Contributed by Perry Fowler on Aug 8, 2024

The Last Mourning

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 25, 2025

We cannot imagine what Mary Magdalene must have felt that long ago Easter morning. But maybe we should try.

Should We Celebrate Christ’s Birth?

Contributed by James Linders on Oct 3, 2015

HOWEVER, this does NOT mean that our Saviour was NOT born. On the contrary the Bible gives us CLEAR indication that ...read more
