After Jesus was lifted up through the clouds into heaven, two angels appeared to the disciples, asking them, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven?” Advent is a time of two comings: remembering Christ’s first coming and looking forward to His second. Perhaps during this time, though, some of us have spent…

He Shall Shepherd His Flock in the Strength of the LORD
Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the judge of Israel on the cheek. But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in…
The Christian Arsonist
It is hard to be more entertaining or informative than this.
A Study of the Acts of the Apostles

The Man Who Knew Too Much
Just watched this movie recently. A great old Alfred Hitchcock film starring James Stewart and Doris Day.

Highly recommended.
