    Even though this song is sung at the birth of John the Baptist, the song is not about him.

Malachi, the last of the prophets had promised that the LORD would send a messenger before Him to prepare the way of the Lord’s coming. The “Old” Testament ends with the promise of ...read more

    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)?

Well, according to those in the know there is plenty to fear about Christmas. If you are selaphobic, ...read more
