Let me be honest. I wanted to stay Muslim so badly.

Not even because of God at first, but because of the life attached to it.

My dad’s businesses were waiting for me. Signed and ready.

My mom’s community. Doctors, lawyers, politicians. Connections everywhere.

Success was laid out in front of me.

There was even an arranged marriage lined up. A doctor. Beautiful future. House. Wedding. Stability.

All I had to do was say one sentence:

“Yeah, I still believe.”

That was it.

Keep the money.
Keep the family approval.
Keep the life.

But here’s what ruined it for me:

I could not unsee Jesus.

Once I really read the Quran and compared it to the Gospel, I couldn’t force myself back into pretending.

And honestly, knowledge becomes heavy at that point.

Because I didn’t leave Islam to rebel.

I left because I could not betray what I believed was true.

No business opportunity, no relationship, no comfortable future was worth denying the King who gave His life for me.

So yeah, my life would have been easier if I stayed.

But when Jesus says, “I am the way,” you don’t answer with, “But the other path feels safer.”

You pick up your cross and walk.

Too many Black churches shout ‘Jesus is Lord’ on Sunday… then vote for abortion, chemical castration of kids, and attacks on religious liberty on Tuesday.
They’re not following Scripture — they’re following the Democrat platform.

When will the Black Church vote the Bible instead of Satan’s agenda?

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The Quran actually mashes a bunch of MAJOR stories together. For example, Saul and Gideon, it straight up remixes the biblical account and then calls it “New Revelation.”

In 1 Samuel, Saul is chosen as Israel’s king. He’s tall, strong, and anointed by Samuel.

In Judges 7, Gideon is the one who tests his army by the water. Those who lap like dogs are cut, those who drink properly stay.

Two different leaders. Two different times in history.

But in Surah 2:246–252, the Quran gives that water test to Saul.

That’s like saying George Washington crossed the Atlantic Ocean to discover America in 1492.

Totally different people. Totally different events.

But the Quran fuses them into one blended story.

Why is nobody talking about this?

That’s not Revelation—that’s confusion.

The details are undeniably the same, and it’s undeniably a mix-up.

And here’s what hit me:

As a Muslim reading the Bible, I realized something.

The Bible is laser precise with names, places, and timelines, because God actually moved in real history.

But the Quran feels like someone overheard Jewish and Christian stories, mashed them together, and turned them into a moral lesson.

And if the book I was reading can’t keep Saul and Gideon straight, how could I trust it with my eternity?

The God of Scripture doesn’t blur history.

He writes it in detail, and every story points forward.

The entire Old Testament is a witness to the coming of Christ. And that’s why I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.

@newcarlton @MarioNawfal Something cannot be made of everything and also be the source of everything. It is self contradicting. Something can be the creator and something can be the created.

This assumes created things had a beginning and are not eternal. Like the universe.

created not equal creator.

[Wendell @wendelltalks]

The culture doesn’t actually want “tolerance.”

It wants silence.

Just look at what happened to Paige Rogers, a 19-year-old Christian college student in Louisville, Kentucky.

She was working at Heine Brothers Coffee. Two co-workers asked her questions about her faith. Questions specifically about marriage and sexuality.

She didn’t start the conversation. She didn’t preach. She simply answered honestly and respectfully, sharing what Scripture says.

Twelve days later she was fired by text message.

No warning. No conversation. Just terminated for voicing biblical truth when she was invited to do so.

Events like this is why so many Christians fear speaking about their faith at work.

The culture is fine with a watered-down Christianity that does not challenge the idols of the day.

It preaches “tolerance” while demanding total silence from anyone who dares to speak biblical truth, even when they’re asked.

Paige’s story is a warning, but it’s also a witness. In a world that rewards compromise and punishes conviction, true faith doesn’t fold. It stands.

And that kind of courage is exactly what our culture fears most.

Men who fear God create good times.

Good times produce men who forget God.

Godless men produce terrible times.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.”

At the same time, I felt a deep envy.

Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses.

In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak.

The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference.

One side risks everything to save their own.
The other sacrifices their own to stay in power.

This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

Astronaut Victor Glover delivers beautiful Easter message from space, praises God’s creation.

“When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…”

“You're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos.”

“In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together…”

Happy Easter from our family to yours!

[Dr. Kat Lindley @DrKatLindley]

This was not written by me, but it touched me deeply…
Sunday is coming.

“He received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man. They wanted him alive. They held handfuls of his beard, and hair and pulled it out by the roots. They wanted him alive. They kicked, punched, and spit on him for hours. Until there wasn't a single spot on his body not covered in blood. They wanted him alive.

They shoved a crown of thorns down on his head so harshly it stuck in his skin. They wanted him alive. After hours of being beaten, mocked, whipped, flogged, and tortured they made him walk with a cross. They made him carry it. A rough piece of wood with splinters digging into fresh wounds. They wanted him alive.

They wanted him to feel every ounce of pain they could bring. He had to feel it in order to heal us. Crucifixion was historically one of the cruelest most tortured deaths a human could face. Hours upon hours of torture. Torture most of us can not mentally think of because the cruelty isn't normal. It isn't something our minds can comprehend. We celebrate Easter with pastel colors, happy children hunting eggs, and chocolate. Truth is there was absolutely nothing happy about the day Jesus died. It was cruel, bloody, and nasty.

He could have stopped all of it. He could have called every angel in heaven to demolish every person standing and shouting "Crucify Him!" He didn't. He knew in order to have a Sunday you have to have a Friday. He knew in order to have joy you have to carry your cross. He felt everything that day. He felt how your heart broke wide open when you had to watch your baby die. He felt how heavy your life was when you were staring down the barrel of a gun wondering if the man you called husband was going to shoot you. He carried the weight of the burden you have felt since your spouse died, and life just doesn't seem right since.

