Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.
Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.
Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.
The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.
The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.
Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.
Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.
He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.
This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.
Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.
This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.
Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.
These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.
At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.
What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.
Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.
Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.
Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.
A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.
He suffered for 6 hours.
His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.
His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.
His heart was struggling to pump blood.
He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.
His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.
And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.
He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.
HE DID IT ALL FOR US.
To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.
Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.
And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.
For us.

They know I'm coming and when I get to DC, I'm bringing The People with me. If Minnesota Republicans are silly enough to vote for the same, soft, sellouts that have been running things... don't look to the rest of the country for sympathy. How did a kid (Nick Shirley) with a camera uncover more fraud than 4 US Congress members, the entire state house and senate? Everybody is too busy pretending to be politicians but they're really puppets. Can you see their strings? There are no strings on me.

If you believe men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms and to undress in your daughter’s or granddaughter’s locker room, then you should vote Democrat. Over 130 Democrats in the House and Senate signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to support biological males in women’s sports. This is sick. If it turns your stomach, beware. It seems that most Democrats in Washington are buying into these lies. With many, it’s not about what is right or wrong, it’s about power—and they will sell their souls for power. I’m not a Republican or a Democrat—no party has my loyalty. I’m going to vote for the platform that best supports American and Biblical values. Men in women’s sports and restrooms is perverted. Pray that God will guide the hearts of the Supreme Court justices to do the right thing as they deliberate this issue in just a couple of weeks. foxnews.com/sports/over-13…

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, please hear my words.
We are living in the last seconds before eternity gets here, and Jesus Christ saves you from hell.
He paid for your sins so that you can spend eternity in the presence of God.
I pray in Jesus name that this video will be sent to those who need to see and hear it, and that everyone who watches it will be blessed in Jesus name.

Preparing to prepare today’s radio/podcast. Psalms have been speaking to me lately. I feel so lost sometimes. Life is constant change and it seems so easy to slip behind the wave. “Then I said, “here I am, I have come - it is written about me in the scroll. I desire to do your will my God. Your law is within my heart.”

Just got out of church for the first time in 20 years. Prior to that I had been to church maybe 2 or 3 times. Here are my initial thoughts:
-Church music makes me cry
-Lessons taught in church are applicable to everyone and everything
-I need to read an easier bible than KJV before I understand any of this well
-Christians are kind, gracious, polite, and sane
-America needs this now more than ever
I will share more once I’ve had time to digest this experience

I'll be honest, I've been struggling with the Christian concept of "resurrection" for awhile.
I've talked about this with a few people.
I put that in the “beautiful story” box of Christianity, something I wanted to believe, but just couldn't.
I've loved Church, the community, the moral teachings, the concepts of love, kindness, generosity. Those are the reasons we decided to go back.
But my goodness... I have STRUGGLED with believing the Gospel story.
Rising from the dead?
I don't know, it was something I just haven't been able to get past.
Until today.
I just got past it.
Not blindly, I'm not covering my eyes and running.
But I am trusting that I cannot see, not a blind faith, but a compelling one.
Faith that looks at the hunger for justice I have wired into me and says, “That didn’t come from nowhere.”
Faith doesn’t ask me to ignore reality; but rather demands I face ALL OF IT, in it's most terrifying forms ...and still step forward.
So if I do not have the Resurrection, I have nothing.
No justice, no reunion, and the story ends...
...and today, I just refuse to believe the story ends there

Confession with a mission....
Confession...
I am nearing 50 years old. I have been a Christian for 5-6 years. I have never been the tool that God used to bring someone to Christ (to my knowledge). I have witnessed to folks on the street. I have told friends of my salvation and about the amazing things God has done.
but....I have never been used by God to bring another soul into the fold.
Mission...
God is in control of salvation and I have no say over who He elects but, my mission from this point forward is to seek for, and speak boldly to souls that need to hear the gospel.
Some of you may say "dude you were commanded to do this before" To you I say, you're right, I was. Pray for me to be more obedient in my daily walk.
