Dr. Chuck Missler, now in heaven, for many years taught the Bible like no other teacher I've ever heard. In this video, "The Christmas Story Part 1", he explores IN DEPTH the genealogy of Jesus Christ, and the history of some of the wrinkles along the way to His birth.
Hear Dr. Missler explain how, in the first chapter of Matthew, every word, sentence, paragraph, and more add up to the number seven (7). Why is this significant? There is no doctrine or meaning here, perhaps, but it is evidence of a source outside of our world for the writing!
Listen to this message... it will fill you with WONDER at the plan of God. As one video commenter states:
"One of Greatest Bible Teachers of all time. Only eternity will reveal his impact on the millions of lives he has touched."
Truly, it is difficult to untangle a Christian message from current Christmas-time festivities, gift-giving, and community goings-on, but a thin thread can often still be seen woven through the densest materialistic cloth.
God is the inventor of beauty and joy! Though an Enemy tries to twist all things away from their true purpose and bend "Good" into "Not Good", God is stronger.
"God's Grandeur" by Gerard Manley Hopkins captures this deep truth:
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Hi, I'm Dana! (Say that like "Anna".) I'm the owner of Music-for-Music-Teachers.com, and this newer site, SingTheBibleStory.com.
Like some of you, I've been playing the piano since early childhood, and have added a few other instruments along the way, plus an interest in arranging and composing music.
I also happen to love the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Christian worldview that portrays The Great War in the heavens, in which we here on earth are destined to be a part.
