Now that I’m done with the Easter study, I seem to be meditating quite a bit on my time in bondage to Herbert Armstrong’s error. In my time confined in Armstrongism, I spoke out boldly against Easter and those who observe it. I concentrated on the name, putting forward grossly inappropriate and highly questionable statements as fact – for instance that “Easter comes from the pagan goddess Eostre, who is Ishtar, and the Bible says God hates Ishtar.” I fashioned verbal weapons regarding the pagan origins of eggs and bunnies and lilies, and I beat my fellow Christian with those weapons

A lot of comments are made about preaching to the younger generation. Lots can be said about the newest set of adults in our culture, and it is imperative that we get to know who we are trying to reach, or who we are preaching to on a Sunday . . . But let’s not fall into the trap of thinking that the new generation are simply looking for new style. It is so easy to think that preaching in a certain style will appeal to the younger generation. It is true that generationally there is a shift in preferred styles of preaching, but the danger comes when we presume that style is the key, then lose sight of substance.
