Resurrection Sunday is NOT Easter

Resurrection Sunday is not Easter. While many think they are just calling Easter something else, those who celebrate Resurrection Sunday would strongly protest if you suggested they were celebrating Easter. Why is that? Because Easter has nothing to do with the Resurrection, no matter what Wikipedia says about it. The word, 'Easter', itself came from the word, 'Eostre', a goddess which has nothing to do with Christianity. Therefore, Easter and Resurrection Sunday are NOT the same thing at all.


Those who celebrate Easter do so with eggs and bunnies. On the other hand, those who celebrate the Resurrection do so with Christ. Christians who celebrate Easter to celebrate the Resurrection, should consider celebrating Resurrection Sunday instead.


Resurrection Sunday is actually linked to the passover. Although many would follow the date of Easter and choose that day to celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the best time to celebrate Good Friday and the Resurrection is always during the passover which do not always coincide with Easter.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

Content with content

YouTube money can be just from ads for content or by selling a product. I strongly advise you to pray about what products or what video content to create because it is a ministry and not just about money. Marketplace is a ministry and we are ministers of God and we minister to God in the marketplace.  What is your calling? You only have one life to live. Time is life. Don't just go where the money is because time can buy money but money can't buy time and time is life. Don't spend your life on money.. money is a servant, which Jesus says to use to buy relationships. We can earn money but by doing what He calls -- seeking His kingdom means focusing your life on your calling and all these wealth will be added unto you. I'm sure you know all that but sometimes we get carried away and start thinking what to promote to get the money in and what is in demand and then we start to get distracted and before we know it, a couple of decades of our lives are gone making worthless v...

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...
