Has the Bethlehem Star Mystery Been Unveiled?

The Heavens Declare the Creative Glory of God
Publisher’s Note: I have presented the following in presentation form for almost a quarter of a century. This is the first time I have put it in article form. Having been a former President of the Roper Mountain Astronomers and a former board member for many years, I have presented the following as my opinion of the Bethlehem Star. God has used it many times to share the reason for the season.
Even though the Bible never calls or implies that the Bethlehem Star was a supernatural miracle, I have had a few attendees tell me that I am trying to explain an unexplainable miracle as if that makes this miraculous event less than a miracle. But it is my opinion that this makes it more of a miracle. It glorifies the Creator more in that God set all these astronomical events in motion at the beginning of the creation of the heavens and earth. No astronomical events mentioned in the Bible collide with each other or get off track. But they occur precisely when He intended them to, at the right historical moments, despite the human choice variables involved. Only the Almighty God of Creation can do that! That is what I call a Divine Miracle of Creation!
Why Religious Freedom Cases Are Back in the Sportlight this Week
- Details
- By STZ Network
Religious freedom is once again drawing national attention as new court cases and policy disputes raise questions about how faith is protected in public life.
For many Christians, these cases go beyond legal theory. They affect the ability to live out biblical convictions openly — in churches, schools, workplaces, and everyday life. Just as importantly, many believers see these issues as a reminder that Christians have a shared voice and shared rights under the Constitution.
Christian Mobilization Effort Reaches One Million ‘to Pray and Vote’ Ahead of 2026 Primary Season

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Christian nonprofit has announced today that it reached its “one million Christians” milestone for mobilizing the church to pray, vote and engage in every U.S. election – ahead of critical primary elections that begin in March 2026.
“Christians are called to be salt and light in our culture,” said Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged, whose state-of-the-art voter mobilization network has reached more than one million Americans across all 50 states, employing “reminders through texts and emails around state and local elections.”
“While the American church has grown apathetic in its stewardship of our rights and liberties,” Pounds said, “reaching this milestone signals that Christians are waking up to demonstrating tangible expressions of their faith by stepping into the voting booth, the ballot box, and the halls of civic engagement.”

Churches of Coffeyville Unite to Defend Religious Rights
COFFEYVILLE — The City of Coffeyville has formally withdrawn its attempt to classify an active ministry property as “vacant” and impose escalating annual penalties after the action triggered constitutional scrutiny and a formal legal challenge.
The City’s enforcement of Ordinance No. G-25-04 threatened a $500 annual fee, compounded year after year, unless the property—actively used for ministry and chaplaincy work—was registered as vacant. The building was neither abandoned nor vacant.
When Rev. Dr. James F. Linzey, a retired U.S. Army chaplain, a Wounded Veteran and pastor of Coffeyville Worship Center, went to City Hall to correct the record, the inquiry raised immediate alarm.
Largest Catholic Account on Instagram Banned for 'Harassment and Bullying' — But Instagram Lied and Said 'Intellectual Property'
- Details
- By Catholic Connect Inc.
HOUSTON, Texas — Instagram told Catholic Connect — the largest Catholic organization account in the United States — that it was banned for “intellectual property violations.” Then Catholic Connect discovered the truth: Instagram told the person who reported the account that it was banned for “harassment and bullying.” They gave us one reason and our accuser another. Someone at Instagram skipped the Eighth Commandment.
“They claimed IP violations but gave us nothing — no posts, no complaints, no evidence. Then we discovered they told our accuser something completely different: ‘harassment and bullying.’ One ban. Two stories. Zero credibility. We have the screenshots to prove it,” said Richy Orozco, Founder of Catholic Connect Inc.
Are American Churches Becoming Pastored by AI?

- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
American pastors are becoming increasingly comfortable using artificial intelligence in ministry, according to a 2025 survey prepared by AI company Exponential. According to “The 2025 State of AI in the Church Survey Report,” 91% of ministry leaders surveyed declared themselves “for … the use of AI in ministry work” (up from 87% in 2024), 61% of respondents used AI at least weekly (up from 25% in 2024), and 25% used AI daily (up from 13% in 2024).
Is this increased use of AI positive or negative? In answer to a question about their “perspective on AI as it relates to ministry,” 30% of survey respondents said it was positive, 5% called it inherently dangerous, and 65% viewed it as a “neutral tool,” whose “impact depends entirely on how it’s used.” (Notably, 0% of respondents chose the fourth option provided, which is that AI is irrelevant to ministry — a fact discussed further below.)
