 ( once there use control F and search Easter )

 ******************************************************

 It is that time of the year again and we are often asked about or have to confront the holiday so many call 'Easter'. (We reject the phrase.) Since we strive (and we encourage all others) to set their lives to the Lord's Word and not man's traditions that are often very false, lets investigate this topic deeper. Here are some simple questions that need to be answered in the life of a person who claims salvation and truth in Jesus Christ.

1) What does the Word of God tell us about celebrating Easter, if anything at all? 

2) What is the origin of Easter and how was it linked to Christianity?

3) Are the things of Easter true and biblical or false pagan origins?

4) Should it be celebrated at all?

5) What are Christ followers to celebrate and biblically proclaim at this time?
**********************
1) What does the Word of God tell us about Easter, if anything at all?
First off we must tell you that there are NO instructions to practice the celebration of Easter in the Holy scriptures. In fact only one place mentions that term (Easter) and it is in the the King James version see Acts 12:4. Most believe that is an incorrect translation and it should read Passover and not Easter at all. No other translation uses the term Easter and the Hebrew root word pascha means Passover not Easter. So we can say the Word of God does not mention an Easter celebration. None at all.

 Now many will say that it is the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and that is what they are celebrating. Does the bible tell us to or give us examples of those who celebrated the Resurrection of Christ? No, it does not. None of the men that we are told to model and imitate  (like Apostle Paul) practiced Easter or a resurrection event. In fact what does the bible instruct us to proclaim? We will cover that in question number 5.
Why would His people practice a unbiblical pagan false event?

2) What are the origins of Easter? We won't go into a great deal of info here but we will just inform you that if you do some basic research you will find out that deception goes very far back into man's history. The name Easter comes from a pagan way but the truth is vague. (some say goddess Ishtar or goddes Eostre or a old word meaning morning) It matters not as it is all about false ways and paganism and it is not biblical or ordained by God. It was in the 4th century that a pagan roman ruler named Constantine was responsible for linking this pagan way to what the "so called" Christian church at that time was celebrating under his reign. It was instituted to replace the Passover that many of the Christian Jews were holding to and he made it official;  Easter was the new holy day! He was a very unbiblical pagan man himself who added various pagan ways to his paganized roman church. Now ask yourself why would a follower of Jesus Christ who is the Truth... want to link themselves with such a false practice with shady ways? We choose to reject it for the glory and honor of our Holy God. You must seek truth and decide for yourself. Will you do as the pagans and practice their pagan ways?

 3)  So what makes up this Easter celebration today? Many say "well we are marking Christ's Resurrection" but why would you stain and mar a wonderful Holy thing as Christ with these pagan symbols and rituals that resemble the world and damage your witness to the lost?

 *The pagan name Easter ...not a biblical ordained term
*Sunrise Services.... pagan people did this as they worshiped the sun
*Easter eggs ..... these may mark the fertility of the pagan gods
*Rabbits ....again they are known for great fertility / does it involving pagan gods?
*Here is a big one...Sunday is the day of resurrection that is a lie?

 Have you studied this topic for yourself? Millions of people celebrate Sunday when there is evidence that Jesus was resurrected on Saturday not Sunday. Perhaps you say not a big deal but we believe everything related to our Savior and His truth is a big deal indeed. You're free to celebrate on a Sunday but many command / claim that it is now the Lords Day and His Resurrection day... but we reject that. see our post here on that topic:
http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2014/02/sundayis-it-lords-day.html

Jesus did not die on Friday either
https://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2014/04/was-christ-really-crucified-on-good.html
4) Should this Easter event be celebrated at all? Indeed people will celebrate certain days and many will cry out for the "liberty" that scripture talks about for holy days and foods.
Romans 14
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

 Paul was clearly teaching about the Jews and their many Old Testament festivals and foods vs the once pagan Gentiles now entering the Christian body as believers. He was not speaking of adopting pagan holydays at all. So does this liberty mean we can practice pagan holidays and do unbiblical rituals for God's glory? We say no and here is why. There are many examples of false worship in the bible and God hated and often judged those who did incorrect worship. See our detailed post on that here on false worship:
http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2013/12/worship-in-truth-or-with-good-intentions.html

 In this verse a man was destroyed for doing wrong worship:
2 Samuel 6:6-7 
And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.   Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. 

