If it was not screened in your country, doubtless it will available on DVD before long. I am among those who often find screen retellings of Bible stories tedious: identikit long robes from some 1950s costume department, wooden acting that tries to achieve imagined other-worldly religious ambience, all mixed with an overdose of syrup and generalized schmaltz. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/2993 2010-12-26T09:19:12-05:00 Digital can enhance the ways we share the good news in a Christmas context. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Radical-Christmas-Victory-Plan-4421 2008-09-11T16:51:27-05:00 Now try to get your mind around this: the helpless hands of that little Jewish baby Mary was holding in the manger were the hands that created the galaxies! The Son of God, the second Person of the Godhead, the One of whom the Bible says, "Through Him all things were made" (John 1:3) - comes to our planet in a helpless little package that basically can do nothing for Himself. Omnipotence becomes helplessness to rescue a world full of dying people. As one song says, "What a strange way to save the world." http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Strange-Words-For-a-New-Mom-4423 2008-08-28T14:15:17-05:00 Following the Jewish custom, Mary and Joseph brought their baby boy to the temple to be circumcised, just eight days after that first Christmas. God had someone waiting for them there - an old man named Simeon who had been told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the One he called "the Lord's Christ." He actually held the baby in his arms and praised God for sending Him. http://getreligion.org/?p=3006 2007-12-26T15:57:37-05:00 A post by tmatt about someone placing a GPS device on a nativity scene. http://actsweb.org/articles/article.php?i=158&d=1&c=8&p=1 2007-12-17T12:20:34-05:00 Why did Jesus come to earth?
