    At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

    There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more

    The doctrine of justification is such an important doctrine that a breech of it by Peter caused him to be rebuked by Paul. If the apostles can get it wrong so can we, therefore we need to understand what is at stake.
