TX Megachurch Launches Campaign to Publicly Shame Stores Not Celebrating Christmas

Pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress is warning all retailers in the Dallas metro area that his congregation TX Megachurch Launches Campaign to Publicly Shame Stores Not Celebrating Christmasis on the lookout for “naughty” businesses who don’t show outward signs of supporting Christmas — and supporting those “nice” businesses that do.

Jeffress’ 13,000-member First Baptist Church launched its “Grinch Alert” campaign Thursday, a web-based declaration of war on those who have declared war on Christmas. The pastor says his megachurch was motivated to create www.GrinchAlert.com after a number of businesses had removed Christmas trees and replaced traditional Christmas greetings with generic “holiday” language.

Gawker reports:

It all started when a local Christian radio station heard about a Southlake, TX bank that had “fallen into the trap of political correctness” and elected not to display a Christmas tree this year. They took this as a personal affront. (Martyrdom complex?) They did a broadcast shaming that bank, which relented and put a tree in its lobby.

Heartened by this success, First Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress launched GrinchAlert.com, a catch-all message board for publicly shaming those who fail to “show outward signs of supporting Christmas.”…

“I wanted to do something positive to encourage businesses to acknowledge Christmas and not bow to the strident voices of a minority who object to the holiday,” Jeffress told KCBI-FM, one of the largest Christian radio stations in the country. The church is enlisting the help of the whole community in adding names of stores to the online “naughty” and “nice” lists, which the radio station pledged to read on the air each morning at 7:40 a.m. CST.

Update: Fox News reports this naughty vs. nice pressure on retailers is not limited to Texas, but seems to be a growing movement across the country:

    Kudos to Dr. Jefffress … and great follow-up commentary. The radical leftists/Communists that have hijacked this once-great nation of ours may succeed in banishing God from the public eye – but CANNOT and WILL NOT EVER banish Him from our hearts … and it’s about time people are finally standing up to these anti-Christian bullies!!!

    I agree with you! All who call Jesus Christ Lord should all band together and promote the thing’s that bring glory to him. His ENEMY is working overtime to make sure his name is taken out of the picture…. Which bring’s me to another point The muslims and the other religions celebrate their holiday with NO backlash, why all of the sudden is Christ under attack, from every angle of the board. Time is a ticking, tick tock tick tock, the hour is late. We need to spread Jesus’s name to every high and low place!

    AND say Merry Christmas!

      How is this an insult to Christians? “Happy Holidays” doesn’t exclude Christmas – it just includes other holidays. I really don’t understand why all the Christians are getting so offended. It feels hypocritical of you. The CEO of Starbucks is Jewish, but he doesn‘t have all his employee’s just say “Happy Hanukkah” – he has everybody say “Happy Holidays” – which includes Christmas. Would you boycott Starbucks if they only said Happy Hanukkah?

      But isn’t this the beauty of America? You have a right to boycott, the stores have a right to offend you. I‘m not saying these people can’t do it. I‘m just saying I don’t understand.

    Time for the vast majority to be “OFFENDED” by a few bitter democrats trying to take the joy of public Christmas celebration away from our bright eyed children.

    When these mental reprobates demand that crosses be taken off grave sites, then you know their insanity can literally destroy this nation if it is not fought at every point—Common sense, God-fearing, patriotic Americans must be aggressive in their opposition; and the religious mice who side with the politically correct darkness must be called out, and exposed for what they are,.

      Thanks for your comments. I agree with you and believe that is why this socialist administration has gotten a foothold in our nation. We Christians have been the Silent Majority in our Christian nation for far too long. We should have all stood up and screamed when “prayer” was taken out of our schools. When I was in high school, our choral director always said a prayer before each of our performances. Did it hurt anyone? No, if someone did not want to participate they simply didn’t. However, all did and we were the better for it. We saw a Godly Christian teacher, he was such a good man. I feel sorry for our children now…. We now have a president that is neither Christian, though he claims to be his actions prove differently, nor a very good American. Doesn’t love this nation, only what he can fundamentally transform it into. States, “We are no longer a Christian nation!” Well, America we need to prove this narcissistic, arrogant, excuse of a president that , “America will ALWAYS be a Christian nation, for we are one nation UNDER GOD! Merry Christmas with all my love.

    My thanks to Pastor Jeffress and his congregation. While watching TV ads I too decided I would not spend my money at any store that does not celebrate Christmas and I am always first to wish others a Merry Christmas. I do like The Grinch’s idea of coming back with “what holiday are you celebrating?“ when wished a ”Happy Holiday”. I think I’ll try it out today and see what happens. May God Bless.

I believe a large majority of Americans are also doing the same now. It’s about time Christians have finally stood up. Now we need to take our role to the next step and get back to what the Church was supposed to do,,, instead of the government doing it for us.

      Why not consider finding those books that provide excellent interpretations and anylsis of the Bible? Skousen’s books come to mind such as The 5000 Year Leap as GB so often praises which may not be the Bible yet allows a great interpretation on so many parts of it. You will also get a rich history on the founding of this great nation. The Majesty of God’s Law is another great one. Many other writings along with audio tapes that are also available on this site: http://www.skousen2000.com/political%20products/majesty.htm
      The prices are reasonable, however, some searching such as Amazon may have used copies at even better prices.

