    In our society you can’t even utter the word "Christmas" in many circles. Why not just do away with it?

    Have you noticed that a lot of stores are now open on Christmas Day?

Herod wants to kill him, later the Jewish leaders will pick up where Herod left off and eventually succeed in having Jesus killed. Jesus has entered enemy territory as ...read more
