The animosity for Jesus in His earthly ministry started early, it seems.  King Herod, upon his contact with the Wise Men was apoplectic about someone who laid claim to the title of King of the Jews.  We find his response in Matthew chapter 2 in a passage containing our theme Scripture for today, Day 19 in our Faith Radio Christmas Advent-ure, "The Story For the Ages."  The chapter says:3 When Hero...  Read More

In the Scriptures, we find that the Christmas narrative is full of people who stood alone - Jesus, the Son of God, became a solitary man, sent to the world in order to redeem fallen humanity.  Mary was chosen by God to bear the Christ Child.  Joseph followed God's direction and married Mary, even though he had inclinations to refuse to do so.  We've talked about some of these people during this Ad...  Read More

The Bible teaches us, I believe, and as our Faith Radio Advent Guide, "The Story For the Ages" highlights on today's entry, God can use authorities to accomplish His purposes. That is a principle seen throughout the Scriptures, as leaders, good and bad, are placed inside the plan of God.  Even leaders who can be viewed negatively: from Pharoah to Pilate, we can see His wise plan unfold.  One polit...  Read More