   The Word of God warns His people to not do as the pagans do so we choose to avoid what is both spiritual and pagan for His glory and for obedience to His Word. You must decide for yourself. Are you ok with pagan or at best false ways brought into your body, life and home?

 5) What are Christ followers to celebrate and proclaim biblically at this time? Again we would tell you that none of the saints (we are told to model) practiced or celebrated the Lord's Resurrection/Easter as a holy day. (As stated that was a old pagan holiday brought into the perverted church by a pagan man in the 4th century) So what are we to celebrate and proclaim to be biblical and obedient to the Word of God? While His resurrection is great news what we are to proclaim is .... His death not His resurrection!

 1 Corinthians 11:26 says:
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes”

  In this area of scripture the Lord's Supper (started at Passover by Christ) is being practiced and Paul tells us to proclaim His death only. We see no evidence that they had any resurrection events and no scripture instructs us to make resurrection celebrations. (It was the early pagans who celebrated a false god's resurrection not Christ's people.) We are not told in scripture how often or when to celebrate the Lord's Supper but as often as we do, it is in remembrance of Him and His death.
You may well have the liberty for what holy day you keep; just realize that nowhere in the Word does it give us license to go pagan ways in His name. 

  Remember Jesus was now the Passover lamb to be slain for His people. If you recall, the Israelites in Egypt killed a lamb and put the blood on their doors to be protected from the death angel in the land.  The death angel passed over.... thus the name Passover. Do you see how this all ties in to who He was and what He did for His people? It is a beautiful picture of Him as our Savior and Lord who died to redeem His own. Why would we not want to fully honor Him by avoiding all things pagan and getting the facts correct related to Easter? We would say that it is our duty and joy to walk in His ways and avoid what is NOT of His Word and Ways. We choose to avoid the pagan trappings and to celebrate His death over the Lord's Supper, to proclaim Him to the lost and remember Him till He comes and NOT practice paganism in our home at all. Why would you want to practice paganism before a Holy God? 

Note: 
Good Friday is a lie and Christ did not even resurrection on Sunday.
See this link on that topic that proves it in the Word:
http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2014/04/was-christ-really-crucified-on-good.html
It is a sad fact that many man made denominations will deceive people and keep them caught up in what is error filled and pagan even while doing in in the Lord's name. It must be rejected even if it causes rifts with family, friends, long time traditions and your own religious body.

 We hope this sheds some light on this false pagan time of year called Easter and causes you to think about what you may be swept up in from mans vain and false traditions that Jesus warned about / see Mark 7. Can we remind you that Christ doesn't ask you to celebrate a holiday to show your faith in Him. No, He calls you to holiness and to obedience to Him and His Word in all of your days on earth.
See Romans 12:2 and Hebrews 5:9

 The truth is this: pagan riddled holiday has very little to do with a Holy God when we correctly discern it for all truth using God's Word.

 Go to God's Word and discern for yourself. See our resources below.

Romans 14 Liberty Abused on Christmas and Easter

                                                                               NO


                                 For Man Made Pagan

                         Christmas and Easter!


I was emailed and asked a question about Romans 14 and how it allows for vegetarianism so; doesn't it also allow for liberty on false man made pagan holidays like Christmas and Easter as well?

The answer is NO as those holidays were never ordained by God but by the pagan roman catholics. Jesus said if you keep false man made ways your worship is in vain. Mark 7:6-9

I will answer it all in detail below to edify all the saints....

*************************************************

Romans 14 is know as the liberty chapter as Paul is making the claim that we as followers of Jesus, have certain liberties to do or not do and it is not sinful either way. When we study the Word, we must study in context and pull out the correct truth lest we deceive ourselves. We do not have liberty to do anything God has NOT ordained or that He has forbidden as that makes it sinful. See my answers below with **** by them.

Lets look at this chapter and get to the truth:


14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

******First.. we do see the example of eating meat or NOT eating meat in verse 2. But if we correctly divide the word, we see that both of these things were ordained by God. In the garden mankind was eating just herbs (veggies/fruit) but once mankind fell / death came in... later God also ordained the eating of meat. So either are ok and not pagan or man made or sinful at all per scripture.   

