Ash Wednesday

The Victory Of The Suffering Of Christ

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014

In His victory we are made victorious, even when we suffer unjustly, and for His cause.

The Ministry Of Reconciliation

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013

It requires spiritual thinking: no longer regarding people from a worldly point of view - “according to the flesh” - and certainly not regarding Christ from a worldly ...read more
