Radius is for X-mas!!!
Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 9:35PM 
Did you know that the word "X-Mas" originated from people replacing the English word Christ with the first letter of Christ as it is written in New Testament Greek, Χριστος. So you take the first letter of this Greek word for Christ, which is 'X' (the Greek letter Chi), and use it as an abbreviation. So X-Mas is really just an attempt to abbreviate the word Christmas, not a covert attempt to somehow take Christ out of Christmas. So here's the plan. We want to take Christ, as He really was in the 1st century when he was called Χριστος, and introduce him to Christmas in America in the 21st century. What would Jesus think and do if he were a member of Radius during the Christmas season? What plans and dreams would He have for us? Those are the questions we will seek to decipher as we go forward . . . and yes, we are doing this very early because we have some very special plans for Jesus' birthday this year and we have to get an early start . . . see you on November 1st!
