Simplifying the Truth
Welcome to part 2 in my series Christmas Characters. Today I’m exploring the characters of Simeon and Anna. If you’re not sure who they are or how they relate to the Christmas story, just keep on reading!
Who were Zechariah and Elizabeth in the Christmas story? All people really talk about is that they were John the Baptist’s parents. But is there more to know? And what do they bring to the table that we can pick out and learn from?
Many churches preach that all sins are equal in the sight of God. But we don’t live like we believe it. In fact in church there are some sins that are taboo to talk about. So what does the Bible say about all this? The answer might surprise you.
Can God forget? Yes, but not in the same way we forget something and then smack our foreheads and say “Whoops! I forgot!” God’s not one to literally forget something. But the Bible says He does, so what gives? I’m so glad you asked.
What exactly is sin? And what’s the big deal? We talk about how terrible sin is in God’s eyes and Jesus died for our sin, but we don’t always explain what it is or why it’s so bad. We just know it’s bad. As always, I’m turning to the Bible for the answers.
