Secular Holidays: An Argument against Centering Christian Worship around Them - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

            Today is
Mother’s Day. As such, many churches (particularly American churches) will
honor mothers. While there is nothing wrong with honoring mothers, believers
should question the approach churches should take in doing so. Moreover,
Christians should consider whether to employ any secular holiday in the context
of worship. Certainly, one may celebrate a secular holiday and glorify God;
yet, placing its focus in Christian worship gatherings raises an entirely new
set of questions. My argument is that secular holidays are not rooted in
biblical Christianity and, therefore, have no place in weekly Christian
worship. I have three pillars to my argument, which support the overarching
notion that secular holidays should be removed from Christian worship.
