Today is a sad and grievous day
As news of Hallmark’s comprise with sin
Has been made known far and wide
It’s ironic that the definition of hallmark
includes
Attesting to purity
A distinguishing characteristic
Instead of being part of our culture
Helping us celebrate the holidays
With cards, gifts and ornaments
Hallmark will now be known as an emblem of
compromise
Conceding to the loud voices of political
correctness
Approving of sin which God has clearly condemned
How is it that a channel once known as family-friendly
Is now putting on display
Applauding and approving same-sex marriage
While our culture and standards are ever-changing
On a slippery slope that approves and promotes
sin
God’s Word and His perfect righteous standard will
never change
What God in the Bible has declared sin
Remains sin today
How can one embrace and promote that which God
will judge
As far back as I can remember
Hallmark has been a part of the Christmas
season
But how can I spend money on a company that
celebrates sin
Christmas is about Christ Jesus the Lord
A Savior was born, God incarnate
To redeem and save sinful man
It is particularly gross that at Christmastime
Hallmark embraces sin
Sin for which Christ died
Hallmark has bowed its knee
To the loud and vocal groups
That demand acceptance and approval of their
sin
Forgetting about families
Trying to raise their children
In truth and righteousness
Disregarding religious groups
Christians and Jews whose standards come from
the Bible
God’s Word, which is uncompromising and unchanging
Hallmark is on a slippery slope
Accepting and promoting sin
How long until it works its way into their movies
and cards
Why would I now spend money on a Hallmark
It’s not just the TV channel I will turn off
It’s ornaments I will not buy, no more Hallmark
cards to send
Though Hallmark has approved of sin
I must stand firm with God
Because at the end of the day
It’s about a human being created in God’s
image
One who needs to hear the truth about sin
And forgiveness to the repentant sinner
through Christ

I think Hallmark is shortsighted in giving way
and compromising with the politically correct groups that demand acceptance and
approval. Hallmark is not calculating
that they have offended conservatives who believe that marriage is between one
man and one woman and Christians and Jewish believers who believe the Bible is
God's inerrant Word.
It’s not just the Hallmark Channel or Hallmark
movies that will be impacted. I won’t be
buying Hallmark products, including cards and gifts. I hope that they will revisit this poor and
wrong decision that they’ve made. But if
not…Hallmark will no longer be a part of my life.
I did call Hallmark at 1-800-425-5627 and
spoke with a representative. I asked her
to relay that this will impact more than just the Hallmark Channel. She gave me the phone number for the Hallmark
Channel, 888-390-7474, which I will also call.
I will also follow up with an email to Hallmark (https://care.hallmark.com/s/contactsupport).
