@megbasham Similar to how Jesus reserved his strongest reproaches for the “religious leaders”, not the tax collectors and prostitutes.

OK, let me try to help you out. Russell Moore claims to be a minister of the gospel. And AS a minister of the gospel, he and organizations for which he works have taken money from hard left secular foundations to promote left-wing political priorities in the church. For example, while editor in chief of Christianity Today, the magazine took over $1 million from the largest private abortion funder in the country, the Hewlett foundation. Donald Trump, by contrast, is a secular political leader. While some believe he is a Christian, I personally haven’t seen evidence of this and do not believe this. So not only is he not a minister of the gospel, he is not trying to promote his political priorities through tortured theological claims. Hope that helps you spot the difference!

I was raised with no religion. About a year ago, I ordered a Bible off of Amazon. Started reading 4 pages every day no matter what. My life has changed forever. He is risen.

“The only thing that can silence the shouting voice of judgment is the voice of Jesus’ blood. The blood of the Lamb speaks louder in my defense than my sins can speak against me.” – A. W. Tozer

Just for the record, our President , Secretary Hegseth and General Caine never left the White House all weekend while the intense search and rescue was underway of our downed man. 🇺🇸 This is leadership

Another music tradition on Resurrection Sunday in my family: Don Francisco singing “He’s Alive.” They don’t make music like this anymore!

“Do you feel yourself to be a lost, guilty sinner? Go straightway to the cross, and tell Jesus so.” — Charles Spurgeon

The hardest day isn’t always the day everything falls apart. Sometimes the hardest day is the one after when the noise stops, the dust settles, and it feels like the King is dead in the tomb. That’s Holy Saturday. The cross is finished. The body is buried. The stone is rolled in place. The tomb is sealed. Guards are posted. The religious leaders think they’ve won. The disciples are scattered, hiding in locked rooms, second guessing everything they thought they believed, wondering if it was all for nothing. And the King? He’s silent. No thunder. No angels. No voice from heaven. Just the heavy stillness of a sealed grave. I’ve sat with Christians in seasons that felt exactly like that Saturday. Everything they poured their lives into suddenly looks finished. The dream, the calling, the hope they held onto, all of it sealed behind a stone. The silence settles in, heavy and final, and the temptation is to walk away, to go back to the old life, to decide it was all for nothing. After all, the disciples on Holy Saturday didn’t have the luxury of knowing what Sunday held in store. All they had was the silence and the sealed stone. Some probably thought about going back to fishing. Some probably wondered if they had wasted the last three years of their lives. That’s what Saturday does to a Christian , it tests your faith. But here’s what the King was doing while the tomb stayed silent. He was finishing the work. He was descending into death itself and disarming every power that had held men captive. He was preparing the greatest comeback in history while the world thought the story was over. Holy Saturday is still speaking to every Christian who’s ever stood in that in-between place after the loss, after the failure, after the prayer that seemed to go unanswered. The stone looks sealed. The silence feels final. The enemy posts his guards and laughs. But the King is never defeated in the tomb. If you’re in a Holy Saturday season right now. Marriage in the tomb, dreams sealed behind a stone, hope feeling dead, hear this. The silence is not the end. The sealed stone is not the final word. Sunday is coming. The tomb is quiet today. But the stone is about to roll.

This is a great quote for every day of the year, but especially on Holy Saturday:

"May the Lord set sin straight before your eyes & then set the cross of Christ there. 2 prayers I ask all my hearers to pray—they are very brief: Lord show me myself. Lord show me Thyself. Reveal sin, & reveal a Savior." ~Charles H. Spurgeon

"Tetelestai" is a transactional term which affirms the atonement of Christ. He paid our debt in full. "It is finished!"

"Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ’s wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation." ~Matthew Henry "But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; the punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed."
