Cadbury vs. Peeps

The Easter of the Bible definitely doesn't have anything to do with Cadbury Eggs and Marshmallow Peeps. To many folks its another holiday to exploit and commercialize. Check out this parody of an emergency meeting at the Cadbury Egg Company.

Featured Quotes

"Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him, and the more deeply he becomes involved in it, the more disastrous is his isolation. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person"
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What's the Meaning and Purpose of Manhood? 
The quest for true manhood ultimately drives us to the cross of Jesus Christ. We run to Jesus not just as the ultimate example of what a man looks like, but more importantly as our Savior.

Here's the bottom line: As a man, I don't just need to be rescued from the pressures, deficiencies, prejudices, and imbalances of the surrounding culture. No, I need to be rescued from my sin-from myself.

It is humbling to note that the greatest danger to any man exist inside of him, not outside of him. Sin makes me willing to be less than the man God designed me to be, and for that, I need forgiveness and transforming grace.

The next generation of men need may need to be challenged to be real men. But more than anything, they need to be introduced to the Savior who alone can make that possible. READ MORE 
The Masculine Voice in the Life of Your Children
When a boy realizes that he is other than his mother (his body is different and she Dad and Kids acknowledges that he is different), who is it that tells him who he is, what he is to do, what he will become? His father. The father, the masculine voice, acts to inform, equip, instruct and model...

The masculine voice is received as a voice that speaks unchanging truth. Just as we think of the Word of God being truth that is unchanging, so a man's words speak to what he knows to be true. READ MORE

A Hymn for Easter to Remind Us of Jesus' Finished Work
A couple of years ago when my wife Susan and I visited London we made it a point to go to the church once pastored by Augustus Toplady. Today Toplady is best remembered for writing one of the world's best known and most sung hymns...Rock of Ages. He wrote it while sheltering himself from a violent thunderstorm. As we approach Good Friday and Easter Sunday, it seems to me that Toplady's hymn well captures our helpless state and what Jesus Christ did to rescue from it.

  

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.

  

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.

  

While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

  

Happy Easter Brothers!
