by Bob Crittenden on December 18th, 2025
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
