Jesus Is God

Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 6, 2008

The Christmas story is about Jesus. Now, I doubt that there is anyone here who really needed to be told that, but we all have to admit that it’s pretty difficult to keep the focus there. Actually, I think there is a fine line between what’s pleasing and not pleasing in the way we celebrate. ...read more
