To celebrate Christ, and to acknowledge our love for Him, what should we do? We must pray, read our bible, and worship Him! It cost Christ his life when He came to earth, just so we could lead the kind of life we are able to lead today. We must give thanks to Him for [...]

It’s all Because He Lives… I said it before, but I make no apology for repeating myself…if Christ hadn’t died on the cross and then risen from the dead, we wouldn’t celebrate Easter…and in fact would Christianity even be what it is today? Thank goodness for that very first Easter! Thank you God for sacrificing [...]

Just a few months ago we celebrated the birth of Jesus, and then in the last couple of weeks, we celebrated Christ‘s death and His resurrection, but where do we go from here? Yes, Christmas and Easter are the two most important events in the Christian calendar but that doesn’t mean that when it’s not [...]

As far as I’m concerned, the reason we celebrate Easter has never been in doubt. However I do appreciate that for those of you who have never been told all about Jesus and how much He loves each one of us, you may still doubt why Christians celebrate Easter. It’s all about love… It’s all [...]

No I haven’t got the year wrong, I meant to give this a ten-year-old title! Why? Because Easter weekend 10 years ago marked the start of a new era in my Christian journey. Easter 2002 was the first weekend that I no long attended Rutherglen Salvation Army, but Bellshill corps instead. I’d been attending evening [...]

You’re probably thinking, what a stupid questions, of course everyone knows it’s Easter! However I guess the question I’m really asking is do they know the reason why we celebrate Easter? Have a think about all your family, friends, work/school mates and your neighbours, what percentage of them do you think are celebrating the Christ‘s [...]

Good Friday…why do we call today “good” Friday, when on this day we remember the pain and the agony Christ suffered for us when He died on a cross. It’s a fabulous Friday simply because of that pain and agony Christ suffered for us when He died on a cross. After all, as I’ve said [...]
