Christmas Animals

Christmas Animals: The angels, the shepherds, and the wise men, along with Mary and Joseph, dominate the scene around the Christ-child, who gave the world the gift of Christmas. But animals also play a role in the greatest story ever told. Being dumb, they could not sing of it or talk of it, and the result is their silence leaves them the most neglected creatures connected with the Incarnation. We usually look at the astronomical witness of the star, or the angelic witness of the heavenly host, but we seldom to never notice the animal witness to the advent of Christ

Greg Laurie Daily Devotions - Greg Laurie Daily Devotion - May 22, 2008 - Christian Devotional: "“Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.” (Luke 1:26–27)

It is difficult for us to understand, 2,000 years later, the significance of the angel Gabriel’s appearance to Mary in Nazareth."

The Extraordinary Birth of Jesus

The Extraordinary Birth of Jesus: "Extraordinary births are certainly not unprecedented in biblical history. As part of the Abrahamic Covenant, God promised to send a son to Abraham and Sarah (Gen. 17:19–22). They were both beyond normal childbearing ages and laughed at the prospect of being parents, yet they ultimately witnessed the miraculous arrival of their son, Isaac (Gen. 21:1–3). In Judges 13, an angel of the Lord told Manoah and his barren wife that they would have a special son. True to the heavenly messenger’s words, Samson entered the world and for a time delivered the Israelites from the oppression of the Philistines."

Is Something Wrong in Elk River? | runlevel five(pointer)

Is Something Wrong in Elk River? | runlevel five(pointer): "The Crossing is a seeker-sensitive church in Elk River, Minnesota. It’s leader, Eric Dykstra is a dynamic speaker. He has a vision. He has a following that is committed to fulfilling it. Unfortunately, and by many accounts, it is his personal vision, and not the one of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is accused of being autocratic and manipulative, allegedly firing and replacing his board of elders."

Why should we study the Old Testament?

Why should we study the Old Testament?: "The Bible is a progressive revelation. If you skip the first half of any good book and try to finish it; you will have a hard time understanding the characters, the plot, and the ending. In the same way, the New Testament is only completely understood when it is seen as being built upon the foundation of the events, characters, laws, sacrificial system, covenants, and promises of the Old Testament."

How to evengelize

How to evengelize: "There are 2 main reasons why all Christians need to embrace evangelism. The first is Jesus told his disciples, which we all are if we are followers of Jesus, to go out and and make disciples of everyone else. The second reason is we don't want anyone to spend eternity in hell because they didn't understand why they need Jesus, and what they need to do to avoid going to hell."
