IT DOESN'T ADD UP
The most important thing that the church does is worship. This isn't to say that other things are unimportant but that the center-point of all of our ministries is the ministry of worship that we bring to God. Christmas is one of the most important worship days in the life of the church. However, some popular churches are not only skipping Christmas worship but they are also canceling worship services on the two Sundays following Christmas. The reason? "People are too busy and they need to slow down to enjoy family and friends."

You can't skip celebrating the incarnation -- even for good causes like family and friends -- and still expect to maintain anything that looks like biblical Christianity. The root of the problem is a theological imbalance compunded by a tendency to see worship as a "production" or "experience" executed for the benefit of the church.