3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

******* The Jews and gentiles were sparing over food (not pagan man made holidays) so either meat or no meat was fine and you had liberty in them both. We have NO liberty to leave an make up our own spiritual false holidays. Who makes days HOLY Man or God? God of course alone so they days are no holy at all and need to be rejected by true saints of God! Only Roman catholics and protestant/evangelical types and those who came out of them keep such things. 

4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

**** Remember in Matt 7 Jesus said to judge rightly but to judge indeed. We are to judge but judging over food is NOT right so we need avoid it. We judge sin.... not liberty issues.  

5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

***** Here we get to esteeming days. This has NOTHING to do with pagan holidays at all but with the holy days / festivals that God ordained for Jews and the Saturday Sabbath. ( read Col 2 were Paul also speaks of these days but NOT pagan days like Christmas and Easter that did not exist at that time anyway)

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

**** Here Paul says both the days and eating is not a problem as they are all of God. But we know that pagan ways are never of Gods true people. See Jeremiah 10 where it says do NOT do as pagans and Christmas and Easter are pagan...  started by roman catholic heretics. God hates lies and they are lies. See Prov 6 / Rev 22:14-15

7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

****** We are the Lords so we can do that which is of the Lord but NOT do that which is of sin and darkness. See 2 Cor 6 where Paul says come out of that and God will receive you. 

9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

***** Again this is not about pagan ways or sin. How do I know? Both Jesus in Matt 18 and Paul 1 Cor 5 / 2 thess 3 says we ARE to judge the body for sin. The judgement Paul speaks of here is about liberty issues NOT sin issues. (pagan man made holidays are sin and not for Gods saints) 

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

******The term stumbling block does not mean sin here. It is something that then causes you to sin. Like wrong judging on liberty food/holyday issues. Paul is saying if a Jewish believer wont eat pork... dont force him to or the gentile believer does not keep sabbath, dont force him to. We know that all sin is to be left and repented of or you have no sacrifice in Christ for it. Read Heb 10:26

14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

****** Here Paul drives it home.... he is talking about the food issues that God gave to Israel. Go see Torah law. Pork and lobster was unclean to them in that time, it is not unclean for gentiles or anyone today unless they choose to not eat it out of conviction. 

15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

****** Again...meat... it is about food where we have liberty in not sinful pagan man made ways God never ordained. 

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

****** Amen Paul! Gods kingdom is all about righteousness. What is right? What God ordained and He did not ordain man made pagan holidays of Christmas and Easter.... the heretical roman catholics did that. So they are unrighteous and to be left for Gods glory. 

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

**** We are made acceptable by our obedience to Christ not by keeping man made traditions. See Hebrews 5:9 that says it also. 

19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

****** The meat is not bad but how it is forced on others is bad. No mention of man made pagan holidays at all. Jesus said if you love him you keep His commands John 14:15 so we do not do pagan man made false ways. How is that being holy in all our ways? 1 Peter 1:15 

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

**** Paul gives us the liberty in these things mentioned. To twist that and extend it to that which God has forbidden, like man made pagan ways is a corrupt way to study the Word and it is adding to the Word. Rev 22 says do not do that or you get wrath and plagues. 

22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

***** So we are to have faith and partake in what is allowed without condemning but we do not do that which is sinfl and not ordained or allowed like pagan man made holidays of Christmas and Easter. . 

23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

******* We are to live by faith and be sure about our convictions on these areas of liberty issues. And what were they? Meat, vegetables, wine and holy days that God ordained. NOT man made pagan false holidays made of man. 

Note: Again I need to add at the time Paul wrote Romans, there was NO Christmas or Easter holiday in the Christian faith. ( that came along from pagan roman catholics centuries later) So how could Paul have been meaning liberty on these false holidays? If you think Paul was approving of false holidays not of the Father, he would have been teaching it is ok to do false traditions that he never established. Here is what he said about traditions: 

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 

2 Thes 2;15 

The truth is these pagan false man made holidays are LIES an God hate lies! 

