Easter Is About Conviction

On the other hand, some churches are planning to go on pilgrimages; the Zion Christian Church members heading for Moria in South Africa, the International Pentecostal Church members heading for Shilo, while the Spiritual Healing Church members are preparing for a  pilgrimage the north of the country.

Amidst all the excitement, the important question is how much of all this is about the death and resurrection of Christ? The focus, once more is on those things that make us happy and excited, it is about our plans to pass time and recover from the stress of school and work. During this time lives are lost as people drive recklessly, many under the influence. It is not only bars, bottle stores and food outlets that make a monetary killing but more importantly churches, or some at least. I say churches when I should be saying some pastors, prophets, evangelist... the titles abound!
