Christmas and Incarnation

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

What is Christmas all about? Boughs of holly? Flashy colors? Cheer? Generous gift-giving?

Not that these things are bad, but Christians know that we should be celebrating something much deeper and more meaningful: the birth of Jesus Christ.

But even many Christians haven’t thought through the depth of who Jesus Christ is and why we celebrate His birth. What really is His birth about? Why did He have to be born, anyway? Just who and what is Jesus Christ?

Get ready to look at Christmas through the eyes of a clear doctrine of the incarnation of the Son–and understand what it isn’t.

In this episode we see how the doctrine of the Trinity is absolutely fundamental to a true doctrine of an incarnation of God. Yes, Christmas itself demands the Trinity.

A Conversation with Three Mormons

My brother John joins me for the first time as a guest on Truthspresso. Two Mormon missionaries and their bishop visited my house on Friday. John was there to join me.

Responding to the 2024 Elections

The 2024 elections exceeded many expectations. Donald J. Trump is once again slated for the White House. He won in an electoral landslide and won the popular vote. He gained in almost every demographic. We look at some fiscal data and figure out why Gen Z and younger Millennials shifted the most toward Trump from 2020. Some people are really unhappy and feel their very livelihood and the world is in danger. After playing some clips of TikTok people melting down, I present a challenge to Christians. If you’re happy or feel relief, avoid the trap of kicking people while they’re down. Be a listening ear and ask questions gently. Speak truth in love. Ease the angst and look for

A Nation In Captivity?

On the eve of world-changing elections I skim through some of the stories in the book of Daniel and ask if the United States is in a form of captivity. Will the country head more toward captivity or out of it? Can our vote steer the nation one way or another?
