The Debarkation Of Jonah

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Nov 15, 2005

Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign

The irony that those who should have recognized the signs of Christ’s arrival were completely oblivious while "foreigners" recognized them.

The truth is we don’t know exactly how many there were. But we tend to say three because there were three gifts that ...read more
