Isaiah 9:6 (A prophecy fulfilled the day our Lord Jesus was born)

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Hi friends-

Next Show: Origins of Christmas. I'm preparing for Christmas... On my next show (12/1/04), I'll answer some of the following questions about Christmas:

-- Where did Santa and his supporting characters (elves, Rudolf, etc.) come from?

-- Where did "Frosty the Snowman" come from?

-- Why a Christmas tree?-- Why gift giving?

-- Why is there always a legal struggle in society over religious symbols in public places during these holidays?
-- What Scripture references are relevant to the Christmas season?

New Apologetics website.I have a volunteer (Tim Mainwaring) working on an Apologetics website for the FreeGoodNews.com ministry. How is it different than others?

1. We're not selling anything. (Most ministries supply only their own info, so people buy their product and don't leave their website; our purpose is to provide the best and free internet resources. We are supported only by donations, not by the profit on the sale of product.)

2. Most of the material is linked to other ministries, which have the best answers for a given topic. Tim also provides some overview and evaluation.

Click here to see it. It's now available. As we get donations for this specific project, we can develop it further.

Replays for "Church Greed" and summary of show. If you live in Washington County in the Portland area, you can see the re-runs from the "Church Greed" show. Click here for show times.

How did it go? Again, I didn't have time to show all of my material, but I did bring-up many Scriptures and trust that God's Word will touch people... those with an open heart, at least.
