Without the glorious resurrection of Jesus from the tomb, we cannot have eternal life. During the season of Easter, we rejoice in the resurrection of Christ from the dead.
He was raised for our justification. Because of this event, we are declared Read More

But still, ‘why do people not go to church?’
This is what I have seen, heard and felt:
