Actually the word Easter. It has been named as an ancient fertility goddess. There are disputes about that, but it doesn’t really matter since the name itself has nothing to do with Christ. Easter today is generally associated with chocolate, the Easter Bunny, new clothes. Some non-Christians actually think the Easter Bunny is part of... Continue Reading →

Whether it’s positive thinking, positive... Continue Reading →
Salvation Unto Us Has come!
Why did the Son of God come down from heaven? For us men and for our salvation. We remember during Holy Week why and how God loves us. In this way God loves us: He sent His only begotten Son to pay for our sins by dying on the cross. The innocent dies so the... Continue Reading →
