Easter Challenge
Column by JUSTIN KLEIST
 
Over the past week God has put something on my heart and I can’t seem to get it out of my mind.
 
It is a burning desire and it takes up every moment of my thoughts.
 
I think He has been telling me to spread the good news and truth about Easter.
 
Last week I made a tract that tells the true meaning of Easter and contains the gospel.
 
I have made more than 400 copies and have been passing them out to people. But this is not enough.
 
What if we could get 3,000 people to read the gospel message before Easter?

Holy Week Meditation: Christ Has Died! Christ Has Risen!

Christ Has Died! Christ Has Risen!

By Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier
Pastor of Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church

Without the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross, we cannot be reconciled to the Father. During the season of Lent, we are thankful that Christ has been crucified for us. He died for our transgressions. He has won for us the forgiveness of all of our sins.

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

Staff report

Passover began at sundown Monday and ends Tuesday, April 2 – chag sameach to our Jewish readers!

In her oral history, Evelyn Litz recalls celebrating Passover at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project: “I remember one year we had Passover there and it was a gigantic room. And we had a beautiful Passover Seder and I think it was led by the Army chaplain but I’m not positive. But it was a very wonderful feeling; yes.”

“Why People Do Not Go to Church?”
By Sr. Pastor Paul Cunningham
First Baptist Church of Los Alamos

A strange subject for a pastor to explore, but one that even this pastor, lived for 10 years. It’s a cultural phenomenon not limited to Los Alamos but spans across the Atlantic, into the very seat of modern Christianity.

According to one report by the North American Mission Board, Los Alamos has the highest percentage of church-attendance of any county in New Mexico – 9.5 percent! 

But still, ‘why do people not go to church?’

This is what I have seen, heard and felt:

Passover, Glazed Donuts and Graduate School
Column by DAVID IZRAELEVITZ

Passover, glazed donuts and graduate school do not mix well. This is a fact that I encountered, for five consecutive years, when I was a graduate student working on my doctoral degree.

Full appreciation of this physical law requires some background, so please bear with me for a paragraph or two.

Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is the Jewish week-long holiday celebrating the Biblical Exodus of the Jews from Egypt.

There is a ceremonial dinner, called the Passover Seder, that begins the week of Passover and introduces the observance Read More
