can be a tool to promote what’s Good.
WHERE you spend your money,
is just as important as HOW you spend your money.
Look for ALTERNATIVES.
But remember, don’t get angry
at the Grinches for being Grinches.
Their problem is not their behavior,
their problem is their hearts.
Their hearts are 3 SIZES TOO SMALL.
Only God can fix that.
You do your part and let God do His.
I pray that you may experience
the true meaning of Xmas this year.
as you remember God’s gift to you—
a newborn baby in a manger.
Remember: GOD is the issue—in every issue.
This is Brad Bright.