I would recommend you seek out another man, who is a strong believer, to help you understand what it is all about, someone with the heart of a teacher. Without context, the Bible is difficult to understand. If you went into any local fundamentalist Christian church on Sunday, you will definitely find such a person because helping others find Christ is the highest calling of all Christians. I know I would be thrilled to find someone like you who is seeking the truth. Oh, and just get on your knees and ask God to help you. If you trust in Him, He always answers your prayers.

      I definitely believe it is time for our Christian nation to stand up and be counted, and what a more fitting time then the Birth of Our Lord….. I always enjoyed shopping in well-decorated stores at Christmas. Maison Blanche in New Orleans had a marionette show in their window each year, when I was a child. It was so wonderful. Modern stores could learn a lot from this store that we lost to Katrina…. Maison Blanche (White House) really knew how to spread the Christmas Spirit especially to us kids. We did not have a lot of money then, not even a tv, so we loved visiting this store each year. I will always hold this as a sweet memory of my childhood Christmas. If any PR guys from the stores are reading this, I hope you learn something……. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS.

Use a good commentary, or several for that matter. The Holy Spirit will come to you, you do not need to force yourself. Just keep an open mind.

This world is fat and ripe the people are too full of their own ways, we choose evil over good, we choose greed over compassion, we choose vengeance over turning the other cheek, we have been turned over to our own ways and our ways are not good.

      8 ¶ Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

      9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

      10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

      Maybe GB should start posting a map of the USA and when you click on your state a list of Christian minded shops comes up, and a list of non-Christian minded shops come up…so we know where to shop and where not to. I’ll defend those that have other beliefs, but I won’t tolerate those who impede me from celebrating my beliefs…or the spineless cowards who won’t stand up to them.

      13th generation American, stores are NOT being forced to do anything. If they don’t mind losing business, they don’t have to acknowledge Christmas. It is a matter of choice. They have no RIGHT to be a successful business. They have to get and keep business. They can cater to any group of citizens they want to and offend any group they don’t care about. And your closing sentence was juvenile and inappropriate, but then I was not FORCED to read it.

      Not being a religious person myself, but brought up in a christian household, I find it disgusting for any of this political correctness to change the meaning of Christmas. These people or organizations to submit to the minority of people who say they are offended by the mere words of “Merry Christmas” or manger scenes are just plain ludicrous. I have no issues with anyone wishing to express their religious views at any of their religious holidays. I also back those who bring it to the attention of their members the businesses who are not favorable to their religious beliefs, etc. Everyone knows this country was founded on a very strong Christian beliefs and this is a basis for our moral compass. With all this being eroded beginning in the public school system, is the progressives attempt to change history to their liking. Political correctness is the cancer of our society and has been for a number of years. To change the way we do things for a few over the majority is just stupid. I personally think it is a time to tell those who wish to practice political correctness to sit down and get over yourself. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

      Then again, this is the church fronted by Pastor Robert Jeffress, the author of Hell? Yes! who said Mormon Mitt Romney was a member of a “cult” and who, in September, said that “Christians are uniquely favored by God, [while] Mormons, Hindus and Muslims worship a false god.”

      Hey Glenn you might want to tell your crack staff of writers that this scam artist hates your faith also.

      @ 13
      the private businesses have a right to do whatever they want, just like we consumers have a right to give our business to whom ever we want, if we choose to give our buisness to those who are like minded that is our right. Businesses who want teens business market to teens, businesses who want men’s business market to men, businesses who want Christians business should market to Christians.. if they find Christian business not such a big deal then they have right to NOT market to Christians, simple as that. If the naughty and nice lists are inaccurate then those businesses even have a right to sue.. gee I am not in business or law and even silly little conservative Christian like me can figure that one out,

      The churches have the right to protest businesses just as the businesses have the same freedoms to say merry christmas or happy holidays; the people who patronize these places will decide on their own with feet and wallets how they wish to side.

      Inapproriate to force Christianity upon others.

      I’ll be celebrating Jesus Christ birthday on December 25 with a birthday cake and simple gifts for the family. The holy spirit is in all of us that receive it. I find the retail hype of Christmas out of character with the birth of Christ. Why should we gauge the economy by how much money is wasted for Christmas? Are you giving gifts for the purpose of receiving gifts? Then express anger to those who fail to give what you wanted? That’s selfish. Giving people what they don’t need is ignorant. Wasteful spending, another secular

      Focus on the spirit of Christmas. I applaud retailers who don’t exploit Christmas with giant secular and pagan displays. Christmas has turned into a huge commercial event. Instead of complaining about stores they should be encouraging people to stay at home with their families and go to their churches on days other than Sunday not advising where to shop and enabling the status quo of gift giving and materialism .

      Merry Christmas everyone. I think what you all need to understand is the origin of the Christmas Holiday. I am a Christian. Read Deuteronomy 12:30-31 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. Now, look up the origin of Christmas. Did you know Christmas was banned in the US as a pagan Holiday. The truth is Christ was never in Christmas. What holy days did He celebrate? Remember Christian means Christ like. Question with boldness. Do not accept things just because you were taught a certain way. Learn the truth then judge for yourself. Believe it or not it all goes back to the tower of Babel and Nimrod. If you hate to hear this, just wait till you learn the true origins of Easter. Be honest, what do the Christmas traditions, other than the Nativity, have to do with Christ? When was Christmas incorporated into Christianity? When did the Roman census and tax collection take place? What pagan holiday was centered around the winter soltace? Question with boldness. Do you really want to defend something that God views as an abomination? All the information is available, if you will take the time to look.
