    As Christians we're supposed to live a different life than those around us. But how can we do that when we're surrounded with so many temptations to do things we know we shouldn't do?

    Back in the 14th century, in the region we now call Belgium, there was a duke by the name of Raynald III. Raynald had a nickname – Crassus. Crassus means fat, and he was fat because he really liked to eat. He liked to EAT … a lot! In the course of time, he had a violent quarrel with his younger ...read more

     | 1,885 views

    While the Rapture is delayed everyone must reach the gates of death. What are those last days, hours, minutes like? We look at that, and questions around death. For Christians, the Lord Jesus provides the road through death into His presence FOREVER MORE.

    WHEN WE ARE AT THE POINT OF DEATH – THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE [1]. THE INTRODUCTION – THOUGHTS NEARING DEATH I would estimate very few want to face death, but for the committed Christians, they are prepared and happy to, because they know the truth of the verses - {{2Corinthians 5:7-8 “for we ...read more

    Who Are The All Souls & All Saints?

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 252 views

    All Saints and All Souls are the Church triumphant in Heaven in union with us, the church militant, on earth. There is a deep bond between the two communities, and we join them in Heaven to worship and praise God unceasingly when we come to worship God.

    To my understanding, there are three Church festivals that we celebrate grandly, far from knowing what is being genuinely celebrated. They are Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Out of these three festivals, the most misunderstood and distorted feast is Halloween. We are still fortunate that the ...read more
