#1 Do I Really Believe It?
The Bible is full of supernatural phenomena and historic reality. One’s responsibility is to confront it, not retreat or resist it with blinders or denial. Unfortunately, many don’t go far beyond the happy superficial aspects of the holiday. Yes, the Christmas story must be intellectually reconciled. No one should escape the study and evaluation of history, documented evidence, and spiritual faith.
If we celebrate Christmas, then how is it that we really don’t believe it all?

#5 How Do I Deal With This?
In our modern culture many will summarize the life of Jesus as the wise rabbi who preached and taught love and tolerance. He healed the sick and served the poor and then was put to an untimely death for his radical ideas by his dissenters. This superficial treatment gets worse when we consider the birth of this same man, Jesus. We have to deal with it and confront the reality of a Biblical story that is real, compelling and steeped in historic and justifiable truth. But how?
How do I actually deal with the greatest and most preposterous truthful story ever told?
