    This series approaches the Christmas Story by examining the lives of those present from a very historical perspective. This is week three focusing on the Magi.

    Facing a new year we can learn from how the Magi visited Jesus

    It is disheartening when someone you’ve respected in their chosen field ends up being nothing more than a lost soul. John Antrobus, a playwright and author, shared a Christmas he spent with Peter Sellers in a December 27 article. He got a call in 1977 inviting him to come over Christmas Day. During ...read more

    Attempts To Bury The Truth

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 21, 2010

    The history of our world has demonstrated that earthly kings tend to be very vulnerable people who sit upon uneasy thrones that are subject to topple in the most unexpected ways.

    Attempts to Bury the Truth Matthew 2:6- 18 NIV This past week in Canada we have seen our National Government decide to prorogue parliament. That's like the U.S. Senate closing shop for a 3 month unscheduled break. Many people are upset about this decision and see it as a blatant disregard to ...read more

    Of Superstars And Starlight Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 4, 2009
     | 3,531 views

    We have not yet learned the difference between superficial superstars and the starlight wisdom of Jesus. He transforms gold into Kingdom power, frankincense into respect, and myrrh into the preface for resurrection.

    In 1970 Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber brought out a rock opera with the provocative title, Jesus Christ Superstar. Predictably, not everyone was amused. Some condemned it as sacrilegious. But if you listened carefully and let your defenses down a notch or two, their work communicated the ...read more

    When ‘bumped’ or jolted or walloped, the content of who we are is laid bare.

    Introduction Every story has its bad ‘guy’ it seems. Whether its Cinderella’s evil stepmother, Snow White’s jealous queen or 101 Dalmatians ‘Cruella De Vil’, the evil one plays a part that amplifies the drama.

    What we do not know about the wise men will help us to understand their purpose - to worship the newborn king.

    Things we do not know about the “Wise Men.” 1. How many there were. a. The number three comes from the three gifts: Gold, frankincense, and myrrh. b.
