Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul? In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable. He calls the result “men without chests.” People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing. Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear. Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning. Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians. Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

I went back to read the resurrection accounts of Matthew and John this morning and noticed something interesting. The first words out of Jesus’ mouth after the resurrection were “go tell my brothers.” And it brought me to tears. Matthew 28:10. Read it slowly. The stone has just rolled back. Death has just been defeated for the first time in human history. The most consequential moment in the cosmos has just occurred. And the risen King opens his mouth and calls us brothers. But Matthew alone might not stop you. So go to John 20:17, where he tells Mary what to tell them: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” He does not say “the Father.” He does not say “God.” He says MY Father is now YOUR Father. MY God is now YOUR God. He rises and the first thing he does is redistribute the inheritance. This is where most people misread the resurrection. They treat it as a power demonstration. Jesus proved he was God. Jesus showed death who was boss. And those things are true but they are not the point. The point is what he did with the power once he had it. Because what I have learned in my few years on earth is that when men have power, the immediate instinct is to reclassify. The people who were their peers become subordinates. The people who called you brother now call you sir. We have seen it in offices, in governments, in churches. Elevation changes vocabulary. The higher a man rises the lonelier the pronoun “we” becomes. Jesus rose to the highest position in the universe and his vocabulary did not change. He came back and said brothers. He said your Father. He said our God. He reclassified upward. He used his exaltation not to press us into subjects but to pull us into sons. This is the actual consequence of the resurrection: ADOPTION. A dead savior cannot make you a son. A dead elder brother cannot bring you into the family. He had to conquer death because brothers share in each other’s life and he could not give us what he had not first secured himself. Romans 8:29 calls him the firstborn among many brothers. Firstborn means there are others coming. You are not a spectator of his resurrection. You are its intended outcome. The crowned King looked across the infinite chasm between his holiness and your humanity and the word he chose was not “subject.” It was not “servant.” It was not even “beloved.” He said brother. On the other side of death, with all authority in heaven and earth, he said brother. So celebrate today for everything it is. Celebrate the empty tomb, celebrate the vindication of a man the world tried, condemned, and buried, and whom heaven refused to leave in the ground. Celebrate the sins that are gone and the immeasurable, uncontainable, universe-rearranging power of God on full display. But do not miss the most beautiful thing. He did not just cancel your debt. He gave you a name. He did not just acquit you. He adopted you. Forgiveness would have been everything. Sonship is more than everything. And he gave us both. The risen King called us brothers. That means the Father he returned to is the Father we are returning to. That means the glory he walked into is the glory we are walking toward. That means Easter is not just the day Jesus won. It is the day you inherited everything he won it for. Hallelujah! He is risen.

Joseph of Arimathea pulled a corpse off a cross with his bare hands. Blood under his fingernails. The weight of a dead man sagging into his arms. He wrapped God in linen, pressed the fabric into wounds that were still wet. Nicodemus brought seventy-five pounds of burial spice. A king's funeral for a man the world just murdered. They carried Him into a hole in the rock and rolled the stone shut. And everything you've ever done went in with Him. Every night you can't sleep because of what you did. Every morning, you can't look in the mirror. The thing you did to her. The thing you did to them. The lie you've been carrying so long it feels like bone. The version of you that drinks alone and pretends tomorrow will be different. That man was buried with Christ. Stone sealed. Done. Not managed. Not in therapy. Not on a payment plan with God where you slowly earn your way back. Buried. In a tomb. Under rock. Gone. Three days of silence. Three days of a cold body in the dark. Then the stone moved. And when He walked out, the grave clothes were folded on the slab. He didn't stumble out tangled in death. He left it sitting there like a man who's done with the clothes he used to wear. Lazarus needed someone to unwrap him. Death still clung to him even after he was breathing. Jesus folded His own burial linen and walked out clean. That's the difference between religion and resurrection. Religion unwraps you slowly. Asks you to manage your sin. Attend the class. Read the book. Try harder next week. Resurrection says the man who walked into that tomb is dead. The man who walked out doesn't know him. You're not fixing the old you. The old you is in a sealed tomb in Jerusalem, and he's not coming back. The man reading this, the one who thinks he's too far gone, you're not too far. You're already buried. The funeral happened two thousand years ago. Now get up. The stone's already moved. The linen's already folded. Walk out.

Can confirm. Our monarchs have gotten worse and worse over the last 3 years. Last year, most died. If it's killing them, what is it doing to us and our children? This must end.

Greenville council member gives testimony on the effects of planes spraying the skies above her farm in South Carolina She’s raised endangered monarch butterflies for 14 years, she says 80% of her butterflies have died in the last 3 years because of planes spaying our skies This is why we don’t have bugs covering our windshields and cars anymore in America “I've been farming for about 20 years. We have animals on our farm. We have flowers on our farm -1 I serve on the South Carolina garden clubs — I serve as the wildlife director. — I raise endangered monarch butterflies and have done that for 14 years, and I've watched them just almost go extinct. They're down 80%. And that was really the first signs of things going on on my small farm. It didn't make sense. I watched the bees start going — The bees started disappearing — and the last three years by the end of June, my garden was gone. -1 I realized that it was geoengineering and realized what was going on” Everyone should listen to this testimony

A teacher in the making, blowing the whistle. 🔊 All the reasons you need to homeschool.

At no other time in history have kids been raise to be so incompetent Kids spend 13 years in school learning algebra, poetry and biased history But leave school with no basic life skills like: Budgeting Cooking real food Basic home repairs Changing a tire, doing laundry, gardening etc... And when kids are raised to be incompetent & without skills, they feel useless No kid should feel useless. Its up to parents to get involved in their child's education & prepare them for life.

Grrrr

@goodbreffis This is my new favorite song.

When you let your three year old write the lyrics for your next song. 😂

Bee Gees without music hit different 🤣

Drugging boys because they won’t sit & listen to lectures eight hours a day is one of the grossest & most deranged aspects of modern society. Instead of acknowledging there’s a problem with the system, the system just chemically alters the brains of children. Disgusting.

This man literally tells Neuroscience trick to stop negative thought loops.

This daycare center owner explains how preschool-aged children today differ from kids 10–15 years ago.

The thing that stands out in this video is the cartoons on in the background This child doesnt care about the TV. He is stimulated by the building blocks and tapping into his creative energy. He has the full attention of his parents which is the most important thing to a child. Kids dont want a screen. They want to spend time with their family & interact with their environment.

If you are longing for a simpler time that is now gone forever, this video will likely hit HARD… 🥲

Erica Komisar said what too many parents quietly fear is true: “You can delegate your accounting, your laundry, your cooking — but you cannot delegate your relationship with your children. Their mental health depends on your presence.” In a 55-second clip, she calls out the modern myth: Work harder, earn more, outsource childcare — and kids will be “just fine.” They’re clearly not. We glorify endless hustle while childhood mental health collapses. Presence isn’t optional — it’s the foundation. What’s one small way you protect your time and presence with your kids (or plan to)?

Dr. Daniel Amen gave parents a stark warning on screens and young kids: “No screens before three — and even that’s still young.” When a dad asked about “Miss Rachel” videos helping his toddler learn words and recognize animals: Amen was firm: Even purely educational content isn’t good. The developing brain doesn’t need the constant stimulation screens provide. It trains attention to require flashy input — which harms natural focus and development. He echoes the American Academy of Pediatrics: zero screens under 2, and extreme caution after. The earlier screens start, the more they rewire how a child’s attention and brain work. This isn’t about shaming parents — it’s about protecting the most precious window of brain development. Parents of toddlers: Have you already started screens (even educational ones)? Or are you holding the line as long as possible?