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 1 John 2:21

If you keep Christmas and Easter you are not obeying what Paul said at all. You are sinfully obeying roman catholic evangelical false man made religion!

I hope this was edifying and shows you what we have liberty on and it is NOT man made pagan false holidays tied to Christ. 

Here is another article about Romans 14 liberty:

Go here to see article that expose Christmas and Easter:

http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/


Sadly, men keep trying to twist Romans 14 to be free to do sin but it cannot be done rightly. When we seek biblical truth, it is easy to see that false pagan man made holidays attached to my Risen Savior are NOT pleasing to the Holy Father! 

Psalm 119:104 "I hate every false way"

Repent and obey the gospel to eternal life!

God be praised

Was Christ Really Crucified on Good Friday?**


Update:
See this link where I am daily "counting down" with facts about the  lie of good Friday and Easter/Resurrection Sunday and challenging ANY MAN to refute it:

***********************************************

Here is another audio on this topic as well:

*****************************************

Is Good Friday (the claimed day Jesus was put on a cross) a biblical truth or just man's tradition? The bible clearly warns God's true people to not be swept up in false ways or man's traditions. (See Mark 7 & and Colossians 2:8) Are you practicing error or are you discerning all things for God's glory? These false holidays deny Christ in the grave 3 days and 3 nights?

All of this matters as Jesus CANNOT be a liar and the perfect Lamb f God Messiah! Ponder that.....
As millions celebrate a pagan based holiday called Easter (that the bible never teaches His people to celebrate. See our article that exposed Easter as pagan here: https://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2014/04/is-easter-biblical-or-pagan.html

They also will partake in what is called Good Friday. (a passed down roman catholic way) It is known for the day Jesus was killed on the cross. But was He really crucified that day? To understand if this day is correct let us go to the Word's of the Savior Himself:

 Here is what Jesus Christ said in Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

 So if Christ was to be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights (many claim He was killed on Good Friday); that would put His resurrection on Monday? But scripture says he was gone before day light Sunday am? This isn't correct is it?

 If we walk this through it, it does not take a bible scholar to get the solution.

 He said it would be 3 days and 3 nights ( 72 hours) before He would rise again correct? So how does being killed on Friday eve work out to be those 3 days and 3 nights by Sunday am that most say He was resurrected on? The answer is clear; it does not work out unless Jesus was a false Prophet and we know that isn't true. 

Even if you try to use reckoning (part of days and nights as most claim) you only get 2 nights and 2 days:

Friday day ... Friday night, Saturday day and Saturday night....then he is gone before Sunday light per scripture..... 

Even their false reckoning of days makes Jesus a liar!

So what is the answer of the day He was really killed/crucified?
How can we know? By going to the Word of course.

 The scriptures can tell us the truth and we can determine a correct timeline that does not match what most all men in denominational religion practice today as being Good Friday. By looking at the Jewish holiday at that time, it is believed by many that the Sabbath of that annual high Sabbath week was Thursday. Then Saturday was the traditional Sabbath. Most people get confused by using the weekly Saturday Sabbath for his death. Now we know He was not killed on Thursday the High Sabbath. We can know this by the fact they did not want bodies on crosses during that high annual Sabbath day (Thursday) from this scripture. Also Thursday lacks meeting three days and three nights Jesus sad he would be in the grave. Here is what we read about the crucifixion details in the book of John.
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day)
John 19:31

 So if it was not Friday and it could not have been Thursday that he was crucified; this leaves us with Wednesday next. But does this fit the timeline of scripture?
 
 Wednesday eve to Saturday eve is indeed 3 days and 3 nights... is it not? 

 By using the time line given to us in God's Holy Word it seems clear that Christ was crucified on a Wednesday; the day before the high Sabbath on Thursday. He was then placed in the tomb where as He told us the Lord would remain for 3 days and 3 nights. He was gone before they arrived very early on Sunday morning.
In John 20:1 we read this:
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.

 Why was Mary going to the tomb? It would seem the annual Sabbath week was then over and she was there very early Sunday am. If you walk through that timeline; this places His resurrection on Saturday and NOT Sunday as so many claim and practice today. Why you may ask? Because if Christ goes into the grave until Sunday to be resurrected;  that makes Him there 4 days not 3 days and our Savior is not a liar is He? He is our Sabbath rest per Hebrews 4.... 

