Christian Odyssey:
Truce on Earth, Good Will Toward Men

In this issue:

  • Editorial: Happy Christmas Billi7, by John Halford. There are now 7 billion people alive on earth. Jesus is good news for every one of them.
  • Truce on Earth, Good Will Toward Men, by John Halford. It was the first Christmas during World War I, and the troops thought that Christmas was more important than war.
  • The Light of Lights, by Rick Shallenberger. If I were lost and needed directions, I’d look for a home with Christmas lights to ask for help.
  • God Told Me... by Mike Feazell. How do we know if it's really God?
  • Journey to the Middle of the World, by Carla Pearson-Sethna. I have wanted to go to Ecuador ever since I heard Danny Oertli's song.
  • HolidayGreetings.com, by Brenda Steffen. Good news from a distant land is like cold water to a weary soul.
  • Big Sandy Revisited, by John Halford. Rather than dwell on the past, the Big Sandy congregation decided to become an active part of the local community.
  • Tammy's Turn: Emmanuel, Our Redeemer, by Tammy Tkach. What is a "redeemer"? There's a good biblical example in the book of Ruth.
  • Bible Study: Forty-Two Men and Five Women, by Michael Morrison. A Study of Matthew 1:1-16. Ancient readers would have found something interesting in that list of names: women.
  • Hmm... December 2011 - January 2012
  • Happy Birthday, Billi7, Whoever You Are
  • Hmm... December 2011
  • Truce on Earth, Good Will Toward Men
  • The Light of Lights
  • Journey to the Middle of the World
  • HolidayGreetings.com
  • Big Sandy Revisited
  • Aging to Perfection
  • Emmanuel, Our Redeemer
Happy Birthday, Billi7, Whoever You Are ›
