Do we really mean it when we say, each week, that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary? Do we really believe that Jesus was born to a virgin? That Mary conceived Jesus supernaturally? Or doesn’t it really matter? This is one of those areas of doctrine that most people outside the church are likely ...read more

The Man Behind The Manger

Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007

Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more
