A look at the different ways that the name of Jesus is Wonderful.

For most people the only contact they have with the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah is Christmas time. And they probably don’t realize it then. It’s on Christmas cards and in Christmas Carols.

based on 16 ratings

| 7,943 views

What would happen if we took all of the Religious elements out of Christmas?

Have you noticed that every year people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” then have presentations at school that make no mention of the Manger or the Wise Men let alone the Christ Child. Now I may be a little overly sensitive but ...read more

God's Hope In Troubled Times

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 12, 2006

based on 4 ratings

| 5,133 views

Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more
