All Saints with Holy Trinity in Loughborough really pulled out all the stops this year with their inclusive and oh-so-woke revision of the classic Christmas carol “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”. Instead of mentioning Jesus as the savior of sinners, the updated lyrics now reference “queer and questioning” individuals and “women, who by men have been erasing”.

Because nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like completely removing the central themes of the holiday and replacing them with modern political buzzwords. Obviously, this move is an attempt to promote leftist political ideology. And as if the updated lyrics weren’t enough, a parishioner and Church of England ordinand thought it was a good idea to tweet a picture of the order of service for the Mayor’s Community Carol Service with the revised lyrics.

Well, I guess she didn’t think it was that great of an idea after all the pushback since her Twitter account is now in hiding. But don’t worry, we grabbed the screenshots below.

The song “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” is a classic, but a church has revised it to include lyrics acknowledging the experiences and struggles of women and queers. The revised lyrics include lines such as “God rest you also, women, who by men have been erased” and “God rest you, queer and questioning, your anxious hearts be still.”

The revised lyrics of the song “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” are certainly not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible, which clearly states in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Those who continue in sin are not in line with God’s will and are instead rebelling against it. It is crucial that unrepentant sinners turn away from their sin and instead believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to receive eternal life.

Speaking the Truth in Lust

It’s the darling phrase of modern Evangelicalism—trotted out with breathless solemnity every time someone dares to speak a hard truth too plainly: “We must speak the truth in love.” Four little words. A verse fragment. A harmless butterfly of a phrase that, somewhere...

Surrogacy is The Childless Gospel of the Left
