What does this have to do with Jesus Christ's resurrection?

What does this have to do with Jesus Christ's resurrection? Below is an article about one churches version of a resurrection Sunday service.

Local churches hold quirky Easter services
"It wasn't your average Easter service at Bethel Open Bible Church. Many of the hundreds of people who attended the two services on Sunday were dressed rather informally, and they listened to some ear-splitting rock music, full of guitars, drums and loud amplifiers."

What does this have to do with Jesus Christ's resurrection? NOTHING! This kind of sophomore activity in the name of church should cause us all to grieve. These "new" and so called "improved" worldy churches can't seem to even spend one day a year honoring our Lord and Savior and showing some level of thankfulness for what He did for our sins.

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

As I read more and more about "emerging" "purpose driven" mindsets within "supposed" churches, I see a recurring theme of the Word of God is boring, lifeless and needs the help of a more hip, relevant crowd of forward thinkers. I flucuate between outrage, sadness, and hurt for the way my Lord is being treated these days by some who profess to know Him.

When one describes the Word of God as "dry" and "boring" then I have to ask IF they truly know the God of the Bible, through His Son Jesus Christ. My thoughts are, they do not.

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

When carnal unregenerate man does not have the Holy Spirit within them, then it would be quite logical to look to the world and their ways to make things happen, make things more palatable.

Though they "profess" a faith here is what the Word says

Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Are these going to be a part of the many that will hear the tragic words of Jesus?

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I choose to take that narrow and rugged road with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, rather than skip along the wide road of eternal damnation.

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

You will know them by their fruit

I don't know if I can add much more to this article. It speaks volumns as to the worthless rotten fruit being produced by the so called "new more relevant church"

Churches reach out to hipper flock
This Easter, pop culture will meet religion to get young adults into the seats.


Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Lost Opportunity

This story caught my attention. Pastor answers crucial call

I have chosen to rewrite this post because, I understand that the situation was tense.

Jeff who responded had a valid point, maybe the Pastor in question will go back and lead this young man to Christ and that is my hope and prayer.

I do believe though it was an opportunity lost to share Jesus Christ with a man who obvisously was desperate.

God does love us, but it is through His Son that we are able to recieve that love.


1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
