The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ: A Refresher Course In Evidence

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 10, 2023

I have pointed out in a recent ...read more

Christmas Secrets Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

The secret of the star is based on the fact that the more precious the gift the greater the secrecy connected with it. A precious gift is meant to be a surprise and so it is kept secret.
