Called By Christ To Be ONE: 'NAUGHTY OR NICE' RETAILERS ON USE OF 'CHRISTMAS'

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

(CNSNews.com) - A conservative pro-family group has compiled its annual “Naughty or Nice” list of retailers evaluated on whether they use the word “Christmas” in their advertising.

The American Family Association (AFA) evaluated five areas to decide whether a retailer is ‘Christmas-friendly” in its advertising: “print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website, social media (Facebook, Twitter), and/or personal visits to the store.”

“If a company has items associated with Christmas, but did not use the word ‘Christmas,’ then the company is considered as censoring ‘Christmas,’” the AFA said on its website.

On AFA’s “naughty” list are:

Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Family Dollar, Foot Locker, Gap, Inc., The Limited, Maurice's, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Office Max, Old Navy, Pet Smart, Staples, Stein Mart, Supervalu, UncommonGoods.com, Victoria's Secret, and Walgreens.

Some retailers on the naughty list are described as such:

“Company refers to Christmas infrequently, or in a single advertising medium, but not in others.”

Those retailers are Best Buy, Old Navy, UncommonGoods.com, and Walgreens.

For retailers Barnes & Noble, Foot Locker, Gap, The Limited, Maurice’s, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Office Max, Pet Smart, Staples, Steinmart, Supervalu, and Victoria’s Secret, the AFA states, “Company may use ‘Christmas’ sparingly in a single or unique product description, but as a company, does not recognize it.”

Family Dollar is the only retailer currently on the “naughty” list that was called out specifically for opening on Christmas Day.

“Family Dollar shamelessly opens their stores on Christmas morning, showing they think more of the dollar than the family,” the AFA states on its website.

Categorized as “marginal” are:

Academy Sports + Outdoors, Amazon.com, CVS Pharmacy, Dollar General, Kohl's, Safeway, Sears, and Starbucks.

Academy Sports + Outdoors, CVS Pharmacy, Dollar General, Kohl's, Safeway, Sears, and Starbucks are described as:

“Company refers to Christmas infrequently, or in a single advertising medium, but not in others.”

Amazon.com is characterized as marginal and described as such:

“Company may use ‘Christmas’ sparingly in a single or unique product description, but as a company, does not recognize it.”

And featured on the “nice” list are:

1-800-Flowers.com, Ace Hardware, AFA Online Store, Banana Republic, Bass Pro Shops, Bath & Body Works, Bed Bath & Beyond, Belk, Big Lots, Books-A-Million, Cabela's, Cracker Barrel, Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillards, Do-It-Best Hardware, Dollar Tree, Fred's, H.E.B. Stores, HSN.com, Hallmark, Harbor Freight, Harris Teeter Stores, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot, Hy-Vee Stores, JCPenney, JoAnn Fabrics, Kirkland's, Kmart, Kroger, L.L. Bean, Lowe's, Macy's, Marshalls, Meijer, Menard's, Michael's Stores, Neiman Marcus, Pier One Imports, ProFlowers.com, Publix, QVC.com, Rite Aid, Sam's Club, Scheels Sporting Goods, Super D Drug, TJ Maxx, Toys R Us, True Value, Wal-Mart, and Zappos.com.
