    Bethlehem was a tiny insignificant town; it wasn't an industrial, educational, or financial place. Just one of 1,000s of little towns. But God chose to bring the greatest thing in the world out of it. God can do that with your life too!

He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from its tissue paper. “Here’s a donkey!” “Here’s a king!” 2. When he got to an infant molded into a manger, he proclaimed, “Here’s Baby ...read more

    Peter calls on the Christians in his day to have hope much like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his day. Peter says, “I command you to be hopeful though you are suffering greatly.”

    Sometimes our hope is invisible. The last words of dying people have always fascinated me. They are so revealing of a person's heart and soul. John Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Lincoln said only two words at his death: “Useless. Useless.” These are words of hopelessness. Fox News ...read more
