1+ hour, 2+ min ago (308+ words) Please check back daily during the month of December as through Christmas we'll have an entry from The Heart of Christmas: A Devotional for the Season. It is one thing to say that the child born in Bethlehem was God incarnate; it is quite another to establish it beyond a reasonable doubt. To do so, we must demonstrate Jesus to be the sinless, supernatural Savior of humanity. What Child is this? None other than the sinless, supernatural Savior "who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried . . . the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead."

Linda Harold visited Eye on NE Kansas to share information about the drive-through living nativity at First Lutheran Church in Topeka. Linda said more than 200 people are involved in the production, including actors, display builders and other volunteers. They also include live animals in their presentations of the scenes.

This dinner celebrated the Christmas spirit, but also sought to recognize the various humanitarian and diplomatic efforts carried out this year in Geneva, a city that has long been designated as the European headquarters of the United Nations and the Human Rights Council.

Host McKay Coppins and Douthat talk about the role of religion in society and how religion is influencing America right now. Douthat, author of the new book, "Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious" and a devout Catholic, makes what he calls the rational case for believing in God.

Recently, Merrill was a guest on Jimmer Fredette's "From the Logo with Jimmer Fredette" podcast.

While "there's so many different ways that it has helped me," Merrill said, he specifically mentioned the two-year mission he served for the church in Nicaragua. Beyond resiliency, Merrill's faith has also helped him put his basketball career in perspective.
