EASTER.

After meeting a guy with the same name, and reading his blog i stumbled across a post about how some Christian publishers deem the Crucifiction too horrific for kids. You can read the ARTICLE and make your own assessments, but i think the article proves a good point.

Its for reasons such as this, that nobody takes Christians serious anymore. The fire and the tenacity of Christianity is losing its power in the name of pleasing people. Look at the early Christians who were stoned (with rocks, not drugs), beaten, and persecuted for what they believe. Jesus himself spoke to what people needed to hear, not what they wanted to hear. Its LAME that Christians themselves, knowing the urgency of the times and and need for real Truth skate around the facts, and miss an opportunity to plant seeds into young peoples lives. The gospel IS too horrific for everyone, but yet it is a necessary horror. One that Christians need to embrace daily, not just one Sunday in March.

I guess it is easier to celebrate easter bunnies hiding eggs than it is to celebrate the crux of our faith. The only hope that we have. The reason we have the hope of going to heaven because Jesus gave his life in order that we might know what REAL LIFE IS.
