In my lifetime the two holidays fell on the same day once before, in 1945, when I was one year old. People who calculate future calendars say the next time April...

In hours, He would be betrayed and arrested, and the conflict of the ages between good and evil — between God and Satan — would take place. Could it be avoided? In His prayer, Jesus looked deeply into the “cup” He wa...
