The church gets excited by the same things that excite the world. When we yield ourselves to religious fantasies, for instance, placing Christmas trees in our homes or sanctuaries, it is no great leap to embrace false doctrine. "Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. For this cause, GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)
