Newsweek is on its last legs. Probably will go on line only soon.

May I suggest looking at the advertisers to send your complaints.

"They ALWAYS push this kind of junk around Easter."

But sNoozweak won't be rising on the third day (or month, or year...)

Of all the stupid times to push the idea that God is dead, Easter has to be the stupidest.

LOL, it has nothing to do with God being dead. Did you read the article?

Evil Dictator is Right! As each day passes, I get more sick at the idea that perhaps O is a disciple of satan, preparing the globe for the “coming” of the evil one!

It seems to be an annual event, doesn’t it? They want to spoil our Easter joy!

At the Lamb’s high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who hath washed us in the tide
flowing from his pierced side;
praise we him, whose love divine
gives his sacred Blood for wine,
gives his Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.

Where the Paschal blood is poured,
death’s dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel’s hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.

Mighty Victim from the sky,
Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light;
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened Paradise,
And in Thee Thy saints shall rise.

Paschal triumph, Easter joy,
Only sin can this destroy;
From sin’s death do Thou set free
Souls reborn, O Lord, in Thee.
Hymns of glory and of praise,
Father, to Thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to Thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.

My favorite is:

“Life unwinds like cheap sweater,
Since I gave up hope I feel alot better...”

That guy is cool.

Ever listen to his song, “Life Boat”?

Laughing just thinking about it :o)

Well, God also says that there is going to be a decline and fall of the faith, too — the great apostasy...

Trust me, there are already a number of “Christians” on FR who are steeped in the apostasy.

Very well put! And how many times is it repeated in the Bible to stand and not waver....for we will be tested over and over again.

God is the best thing in my life.....PROUD TO BE A CHRISTIAN!

Elijah once said he was the only one left, but God said that He has His remnant of followers. There always is a Remnant and that is always enough to bring about a revival.

Okay, I must admit I didn't take the time to read the entire article but even if Christianity is declining in the U.S., the truth is the truth.

"As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God" Romans 14:11

Oh, well, I’m content to wait and see. If it’s a race between church attendance and Newsweak subscriptions I think I know which way to bet.

“We’re going to decide which lives are worth living... and which lives are worth... ahem... not living”

It’s on the same album with “Cash Cow” I think... good stuff.

Speaking of the remnant...you absolutely MUST read the following!

“Elijah once said he was the only one left, but God said that He has His remnant of followers. There always is a Remnant and that is always enough to bring about a revival.’

Absolutely. But revival or not, we need to be ready to live like we are the only ones who love God. I feel like we will be more isolated as this all progresses. We’ve got to live like we’re on fire (while we try to avoid being burned at the stake!)
