The New Testament without the miracles would be far easier to believe. But the trouble is, would it be worth believing?

We allow in our minds what we would not allow in our actions, because other people cannot see our thoughts.

Trying to figure out God is like trying to catch a fish in the Pacific Ocean with an inch of dental floss.

The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
