A few details of this beautiful parable that we may miss or take for granted because we think the story is so familiar.

Music has been defined as a beauty of form. It is a powerful, melodious force that can deeply impact emotional, cognitive, and social well-being.

Hannah Harrington, a female American author once remarked: “He took his pain and turned it into something beautiful. Into something that people connect to. And that's what good music does. It speaks to you. It changes you.” Colossians 3:16 reminds us: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you ...read more

Christmas Significa Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021

The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more
