If not more, of what's going to happen on good Friday and- in quote-unquote- easter Sunday morning in churches all across America is a stench in the nostrils of God and is under God's severity.
Easter Sunday might be a beloved tradition for many, but Rick Peterson has some strong words about its current state. In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Peterson takes a hard look at the holiday's pagan roots and the superficial, commercialized ways it's often celebrated today. He argues that these practices have turned Easter into a man-centered marketing scheme, far removed from its spiritual essence. According to Peterson, such celebrations are not just misguided but are actually offensive to God.
He calls on listeners to reject these shallow customs and instead seek a form of worship that truly honors the solemnity of the gospel and the joy it brings to the heart. Peterson’s passionate plea is for a return to sincere and genuine worship, free from idolatry and commercial distractions.
This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels that modern Easter celebrations have lost their way and are looking for a more meaningful way to observe this significant Christian holiday.