On that cross he held the rapist and murderers, the sinner and the saint. He leveled every playing field and said ALL of you are worth it. He knew he had to carry the cross. He never promised the cross you carry in this life would not be heavy. His wasn't. His promise is that Sunday is coming.

No matter how heavy Friday is. Financially, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Friday is heavy. That cross is weighing you down and you are about to crumble under its weight. His promise was simply this. He won't make you carry it alone. What kind of king would step down from his throne for this?

Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God did. For you. He did every bit of it for you and me. Oh yes, it is heavy. So heavy sometimes you do not think you can take one more step. But look up, because Sunday is coming.”

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Today is Good Friday.

Thank you, Jesus for your amazing and unthinkable sacrifice. You died so that we would have life, and life in abundance.

“It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews … With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, ‘Surely this man was the Son of God!’”

Mark 15

Last week, I heard my son being disrespectful to my wife upstairs at bedtime.

I didn't yell up the stairs. I didn't rush up.

I just started walking. Slowly.

Our stairs creak. Loud.

Step. Creak.
Step. Creak.
Step. Creak.

My son went silent.

I heard my wife: "You hear your father coming, so you stopped, didn't you?"

No response.

I reached his room. Looked him in the eye.

"You will not be disrespectful to your mother. Apologize. Right now. And don't ever do it again."

He apologized. I walked out.

---

That's all it took.

But here's the lesson every dad needs to hear:

**Your kids are testing YOU when they disrespect your wife.**

They're learning:
• Does Dad back Mom up?
• Can I get away with this?
• Who's really in charge here?

If you don't shut it down IMMEDIATELY, it escalates.

Your kids keep pushing. Your wife keeps absorbing it. And you've failed both of them.

**Back her up. Every single time.**

Even if you disagree with how she handled something, you back her up in front of the kids.

Handle disagreements later, in private.

In the moment? You're a team. Always.

**Here's what your kids are learning:**

Your SONS are watching how you treat their mother. That's their blueprint for how to treat women.

Your DAUGHTERS are watching too. That's their blueprint for what treatment to accept from men.

If you let your kids disrespect her, you're teaching them:
• Mom doesn't deserve respect
• I can talk to women however I want
• Dad won't protect the people he loves

Is that the legacy you want to leave?

**Your wife is watching too.**

She's asking:
• Will he back me up?
• Will he stand with me?
• Can I count on him when it's hard?

Be the man who says YES to all three.

Nip disrespect in the bud. Now. Before it becomes a pattern.

Your family is counting on you to lead.

Don't let them down.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I have truly horrific news...

An illegal alien driving a semi-truck has just crashed head-on into a van of Amish men, k*lling 4 of them.

It appears the trucking company that employed the illegal is based out of California and is known as a "chameleon carrier"...

...which are trucking companies that re-register under new names to evade safety violations.

The Amish men who lost their lives to this illegal alien are:

Henry Eicher, 50.

His sons: Menno Eicher, 25, and Paul Eicher, 19.

and Simon Girod, 23.

There will be no protests for them.
Their story won't be in the mainstream news.

Please pray for their families.

[Connor Boyack 📚 @cboyack]

On this day in 1913, the 16th Amendment was ratified, giving Congress the power to levy an income tax.

At the time, Americans were promised this would only affect the wealthy. And technically, they were telling the truth. The original tax applied to incomes above $3,000 for individuals and $4,000 for married couples.

In today's dollars? That $3,000 threshold would be worth over $1 million.

The rates were modest: just 1% on most taxable income, climbing to a maximum of 7% for those earning over $500,000 (roughly $15 million today). Less than 1% of the population paid anything at all.

"Don't worry," the argument went. "This is just for the Rockefellers and the Carnegies. It will never affect ordinary Americans." Sound familiar?

Within just four years, rates jumped to 67% as World War I spending exploded. By World War II, the top rate hit 94%. More importantly, what had been a CLASS tax on the wealthy became a MASS tax on the middle class.

Before the war, only 7% of Americans paid income tax. By 1944, that number was 64%.

The camel's nose was in the tent. Then came the neck. Then the whole camel moved in and made itself comfortable.

Today, income tax applies to nearly two-thirds of all Americans. The 1040 form that started as three pages is now accompanied by instructions running over 100 pages. The IRS employs over 80,000 people. And the tax that was "only for millionaires" now takes a significant chunk from workers earning $50,000.

This pattern repeats itself because we let it.

Right now in California, there's a proposal called the "Billionaire Tax Act" that would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on the state's approximately 255 billionaires. The pitch is familiar: "It's just for billionaires. It will fund healthcare. The ultra-wealthy can easily afford it."

Maybe they can. That's not the point.

The point is what happens next.

Government programs never shrink. Revenue "needs" never decrease. And taxes marketed as targeting "the rich" have a historical pattern of trickling down to everyone else.

California already tried a wealth tax proposal in 2024 that would have applied a 1% tax to those with $50 million and 1.5% to billionaires. Notice the threshold was already lower. Give it a few years, and any "wealth tax" will apply to anyone with a paid-off house and a retirement account.

Some might call this speculation. I call it the lesson of the 16th Amendment playing out in real time.

The 16th Amendment should serve as a permanent reminder: When govt. asks for a small power that will "only affect" a small group, the power never stays small and the group never stays limited.

Every expansion of govt. authority, every new tax, every "temporary" measure that only targets those who "can afford it" is a precedent. And precedents have a way of growing.

The time to object is not when the tax collector comes for you. By then, it's too late. The time to object is when the principle is being established, even if you're not personally affected.

Especially if you're not personally affected.

That's the lesson of February 3, 1913. We didn't learn it then. We have another chance to learn it now.
