The "Back to Wonder" Devotional

This site is dedicated purely to biblical, Christ-centered theological reflection and historical context. We absolutely reject astrology, horoscopes, and any form of date-setting or personal fortune-telling.
All astronomical interpretations (including the 3 BCE alignment) are offered as faithful, non-dogmatic reflections of God's handiwork — one thoughtful interpretation among others. The Bible is always our final authority.
