    Christmas is a glorious time when experiencing the blessings of God and all is well, but, what about those who are suffering the loss of a loved one or a broken relationship or a prolonged illness. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow explores this in his poem.

    Joseph's Dreams

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more
