    What if there were a Wardrobe that could usher us into an Unseen World? What would we see and experience. The Bible is very clear that an Unseen World does exist.

    The Wardrobe: “Discover The Wonder” I must admit that there are times when I am convinced that we have made Christianity far more complicated than what it was ever intended to be. Luke the physician recorded many of Jesus’ profound statements, but none is more profound than the one found in Luke ...read more

    What is the significance with regards to the place, Bethlehem and the manger, where Jesus was born. Can we find any significance in it. Does it have any meaning for us today. After all, God did choose where Jesus should be born. The question is why there?
