Redeeming the Time

What does 2015 A.D. really mean?
 

<<First Name>>,
As Trevor Grant Thomas has said: The current year is 2015.  This is 2,015 years "not from Caesar, Buddha, or Mohammed, but from the birth of Jesus Christ.  Dan Flynn notes that "[t]he attempt to replace Anno Domini (AD) and BC (Before Christ) with BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) is yet another exercise in futility. Doesn't this Common Era, after all, begin with the life of Christ?"

The impact of Christ's resurrection can be seen in institutions and nations -- virtually every facet of life -- but I think it is most noticeable in the lives of individuals.  We may measure our years from His birth, but our hope is in His resurrection."

In Ireland, we certainly have seen some major cultural changes in recent years. Some of those changes are good and welcome; other changes threaten to undermine the very foundation and fabric of our nation. And we think it's clear that the more people disregard the empty tomb of Christ; the more empty life becomes!



If you're not already, will you join us in strengthening families in Ireland? Our desire is to offer individuals and families real Hope. Hope that will not only affect the present, and future generations--but the only Hope of Christ that can last into eternity!

This is certainly not a new, nor foreign concept to Irish society. Bunreacht na hÉireann states: "Ar mbeith dúinne, muintir na hÉireann, ag admháil go huiríseal a mhéid atáimid faoi chomaoin ag Íosa Críost, ár dTiarna Dia..." (We, the people of Éire, Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ...)

If you are already supporting us financially, thank you! Would you pass along this email to others you think may be interested? If you're considering becoming a supporter, please do not delay. We wouldn't ask for your help if we didn't need it. The task is simply too large to do on our own; but working together, we truly believe that the best way to strengthen Ireland is to refer to the One whom "all
actions both of men and States must be referred."


May the Lord bless you and your family richly this Easter.

Sincerely,

Stephen Cardy,
Chief Executive, Family.ie

Family.ie On the Air & Online pic

On the air (and online): On Easter Monday, we're airing a special "bank holiday" edition of "The Impact of Birth Order on Family Dynamics." And through the month, you'll also hear a few "Family.ie Radio Magazine" programmes--as we discuss a a variety of topics related to bullying, helping our daughters navigate the sex-charged culture, and family finances. Stop by www.Family.ie for free audio downloads available for all of our programmes—so you can either listen online, or download to your mobile device and take us with you!

We've had the first few showings of the "Irreplaceable" film, and have received great reviews so far! Still a big skeptical? You're not alone--but click here to hear what some Irish people have said so far. If you are interested in partnering with us to show the film in your community, please let us know. We have more updates on our website as plans continue to form around the country; and to find out more about this stirring full-length, pro-family documentary, check out our website, and do contact us for more information!
 
We're very thankful for three more new supporters who joined our team this past month! We've also received a few once-off gifts, which we greatly appreciate as well! We need to keep growing our financial supporter base each month; so if you're not a current supporter, would you prayerfully consider standing with us financially? We wouldn’t ask if we didn’t have a genuine need. Please feel no pressure whatsoever; but rest assured that any contribution given will be put to good use. And of course, standing order donations of over €250 per year from either PAYE or the self-employed will allow us to claim tax back, thus increasing your donation!
