The origins of Easter are often debated, with some claiming it's a pagan holiday. However, the name Easter is likely derived from the Old High German word iostarum, meaning dawn, and has no direct connection to the pagan goddess Eostara. The celebration of Easter, including traditions like decorating eggs and associating rabbits with the holiday, are much more recent and have Christian roots. [... more]

This cultural shift is seen as a key factor in the condemnation of horrific treatment of women and children, as revealed in the Epstein files. The abandonment of Christian morality is feared to lead to a return to pagan norms, where underage sex slaves and exploitation were normalized. [... more]

The Consequences of a Romans 1 Worldview

The worship of nature and the elevation of man are central themes in modern paganism, as seen in events like Burning Man, where people seek spiritual experiences and connection with the natural world.

Hanukkah, Christmas, & Krampus, Part 4

The miracle of Hanukkah serves as a warning to Christians about the dangers of political liberalism and evangelistic inclusivism, while the secularization of Christmas and its demonization by a new generation of atheists is a threat to the gospel truth. The introduction of Krampus, a two-horned half-goat demon, as a substitute for Santa Claus is a sinister development that glorifies Satan and advances his agenda. [... more]

Is Christmas a Pagan Holiday?

Christmas is rooted in Scripture and has always been about Christ, with the accounts of Jesus' birth in Matthew and Luke written in the first century. The date of Christmas may not have been chosen to coincide with pagan festivals, but rather calculated as Jesus' birthday based on the date of his conception and death. Christians can adopt and redeem some pagan traditions, such as decorated trees and yule logs, as long as they don't distract from the true meaning of Christmas. [... more]

The Exile

The pattern of biblical history shows that when people play around with worship, the church falls apart. The renewal of faith begins with a renewal of worship, but even great reformations like Josiah's are short-lived. The Babylonian exile is a significant crisis in Old Testament history, and the Jewish people were carried away as slaves, with Daniel and Ezekiel among those captured. [... more]
