52.000 cristianos han sido asesinados en Nigeria por islamistas. Ni una palabra de los medios internacionales. Ni una palabra de la ONU. Ni una sola palabra de los influencers pro-palestinos en Occidente. Esto es un verdadero genocidio. Su silencio es ensordecedor.

Man In Critical Condition After Hearing Slightly Differing Viewpoint buff.ly/31qhQDM

Egyptian Copt Christian explains how Egypt became Muslim: “We are one of the first Christians in the world. Islam took over by the sword. They killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children. Egypt went from 0% to 90% Muslim. It’s a cult of sex, perversion and violence.”

@KevinCarson That is interesting, Might write about it! CH

“A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G. K. Chesterton

““Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24 NASB1995 bible.com/bible/100/jhn.…

Christian astronaut pilots first moon mission in 53 years Victor Glover, NASA Artemis II astronaut, made some remarkable statements in a pre-Easter interview from the Orion space capsule. He cites "the beauty of creation" and says “When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…” and then says we were "created." Glover then says that Earth is an "amazing place" and Earth "was created to give us a place to live in the universe". He goes on to say "You are special. In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together." Link to the video below.

The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to your father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity. -Ben Franklin

“A belief in Jesus Christ is the very fountainhead of everything that is desirable and praiseworthy in our civilization, and this civilization is the flower of time.” – Theodore Roosevelt Happy Sunday

He is risen! He is risen indeed! Happy Easter from all of us at RTS as we celebrate the joy and hope of Christ’s resurrection.

He is Risen! He is risen, Indeed! “And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.” Mark 16:6 KJV bible.com/bible/1/mrk.16…

"God forbid that I travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them." –George Whitfield

Saw the movie A Great Awakening last night and it was really good. It was particularly accurate in presenting the history and the gospel. Go see it soon while it is in theaters. Sight and sound has done a great job!

Astronaut Victor Glover delivers beautiful Easter message from space, praises God’s creation. “When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…” “You're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos.” “In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together…”

G. K. Chesterton on why you should read books: “A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

Victor Glover failed an engineering class his sophomore year of college. His dad talked him out of joining the Navy SEALs and told him an engineering degree and pilot wings might make him an astronaut someday. Right now Glover is somewhere between the Earth and the Moon. He grew up in Pomona, California. Played quarterback in high school, wrestled well enough to place sixth at the state championship, won Athlete of the Year. Went to Cal Poly for engineering and played both sports at the college level. He got his Navy wings in 2001 and started flying F/A-18 fighter jets off aircraft carriers. His squadron deployed on the USS John F. Kennedy to fight in Iraq, the carrier’s final deployment ever. Twenty-four combat missions. His commanding officer gave him the callsign “Ike,” short for “I Know Everything.” He became a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base and over his career flew more than 40 types of aircraft, 3,000 hours in the air, everything from a Korean War-era Soviet MiG-15 to the Goodyear blimp. More than 400 landings on a moving carrier deck. He earned three master’s degrees in three years. He once told Cal Poly’s president that the hardest thing he ever chose to do was walk in space. The second hardest was wrestling practice. He applied to NASA in 2009 and got rejected. Applied again in 2013 while working in the U.S. Senate for John McCain. NASA’s head of flight crew operations called him. He missed the call. Frantically dialed back. Eight people got in that year out of more than 6,000 applicants. NASA put him in the pilot seat for the first operational SpaceX Crew Dragon flight in 2020. He spent 168 days on the International Space Station and walked in space four times. Last June he went back to Cal Poly to accept an honorary doctorate. His wife Dionna and their oldest daughter Genesis both walked across the stage at the same ceremony to pick up their own degrees. Three days ago Glover launched from Kennedy Space Center. The crew will fly past the far side of the Moon on Monday and travel about 252,000 miles from home, breaking a distance record that Apollo 13 set fifty-six years ago. They come back at roughly 25,000 mph. He has four daughters. His callsign is still Ike.

On Saturday, total silence. It reminds us that God is still at work — even in silence.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "I'm proud to join with Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all of time: The resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." "To be a great nation, you must have religion — and you must have God. In churches across the nation on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger, and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years." "Happy Easter to all, may God bless you, may God bless the United States of America."
