(By Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Easter congers images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?
Today when Easter Sunday rolls around a good many Christians spend more time participating in secular events than celebrating the Resurrection of their Savior. Before I move on I should point out that “Easter” is now passé. Wanting to remove the Christian origins of our language, secularists managed to change Resurrection Sunday to Easter Sunday and Easter break to spring break – all in the name of tolerance. Fortunately a large number of believers have caught on to their shenanigans and have gone back to using Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter.
Just as our postmodern culture has secularized Christmas, likewise Easter has been secularized and now we incorporate the Easter Bunny, hunting for colorful eggs and binging on chocolate and jellybeans. There’s nothing wrong with Easter festivities per se — but for Christians, Christ’s triumph over death ought to be the reason for the celebration. What does a big bunny, a basket filled with plastic Easter eggs and decadently delicious goodies have to do with Jesus? Continue reading

(Wayne Allyn Root) I’m just back from Florida where I had the great honor of speaking at a “Club 45” event that had two speakers: myself and former President Donald J. Trump. Thousands of tickets sold out in 20 minutes. We had a wild, raucous, standing-room-only crowd inside the ballroom of the Palm Beach Airport Hilton.

The word vicarious is extremely important to our understanding of the atonement of Christ. The late Swiss theologian Karl Barth once said that, in his judgment, the single most important word in all of the Greek New Testament is the minuscule word huper. This little word is translated by the English phrase “in behalf of.” Barth was clearly engaging in a bit of hyperbole in making this statement, because many words in the New Testament are arguably as important or even more important than huper, but he was simply seeking to call attention to the importance of what is known in theology as the vicarious aspect of the ministry of Jesus. 
(Thomas D. Williams – Breitbart) Pope Francis accused the West of racism Friday, insisting migrants are “subdivided” by skin color and country of origin.
“The West no longer has any consensus on what it means to be a woman or even a person. And thus the ethical codes that assume such a consensus are falling apart with dramatic consequences for all sorts of areas, from Ivy League sports to the safety of our society’s most vulnerable—the very young and the very old who rely on others to care for them.” 
“The church should be no less busy today contradicting and stopping the mouths of heretics as it was from its beginning. Instead, many in the church have adopted the tactics and strategies of the world. They begin by labeling people who are concerned with doctrinal truth as unkind and mean-spirited and overly critical of others. Perhaps some would accuse them of being intellectual bullies. This kind of name-calling and classification is used to manipulate people’s behavior.” 
“Dr. Paul said there’s a reason to be optimistic looking forward. He claimed this year’s gubernatorial elections will be a referendum on how many governors treated their constituents throughout the COVID-era.”
“John Cooper of the Heritage Foundation compiled the smears as they happened, so I’m indebted to him for his thorough Twitter thread. But let’s look at how the administration lied about these agents and refused to walk those slanders back.”
“Gun control advocate Fred Guttenberg said he wouldn’t buy any Tesla cars because of the CEO’s pro-free speech stance. “People buying his cars are not your likely Trump voters.”
“Scripture also teaches that those who are truly saved do not depart from the faith (
It should be very concerning to Bible believing Christians that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a.k.a 
“There is no way they thought they would be prosecuted for crimes. They couldn’t possibly have thought they were committing crimes by entering.”
(Dissenter) In 2016, David Uth, pastor of First Baptist Church in Orlando, FL, 
“The film’s release, just as Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law, has forced Disney to pick a side between parents who want conversations about sex to stay age-appropriate and queer activist teachers who want children thinking about sex younger and younger, coaching them into elective medical procedures with life-long effects without their parents’ input or consent. After a brief attempt at neutrality, the public mega-corporation chose the latter option.”
“We have not made a decision about referrals on the committee. I think that it is absolutely the case, it’s absolutely clear that what President Trump was doing, what a number of people around him were doing, that they knew it was unlawful. They did it anyway.” Actually, that’s not clear at all.
“The ancients sacrificed children to the fires of Moloch while progressives sacrifice them to their passion for wokeness. Either one is a symbolic assertion that the obsessions of the adult are more important than the safety of the child. Civilized adults don’t act this way. Barbarians, which is another way of saying children who inhabit the bodies of adults without the disciplined ethics of adulthood, do things like this because they live in a Lord of the Flies world of emotional turmoil, fearful insecurity, and angry selfishness….” 
“The cure became worse than the illness but medical tyrants like Dr. Anthony Fauci, a political operative, pushed them beyond all reason without any consideration of the collateral damage.”
“Lentz, who had been preaching a watered-down gospel for a decade, should actually hear what the gospel has to say about the sin he’s engulfed himself in right now. Repent and turn to Christ. Believe in Him….” 
“Alarm bells are starting to ring in Democratic circles as the White House stonewalls in the face of increasing media inquiries. In two absurd statements in recent days, White House spokespeople said the president stands by his pre-election statement that Hunter never received any money from China, and he continues to deny that he knew anything about his son’s overseas business dealings.”
“This and other comments build up to the following that suggests nothing must interfere with gender bizarreness, and open borders.”
“Parents have to be vigilant and realize that there is now no media, online or over the air, that you can trust children to watch unsupervised.”
“This “woke church” movement has severely crippled the intellectual capacity of many people and has become a form of God’s judgment against the Church. This wicked philosophy has now permeated nearly every Church and institution and we have very few church leaders who are willing to speak out against it.”
