by Brian Franks Genealogies seem to be one of the hardest things in the Bible for people to get excited about. Thankfully, they don’t come around too often.

Two responses that changed the world. by Moises Capetillo W hen we tell the story of Jesus’ birth, it is easy to focus on the miraculous moments: angels, dreams, stars, and prophecies fulfilled.
