📖 ARTICLE: HAPPY EASTER – David Conley
It is true that Easter was originally a pagan holiday named after Eastra, the goddess of spring.
Sacrifices were offered each spring in her honor.
At the same time, the Jews celebrated Passover, commemorating God’s deliverance from Egypt.
Jesus celebrated Passover the night He instituted the Lord’s Supper — a memorial of His death and resurrection.
Jesus rose from the grave on the Sunday following Passover.
Christians are instructed to remember His sacrifice every Sunday: Acts 20:7 (NKJV)
When Christianity spread during the Roman Empire, Easter traditions were adapted into a so-called Christian celebration.
In Acts 12:4, the word “Easter” appears in the KJV, though most translations correctly say “Passover.”
God requires Christians to remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus every Sunday through the Lord’s Supper.
Romans 6:4–5 explains how baptism reflects Christ’s death and resurrection.
The writer concludes:
While the world remembers Jesus once a year, Christians remember Him every Sunday.
Editor’s Note: Easter and Christmas are not authorized by Scripture but are man-made traditions.

Scripture Writing Plans for the Whole Year — March
What is the purpose of scripture writing? Spending just ten minutes each day writing and meditating on scripture can help you retain both the passage and its meaning. Scripture writing is a simple yet powerful practice that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and strengthens your spiritual walk.
This March Scripture Writing Plan focuses on the theme of “Trust in God.”
Special thanks to Corey Schissler for sharing scripture writing.
For those interested in using a special journal for daily scripture writing, Amazon offers a variety of options, including hardbound, spiral-bound, and paperback journals specifically designed for scripture journaling.
From Robert Harper for your consideration…
Questions to ask before marriage. Take the time to evaluate character.
How do you handle disappointment? How do you handle correction? What is your relationship like with your parents? Who are your friends? Do you read your Bible and do you apply it? You go to church on Sunday but how do you act during the week? Why did your last relationship end and what did you learn about yourself? Do you believe in working? Are you lazy? Have you ever done anything illegal, if so, do you plan on doing it again? How do you act when you get mad … do you get loud, shut down, walk away, do you throw things? Do you clean up? Are you messy? And let’s be honest, how’s your relationship with soap and water? I need to know.
Marriage is indeed a big deal.
Me reading the Bible (From Robert Harper)
Me: Wow Me: Ok wowow Me: Wait what?! Me: Ohhhhh I get it now! Me: Highlight highlight highlight Me: …oh so that’s where this verse is Me: Underline Me: SOOOO GOOOD Me: You’re amazing, God! Me: Cries for the next half an hour
ANNIHILATION
Does the Bible Teach the Idea of Annihilation of the Wicked?
The doctrine of “annihilation” is the idea that eventually, after a sufficient period of punishment, the souls of the wicked will go out of existence. This dogma is without biblical support.
The punishment of those who die estranged from God is described as: “fire unquenchable” (Mt. 3:12). Final punishment is a state where “their worm dies not,” and the “fire is not quenched” (Mk. 9:48). The wrath of God “abides” (present tense — keeps on abiding) on the lost person (Jn. 3:36).
Various figures are employed in connection with the words “forever” or “everlasting” (e.g., chains, contempt, destruction, torment; see Dan. 12:2; Mt. 18:8; 25:41, 46; 2 Thes. 1:9; Jude 6-7; Rev. 14:11; 19:3; 20:10). It is not the mere effect of punishment that is eternal, but the actual punishment itself (Mt. 25:46).
