Ancient Words: His First Coming, King of Kings The story of the three Wise Men at Christmas has become entrenched in our holiday period with mystery and legend—some incorrect.

Ancient Words: His Second Coming, Abound in Love (Fear Not) For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Rom 8:14-15 by Scott Johnson
