The Star of Bethlehem Is a Zodiac Killer - Christianity Today From Russell Moore: How Christmas upends everything that draws our culture to astrology.

โ€œAt first glance, the guidance of the Magi might lead us to conclude that we too should seek out those who can read constellations,โ€ writes @drmoore.bsky.social.

You see a seasonal Christmas snack. You think, I should pick up a box. Why not? Iโ€™ll eat them in moderation. Itโ€™ll be fine.

That is the lie you tell yourself before you bite into the goodness that is a @thereallittledebbie Christmas Tree.

I possibly am going to need a support group.

Strike Up the Band: Sixpence None the Richer Goes Back on Tour - Christianity Today With its perennial hit โ€œKiss Meโ€ still in our ears and on our playlists, the Christian band reunites with nothing to prove.

โ€œKiss Meโ€ has been covered by Sabrina Carpenter, interpolated into the single โ€œMoonlight Floorโ€ by Lisa of Blackpink, and even revealed as one of Mark Zuckerbergโ€™s โ€œfight jams.โ€

Sixpence None the Richer's lead singer talks to CT about reuniting the band:
