Kyle,

I agree that it isn't sad that churches don't have Christmas Eve services, but I think it is quite sad that they are cancelling services on Christmas. This is because Christmas is on a Sunday. There is a Biblical mandate for Sunday worship. There isn't such a madate for Christmas Day worship or Christmas Eve worship. By "worship" I am speaking of coporate worship, BTW.

These quotes by Spurgeon that Tom Ascol posted on his blog would be worth reading.

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
