Thank you Yuri for this post. Ever since the plannedemic I have not attended my Christian church. I havent fallen away or anything like that, I just dont feel a connection anymore. I still feel connected to Christ but in a more personal way. I believe with all my heart we are living in the end times as written in the Bible. Now is the time to start reading your Bible. If this is new for you may I suggest starting with the Gospel of John. It is in my view the most personal Gospel. Happy Easter everyone Ill leave you with this, " You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have". Blessings ; )
Reading The Word each morning is essential. Highly recommend The Jesus Bible. Much easier and deeper to experience the OT, with notes, analysis, commentaries and context to frame and tie it all to the life of Jesus. Also thoroughly enjoyed reading The Leadership Bible front-to-back several times before gifting it to my son when he left home. Happy Easter to all.
This is full on Spiritual Warfare my friend. We are being attacked by all these corrupt institutions and their minions that have ALL sold their souls to the devil. May God have mercy on the rest of us.
Jordan Peterson’a lecture series “the psychological significance of the Bible” is an amazing resource which brought me back to religion (I had never left my belief in God). Had the Bible been explained in that fashion when I was a teen I don’t think I would’ve never turned away. It is worth checking out.
Yuri, that was a wonderful post! It is incredible that Billy Graham's words can still reach people so deeply today. Your story reminded me of the experience of Louis Zamperini whose war-time account is recorded in the book "Unbroken". The book was made into a movie by Angelina Jolie, who presented Louis as an example of the 'unbreakable human spirit'. However, what she glaringly left out, was that after the war Louis was desperately depressed, lost in alcohol, and consumed with murderous revenge. He was utterly broken. What saved him was Billy Graham. In 1949 Graham arrived in L.A. and packed over ten thousand people in his tent every night, preaching for several hours a day, seven days a week.
Louis head his sermons and remembered his promise to God while he was near death, drifting in a life raft on the Pacific ocean: "if you will save me I will serve you forever". He broke down, and came to God who made him whole again:
"When he thought of his history, what resonated with him now was not all that he had suffered (lost at sea for months and in Japanese concentration camps), but the divine love that he believed had intervened to save him. He was not the worthless, broken, forsaken man that his Japanese torturer had striven to make of him. In a single, silent moment, his rage, his fear, his humiliation and helplessness, had fallen away. That morning he believed, he was a new creation."
What a glorious Easter post
Thank you Yuri.
The Lord is Risen!
He is risen, indeed!

Yuri, how sad is it that we find it better to watch a TV preacher than attend a demoralized church? Every Sunday is a trial....
Oh, yes, transphobes are everywhere. So we (trans) need to go into a school and shoot up a bunch of little kids. That'll show them!
May i recommend Eastern Orthodox church?
Near me, Eastern Orthodoxy is vibrant and thriving whilst other churches appear to be dying.
HE IS RISEN INDEED!

God bless you, comrade 🧺⛪✝️🕍🥚
I wish all who celebrate a Happy Easter. Some people very dear to me take great joy in this day.
I've always enjoyed this description of Jesus: A nice Jewish boy who went into his father's business.
We went from gender dysphoria to gender dystopia
Good example of demonic possession.