More proof of two Sabbath days lies in these verses:

Mark 16:1

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 
 
Mark says they bought the spices after the Sabbath past 

But.....

Luke 23:55 and 56

And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

So Mark has then buying spices AFTER the sabbath but Luke says they prepared the spices then rested on the Sabbath.
(this further proves there was two Sabbath days that week .)

 Many will argue this information but if you have a different result please let us know? This examination we can seemingly see that not only is Good Friday a "lie" for His crucifixion day but it appears the claimed "Sunday resurrection" could also be a lie as it had to be a Saturday resurrection. Again; this seems to make perfect sense as that was the traditional Jewish Sabbath and He was Risen on that day to became our Eternal Rest (Sabbath) for all who believe in Him. (see Hebrews 4)

His plan is so awesome is it not?

 It is hard to believe that so many for so long (including us) were told lies and fooled by the man made denominational religious system and the leaders of the day. But it is no surprise because they lie about many weekly practices don't they? This Easter deception started way back in the 4th century when a pagan roman ruler named Constantine began to further pervert the Christian church by making Sunday (a day on which the pagans worshiped the sun) "the" set day of gathering thus replacing the Saturday Sabbath many were still holding to from the Old Testament teachings. Good Friday came along later at the hands of the same murderous heretical roman catholics as well. As we have seen; these practices leave the truth of God's Word and we are warned to NOT practice lies in His Holy Word.

Mark 7

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22:14-15

Good friday and resurrection Sunday are LIES!
If you don't believe that biblical error in worship matters to God; see this article as it does mater to Him:
https://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2013/12/worship-in-truth-or-with-good-intentions.html

Having said all of that; we actually believe that knowing the "exact date" is meaningless as we are NOT called to mark or celebrate these days at all. The simple fact is that the bible does not tell His own to celebrate Easter or an incorrect Good Friday. These are just false traditions of man and we encourage you to leave them, for His honor. We would agree you are free to make any day your gathering day (Romans 14) but keep in mind... we are "never" told to, allowed to or instructed to keep pagan ways or to ever practice ANY lies in His name. (esp those who make Jesus a liar!) Easter and Good Friday are lies promoted and practiced by man made false religion. This should matter to anyone who is truly His disciple.
See our link HERE for many more errors of denominational faiths: 

 Go here to see a article why Sunday is NOT the Lords day either:
http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2014/02/sundayis-it-lords-day.html

 Here is a most important part of this topic.................

 The bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 11 to proclaim His death (not His resurrection) through the Lord's Supper till He comes. There is no set holy day for this Easter / Good Friday event and we are to do the Lord's Supper and as often as we do it to remember Him. 

What will you "do" in His name this year? 

So much of what people are doing today in American Christianity has many false ways and pagan connections not of God.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2 Corinthians 6:17

 Don't you want to honor God and better for your faith life if you are truly born again in Him and serving a Loving, Holy and Perfect God? Will you walk in His spirit and truth for your daily worship (John 4:24) or will you sit in error (man's pews) and vain traditions of today's religious systems that have left His truth long ago? (Matt 15)

 Are you practicing biblical truth or error?

 If you are not born in Him today repent.....  and see all our biblical resources below to help you:

***********************************************************

April 8 2023

It was another van life rainy cold day with mist and clouds up in the hills. We do not mind it though as we have learned in this nomad life to take each day in thankfulness, no matter what comes. Plus I have found my hot coffee tastes extra good on those chilly mornings.


No this is not our van but.... it looks home does it not?


I took a witnessing walk and I saw this sign in a business and thought it is a very nice gesture of them. But I need to add that without giving someone the gospel to eternal life as well I would ask; have you really loved them as a neighbor? I would say no so we travel to preach it to everyone! 


I saw this evil sign on the Mexican restaurant with a note saying; Happy Easter 


  Then they also had these on the glass window showing that Easter is just a thing to them and it is quite meaningless really which most people are guilty of these days. 


