2+ hour, 1+ min ago (547+ words) by Melinda McCredie | Dec 19, 2025 For Christians, this time of year allows us to concentrate on the true meaning of the season. However, in our increasingly secular Australian society, it's not uncommon for people attending Christmas events, despite the name, to express a bit of surprise. There seems to be a level of disbelief among some people that there is a Christian religious aspect to these events, be it Christmas celebrations or Carols. In his article titled Secularism Rising, Knowledge Declining, Bill Meuhlenburg discusses the need for us to reclaim the Christian aspects of Christmas.

2+ hour, 24+ min ago (1403+ words) COLUMBIA, TENN. " Jubilant singing rang throughout the West Seventh Street Church of Christ auditorium on a recent Sunday as Christians gathered in celebration of the 100-year-old building." Randy Owens, the congregation's preaching minister of 20 years, leaned against the podium and looked out at the crowd of about 500." "I'm going to go and speak for those who were here in 1925," Owens said. "I wasn't here. You weren't either. But I think I'm right in saying this: that there was never the intent that anyone who would come into this building would walk away saying, "You have a beautiful building.' Instead, they would walk away after being with this church in worship and say, "You have a beautiful God." More important than the history is the present, he explained. Throughout the week the downtown building transforms into what serves its surrounding community,…...
