    Mary has just received overwhelming news. To whom does she look? Elizabeth is the only one in the world that she knows of also dealing with a miraculous birth, so she quickly turns to her. How can we encourage others like Elizabeth encouraged Mary?

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

A good writer wants to remove his/her personality and have us to focus on the story. The Gospel according to ...read more

    One of the wonders of the Christmas story is that the Triune God gave the honor of being the mother to the Savior of the world to an unmarried teenage girl.

    The belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the "Mother of God," "Queen of Heaven," a perpetual virgin, and has an exalted place in Heaven, which provides her the closest access to Jesus and God the Father, is not taught anywhere in the Bible, which is the final and absolute ...read more
