DANIEL 4 - THE CONVERSION OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR The book of Daniel, in its early chapters, tells us as much about Nebuchadnezzar as it does about Daniel. Nebuchadnezzar was a man given to dreams. He had a whole range of wise men on his payroll in the different disciplines of magicians, enchanters, ...read more

Poor Naomi And Ruth

The Gifts We Bring Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 10, 2023

The gifts we give on Christmas are often given in gaily wrapped paper. The paper conceals what is hidden inside the present. Similarly, the gifts of the wisemen were like wrapping paper concealing special gifts of great value. Do you know what they were?

Humorist Dave Barry wrote about the gifts that were brought by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you examined that story carefully, you’d find that there is an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Why? First, these guys were wise. And second… they were ...read more
