Getting to the Point of the Nativity

Getting to the Point of the Nativity

As we move closer and closer to Christmas, the Christmas story will be told, retold, and told again at parties, get togethers, and Church events. Many of the conversations will turn to the accuracy our conception of the Nativity Scene. There will be those that take the opportunity to tell others that the Nativity Scene we often see displayed is not quite accurate. Depending on the particular Nativity Scene they are discussing, these people may very well be correct. Healthy discussion of biblical truth is always enlightening  because it sends us to the Scriptures to discover what is true. Here’s a unique video from Igniter Media that addresses this subject.

How to Win at Punch Bug

How to Win at Punch Bug

Do you play Punch Bug?  If you don’t, maybe you should. It’s a fun little game to play during a road trip, short or long.
