Christmas Characters: Part 1

Open book with glasses, Christmas lights, ornaments, and pine.

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?

Degrees of Sin

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.

Forgetful God?

Torn paper with the text Forgetting with crumbled paper balls. Dementia, memory loss and disremembering concept.

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.

Infinite God

Divine hands crafting the universe Depicting creation and omnipotence

Our God is big. Seriously big. I’m talking infinitely big. He has no limits – despite how we mentally put Him in a box sometimes. I want to get back to the simple truth that our God is infinite in an infinite amount of ways.

The Star of Bethlehem

July 9, 2025January 10, 2025 by Cory Lewis
Christmas star of the Nativity of Bethlehem, Nativity of Jesus Christ. Background of the beautiful dark blue starry sky and bright star.

The Star of Bethlehem features prominently in the Christmas story. And people have been trying to identify what kind of phenomenon it was for centuries. Is there a natural explanation? Supernatural? In this post, I cover both options.
