Savannah Guthrie admits 'deep disappointment with God' in Easter message amid mom Nancy's disappearance
Savannah Guthrie shared a powerful video message with the parish of the Good Shepherd New York church on Easter amid the search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
"We celebrate today the promise of a new life that never ends in death. But standing here today, I have to tell you: There are moments in which that promise seems irretrievably far away, when life itself seems far harder than death," Savannah continued, admitting to "moments of deep disappointment with God" and a "feeling of utter abandonment" as the search for her 84-year-old mother passes into its second month.
As that search has stretched from days to weeks to months, with very few promising new leads being overturned, Savannah continued to detail her struggle with faith.
"For most of us, there will come a time in our life when these feelings hold sway," she said in her video message. In those moments, "we are taught to take comfort in the fact that our friend, Jesus, in his short life, experienced every single emotion that we humans can feel."
But Savannah testified that her own feelings of grief have been so overwhelming: "I have questioned whether Jesus really ever experienced this particular wound that I feel. This grievous and uniquely cruel injury of not knowing, of uncertainty and confusion, and answers withheld. In those darkest moments, I've thought bitterly and perhaps irreverently that I have stumbled upon a feeling that Jesus did not know."
She wondered whether the Christian tradition's messiah ever "suffered this excruciating not knowing."

But why can't she see that Jesus is simply testing her faith by letting her mom get abducted?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

10 End-Times Signs Christians Cannot Ignore Happening Right Now
In a recent podcast conversation, Pastor Tom Hughes of Hope for Our Times and prophecy teacher Jimmy Evans examined 10 major end-times signs that point to the soon return of Jesus. Their discussion connects current global events, Israel, artificial intelligence and biblical prophecy into a clear picture of where we are on the prophetic timeline.
1. The Rebirth of Israel in 1948
The rebirth of Israel is one of the most significant end-times signs in Bible prophecy. After nearly 2,000 years, the Jewish people returned to their land, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy.
2. Jerusalem Restored to Jewish Control in 1967
3. The Convergence of End-Times Signs
Wars, global instability, moral decline, technological advancement and spiritual deception are all increasing at the same time. This aligns with Jesus’ teaching about birth pains in the last days that grow more frequent and intense.
4. Scoffing at Bible Prophecy and the Return of Christ
The Bible warns that in the last days, many will mock the promise of Jesus’ return
5. The Rise of Anti-Semitism Worldwide
6. Third Temple Preparations in Israel
The push to rebuild the Third Temple in Jerusalem is gaining momentum. The Temple Institute has prepared sacred vessels, priestly garments and trained individuals for temple service.
7. Increased Jewish Activity on the Temple Mount
Jewish access to the Temple Mount is expanding, with growing numbers ascending and engaging in prayer.
8. Signs in the Heavens: Blood Moons and Solar Eclipses
Patterns of blood moons and solar eclipses have coincided with major events in Israel’s history, drawing attention to God’s prophetic timeline and reinforcing the urgency of the times we are living in.
9. The Explosion of Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence and global technology fulfills the prophecy in Daniel 12 that knowledge will increase in the last days.
10. The Near Completion of 6,000 Years of Human History
Biblical chronology suggests a pattern of 6,000 years of human history followed by a 1,000-year reign of Christ, often referred to as the Millennium (Rev. 20). As we approach that threshold, the timeline itself becomes a powerful indicator that the return of Jesus Christ is drawing near.

They really like to reach on those end-time prophecies.

Don't they sound like those UFO people talking about UFO sightings, and then speculate when when will the government make the disclosure?
Pastor charged after grandfather of 7 drowns during baptism — and said she saw him ‘dancing with Jesus’
A UK pastor has been charged with manslaughter after a grandfather of seven drowned during a home baptism — and she allegedly recorded a video saying she saw him “dancing with Jesus.”
Cheryl Bartley, 48, was live-streaming a ceremony in October 2023 for Robert Smith, 61, on the Facebook page of her Life Changing Ministries.
The stream suddenly cut out as Smith, a born-again believer who has Parkinson’s disease, was being baptized in a kids’ paddling pool in the house in Birmingham, according to the report.
Emergency services were called — but the grandfather of seven was already dead. A post-mortem revealed he died from drowning, West Midlands Police said when announcing charges Wednesday.
The pastor later recorded a video about the death — saying that she saw Smith in heaven, “dancing with Jesus,” according to the Telegraph.
She has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter — an offense which carries a sentence ranging between 1 and 18 years on average in the UK — and is set to appear in a Birmingham magistrates court on May 14.

Could you eat at a Chick-fil-A while the manager is loudly praying for his customers and encouraging them to “stick to God” during lunch?

^ I don't eat there.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That's fucking unreal. There's a small kosher deli in our town. We've eaten there on numerous occasions and have yet to see any of the employees recite Shema Yisrael.

Would you become a Christian for $10 million? If not, what is your price?
Quote:Autumn Renae plans to quit OnlyFans to become a ‘full-time’ Christian if she makes $10 million
Autumn Renae is a high-earning digital content creator and influencer, who has gained attention for her quick financial success on adult site OnlyFans, where she reported earnings of nearly $7million.
Taking to X in January, Renae posted her income, with a statement that has started a debate, she said: “After I make $10,000,000 on Only Fans I’m retiring and becoming a full-time Christian.”
While others have left OnlyFans, flaunting their success with luxury lifestyles, or exiting due to burnout or scandal, the story of the American born 19-year-old, looks set to end with a Bible and a clean break. Renae said the decision is of deeply personal intent; believing she is divinely guided by a ‘spiritual promise.’
When she started making content on the adult site, Renae attempted to keep it a secret by blocking her home state of Kentucky. It wasn’t long before content was leaked, eventually leading people to contact her parents online. As it turned out, her mother was indifferent but chose not to tell her husband (Renae’s father).
Renae explained that the ‘end goal’ wasn’t random or performative but represented a finish line she felt compelled to honour. She said: “Ten million is my number. Once I hit that, I’m done. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and I feel like God put that number on my heart for a reason. It’s not about the money at that point, but knowing I set a goal, I’ll reach it, and then I can close this chapter.”