I saw this nice little park area in the midst of busy places around it.  That reminded me how Jesus and the disciples went to such places to get away and re-create themselves in the Spirit and we should as well. 



As I walked I saw this pole and beam. Since it is pagan Easter time many lift up the cross this time of year. But the truth is Jesus did not die on a cross but on a tree. Why? Because the word cross means a stake/tree in Greek and He became a curse for us per Paul in Galatians and cursed is the one who hangs on a tree it says in the OT Word. See my teaching blog article on that here:


Does sister Aman feed me good or what? That is veggie no meat on those tacos and I am prepared to share always.......


I got to set up and work inside a bit today as that is a many days of rain practice and the gospel always go out in such places


Here are two articles for this time of year:

 Good Friday that is a lie

Easter is Pagan

A store we often park at has old things under their roof and it makes me think of my youth growing up on a homestead/farm with all kinds of tools and such


                         Jesus is the BREAD of Life amen?

Good day in the Lord to my sister saints!

Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. [5] As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel. 

Psalm 125:4-5 

I just read that Psalm in the audio bible reading for women HERE and then did 2 Corinthians 8 reading HERE.  



That Psalm I posted above made me think of things that I shared on a Sisters Sharing audio HERE. 


It's been raining yesterday and today and I enjoy walking in it so I took you along this morning.  Here's a lil clip of the video but you can see the whole thing HERE and below is what I see looking out the window as I type this post. 


I made another scripture picture slide show of God's creation with Psalm 116 HERE.   God's word and His creation together, well He created it all with His word so they do go together don't they!?


So pretty when it's all wet from the rain.  I talked about the cycles God has set up, in the sister sharing audio. I love to think about that and hey, there's nothing new under the sun either! God created it all and is in charge of it all!


I've been making progress on the skirt waist bands and plan to do more, hopefully to finish in the next few days or sooner but let's see:)  Takes a lot longer hand sewing than with a machine but I'm thankful to have hands to do it and eyes to see, even though it's getting harder to see to thread that needle lol.  I'm thankful and content with it all.



I cooked up that asparagus from yesterday for our lunch.  Brother Tupos appreciates rice, which I'm glad for cuz it's super inexpensive and easy to prepare and the left overs keep for a few days. I'd gladly share with any sisters or brothers!


Hey did I ever share this?  I can't remember but if I did, you get to see it again!  A sister, who's a little bit older than me, shared it, the expiration is 2/28/95.  28 years ago!  I remember being 28 and not even comprehending what it would be like to be 54, almost 55 soon.  Time goes by so fast, let us make sure we redeem it all for the Lord for He is worthy.  

Since starting my part of this journal, we have moved to our parking spot for the night and we made a video to share with you...


For sisters who are homeschooling and raising children in the admonition of the Lord...can I give you some great encouragement and praise????


Things like that won't happen very often and it won't be long....


...they ultimately will win.  The opposers say the bill is mean, but those pushing it are trying to keep the power in the parents hands and out of the children's and teachers. Satan is coming after everyone, especially the youth.  Protect them, guard them and keep them unspotted from the world sisters!  Don't fall for the 'they gotta have fun and friends'.  NO!  THEY GOTTA HAVE THE TRUTH!!!!!  And how do they get that truth? By you keeping them in the ways of the Lord, not the world.  Good job sisters, remember how dark it is when you get tired and worn down doing it all, look up, look to the Lord, look to what He has done, look to what is ahead of us and set that path for those precious children!!!!!
(No I'm not political but this was shared and it turned out to be a good teaching for sisters who are parents.) 

I love you sisters, all of you, all over the world and hope you all are striving on, seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.  Thank you for all of you that care to share as it's encouraging.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 
Hebrews 3:13

Our night parking spot with a few distant neighbors


The day was very good and I had special moment meeting a handicapped man that touched my heart. I will share it in my verse by verse teaching soon. We say good bye to another day as we speed towards eternity. As I do ministry I often marvel how so few are getting themselves ready for that day as it approaches. This van life has helped us to clean house and focus on the kingdom of God. I hope that is your goal as well as we care for your souls. Repent and obey the gospel to find eternal life to come!

Peace to you....

Brother Tupos with sister Aman
