[I admire those people who are ultra-organised around Christmas time - even before the last hectic week starts they have bought all their presents and have sent out all their cards and have all the other arrangements in place. I'm not, such a person! Plus, for some reason, this year the commercialisation of Christmas really [...]

Christianity is Christ
Selwyn continues to discuss the importance of Jesus the person – what He taught, and what He did, are just minor details compared to who He was/is - as a Person. It is, who He is, that makes all the other aspects of His life important. If Jesus was just a very nice human being, a good [...]
