Here is The Greatest Christmas Wish

Clarence Edward Noble Macartney was born in 1879 and died at age 78 in 1957. He is most remembered for ministering 27 years at First Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Unlike most American preachers today, Rev. Macartney's preaching attracted mostly men “not only to his Sunday services but also to his popular Tuesday noon luncheons.”

In 1943, Abingdom Press published Great Nights of the Bible, a collection of sermons by Rev. Macartney. In that collection is the sermon “The Night of Nights” in which the great preacher explained why the night Jesus, the Man of Peace, was born must remain the greatest night in history.

In the sermon, Rev. Macartney relates an incident that took place the first Christmas after the start of World War I. He said “the colossal armies” of Germany, France, and Great Britain “had fought themselves to a standstill, and now millions of their soldiers were glaring at one another out of the trenches that gashed the earth from the North Sea clear to the Alps.”

Why Didn't They Use Video Conferencing for the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference?

The credibility of the climate-change gods is on the line once again. Changing their verbiage from global warming to climate change cannot conceal whatever they are hiding. Following on the heels of email gate, which reveals that warm-earth activist scientists silenced certain voices that differed from theirs, it may not be an exaggeration to brand this Copenhagen Climate Change Conference as the Who's Who of Global Warming Hypocrites.

It seems like hypocrisy (a mismatch of belief and behavior) continues to be a hallmark of leading global warming activists, and this Mother of the Global Warming Congregation is the biggest "Do as we say, not as we do" sermon yet.

To their credit the organizers did pick the right venue. Denmark leads the world in energy-generating wind mills, powering 19% of its electricity from wind turbines. So the Danish deserve to be the poster country for clean, green energy.

Besides choosing the right host, the climate gods should have taken two other actions if they wanted the world to take them more seriously.
