How do you actually become a Christian? Not culturally, not by family tradition — but personally? Here’s a simple, biblical walk-through using the NIV. ↓

There are not enough words to describe how much better the world would be without pornography/OnlyFans.

The elites will never ban pornography. They want it to continue destroying society, so they’ll make sure it’s easily accessible... Read your Bible, follow Jesus, put on the armor of God, and rely on the Holy Spirit for self-control.

“Not only do many not know God, but those who do rarely listen to His voice. It is a tragedy that many of God’s people have conformed themselves to the world and its thinking, rather that being transformed by the renewing of their minds.” —Billy Graham

The Milky Way as seen from Artemis II. God created this, and it is so beautiful. I am in awe. The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. - Psalm 19:1

The Earth is so beautiful and right now it is my home, but it is only my temporary home. I am just passing through on my way to my eternal home in paradise, where I will be in the presence of my Lord and Savior for all of eternity.

This was designed by God. All the glory goes to Him.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”  Psalm 19:1

My relationship with Jesus is the most important thing in the world.

Chuck Swindoll preaching powerfully on the only way we can find hope in death: “But Job. What a man. I just read again his words. Listen to them: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives and at the last He shall stand on this earth, and though after worms destroy this body, in my flesh, shall I see God.’ What a great, great statement. He believed he would be raised whole and complete because of his Redeemer. Interesting word—Redeemer. It’s from the Hebrew goel. It means ‘defender.’ Don’t you love that? I know that my Defender lives. You see, at death, we don’t need a priest, a preacher. We don’t need an attorney or physician, a warrior heavily armed. Does us no good. We need a Defender, someone to acquit us before a holy God because even as Job may have been a fine man, he was not sinless. Nor is any one of us. And knowing that we are sinful, how can we stand before a holy God when we are raised? We must have a Defender. One who paid a price for us on a cross… Death will not win. Death has no sting. The grave has no victory when you have a Defender…”

Today is Good Friday. Thank you, Jesus for your amazing and unthinkable sacrifice. You died so that we would have life, and life in abundance. “It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews … With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, ‘Surely this man was the Son of God!’” Mark 15

The way to God was thrown wide open by the sacrifice of Christ; and that robber’s den, that temple, would soon be reduced to rubble. God’s Own Commentary on the Cross. — John MacArthur // April 19, 2019 And there’s no more Holy of Holies, and there’s no more barrier, and there are no more sacrifices, and there’s no more priesthood. Imagine this happens at 3:00 on Passover in a crowded temple. The curtain rips from top to bottom and the Holy of Holies is exposed, the very symbol of the abode of God. No more temple, no more Holy Place, no more Holy of Holies, no more sacrifice, no more priesthood. Why? The way to God was thrown wide open by the sacrifice of Christ; and that robber’s den, that temple, would soon be reduced to rubble. And that is why the writer of Hebrews in chapter 10, verse 19 says, and these are welcoming words, “Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,” – listen to this – “let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience, our body washed with pure water.” If we have been cleansed, not by a laver or some kind of animal sacrifice, but if we have been cleansed by Christ we can walk right into the presence of God. God then at the cross by ripping the curtain declares that Jesus has provided full access into His presence. And there’s a fifth part of this scene that gives divine commentary on the event, verse 51, “The earth shook, the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.” Final astonishing, divine act at the cross, the final interpretation of the death of Christ by God is that it made possible our what? Resurrection. Physical, bodily resurrection came through the cross, and God gave a preview of it by raising the dead who didn’t show up publicly until Christ was raised, because He was to be the firstfruits.I’m glad we have Isaiah, I’m glad we have Paul, I’m glad we have Peter and John to explain the cross. But God explained the cross while it was happening. The wrath of God against sin is seen in the darkness. The holiness of God in turning away from sinners is seen in the separation. The love of God is seen in the self-sacrificial death of God incarnate. The satisfaction of God is seen in that the Holy of Holies is thrown wide open, and no priest is ever needed again. And finally, the hope of eternal resurrection is seen in the sudden raising of the saints. This is God’s commentary on the cross; what an incredible scene it was.
