The Ministry of Song

I’ve Been Visited by an Angel

by Ron

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Joseph. He gets very little “press” at Christmas yet his role in the advent of the Christ-child was so significant. The Scripture calls him a righteous man…And, after the angel appeared in a dream and told him what was happening, he awoke and did what […]
