Celebrate the New Year Safely

My brother died in a car wreck last New Year's Eve. He'd been to a party and had too much to drink, and he ended up killing not only himself but also the two passengers in his car. Please urge people not to drink and drive. It just isn't worth it.

We Can Learn From the Wise Men's Journey

Jesus' Birth Was Part of God's Plan

Why was Jesus born in an insignificant town, and into a poor and insignificant family? Wouldn't people have paid more attention to Jesus if He'd been born in a palace, or in a major city like Rome?

Make Christmas—and Your Life—All About Christ

What do you think Jesus would say if He came back to earth just before Christmas and walked into one of our large shopping malls? Would He be surprised (or even horrified) at what we've done to Christmas, or would He just take it in stride?
