Just consider the logic of it. Every other religion there’s a kind of fight with the god and its creation.
With Christianity, God loves His creation so much that He sacrifices Himself to make sure His creation can be with Him.
It’s not a story man could have come up with. We are too arrogant to admit our sin keeps us damned.

I’ve wanted to make a video on this for years. I originally wanted to make a long video essay or podcast but this is the best you get right now.
Go easy on me, it’s my first video and I’m not trying to become an influencer.

As we approach Easter, remember that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected. People may deny this because there is "no evidence" of this impossibility; but let me ask a simple question.
Why was it documented and why did so many people die for this "lie"? The counter is that not enough people or people in power who were threatened by this act didn't document it so therefore it must not be true.
The most logical answer is that it's not a lie, but a reality.
I remember a pandemic that recently happened where scientists like me were documenting the truth and no one believed because those in power who didn't want the truth to get out didn't agree with me.
Christ loves you no matter what. You only need to open your heart to Him.

Hello Friends,
To date this is the most important and difficult post I have ever made. If you would kindly read and repost it I would be deeply greatful.
I don't share a lot of my personal life, or my family, on the internet. I was raised by someone with a very high security clearence so it goes against my nature, habits, and personal policy to post about my wife and kids.
Today I break that habit for my wife, Natasha, who is sick. Invasive Endometriosis threatens to damage her vital organs permanantly. It threatens her life. It has already taken much of her quality of life.
To this point she needs access to a specialist surgeon. Which carries a cost that I cannot meet. For a more full explanation I will include a link at the bottom of this post.
I love this woman, I would burn the world down for her, but unfortunately I have to do something harder than that- I need to ask for help.
I will be pushing this campaign daily in the best way I can, with memes. Once a day I am going to post a fresh meme made by yours truly. Each meme will have a QR code on it. If you see these memes please repost them. I know that most of my following are writers, which is not a career known for its wealth. So I understand if you dont make a donation. If you cannot donate please repost, and pray for us.
I am not turning my whole timeline into a pity party. I will keep any discussion of the situation to the daily meme and maybe an occasional update.
I know its cliché but any amount helps, any assistance is appreciated, and any sympathy is welcome. It all gives us hope.
If you read this far I want you to know I love you for doing so. To hearing me. Even if you do nothing more at this point.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

To preach the gospel without the message of Christ as Creator and the entrance of sin and death is to preach a gospel without a foundation. To preach a gospel without the message of Christ and his Crucifixion and Resurrection is to preach a gospel without power. To preach a gospel without the message of the coming kingdom is to preach a gospel without hope.

What do King Asa, King Joash, King Amaziah, and King Uzziah from 2 Chronicles have to teach us today?
These kings started well, doing that which was right before the Lord. But they didn’t end well. These kings did evil and turned against the Lord in a variety of ways.
And why did they not end well? Well, power, riches, and success led to an increase in human pride. Instead of trusting in God as they did in their early years, these kings looked to themselves for guidance and wisdom. God had blessed them with power, success, and riches, but because of their sinful human heart, they became prideful. They did not end well at all.
How will each one of us as believers “end”? Will we end well? Will we keep the zeal for the Lord we have? Or will we look to ourselves and let pride destroy us?
That’s something we should each stop and consider.

Let’s do apologetics like Lazarus!
In explaining how we conduct apologetics evangelism at @AiG, I like to use the account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11). When Jesus came to the tomb of Lazarus, he told people to roll the stone away. Now, Jesus could have moved the stone with one command—but what people could do for themselves, he asked them to do. Then what people couldn’t do, he did with a command—his Word. He raised Lazarus from the dead.
At AiG, we know that non-Christians are really walking dead people “dead in the trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1). Only God’s Word can raise the dead. So when we are witnessing to “dead” people, we do the best we can to give answers (1 Peter 3:15) to defend the faith and, in so doing, to point them to the Word of God that saves! God is the One who opens people’s hearts and who “has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
Yes, God’s Word reaches even the most hardened heart. There is hope for every unbeliever, for the Lord “is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). And “blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3).
Never give up on praying for and sharing the gospel with hardened hearts.

Christians have been intimidated by the constant attacks from scholars and intellectuals on the accuracy of the Bible.
Most believers don’t know how to answer their skeptical questions about God’s Word. Christians have been indoctrinated to believe that they need to be “neutral” in their arguments about moral issues and not use scriptural arguments.
But there is no neutral position—one is either for Christ or against Christ.
Furthermore, many Christians have been brainwashed into thinking that the so-called “separation of church and state” means that the public (secular) schools are now neutral because they have by and large eliminated God and the Bible from the classroom.
Secular really means anti-God. One is either for or against Christ, there is no neutral position.

The message of the gospel doesn’t end with Jesus’ death on the cross.
The message goes on to tell us Jesus rose from the dead and offers a free gift of salvation. And we are warned in Scripture that if we don’t receive this free gift of salvation, we will live for eternity separated from God.
But for those who repent of their sin and put their trust in Jesus and what he did on the cross for them, they will spend eternity with their Creator.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
“Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
“And these [the unsaved] will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (Matthew 25:46).
Where are you going to spend eternity?
