Resurrection or Easter Sunday is one of the most significant and meaningful days of the year for Christians, but when competing with egg hunts and bunnies selling chocolate, it can be challenging to include Easter's significance in family activities.  



How would you define Easter?  One of Christianity's holiest days, or Holy Days, is Easter. It celebrates Jesus' resurrection three days after His crucifixion. Easter marks the triumphant end of the Lenten season of intense prayer, fasting, and penitence for many Christian denominations.



Only four percent of Americans have a "biblical" worldview, according to a recent national survey by the Barna Research Group. George Barna, a scholar who has studied cultural trends and the Christian Church since 1984, looked at the percentage of "born-again" believers in America and found that it was a pitiful nine percent.

The results of Barna's study also revealed a link between moral convictions and behavior and worldview. Barna says, “Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life.”

Everyone has a worldview, whether it is conscious or unconscious. A personal worldview is the culmination of all you hold to be true, and it serves as the foundation for all of your thoughts, feelings, and deeds. As a result, it influences how you react to everything in life, including philosophy, physics, theology, anthropology, economics, law, politics, the arts, and social order.



How excited do you get to start a new semester? It's time to gain a new focus, organize, change things up, and revitalize. 

New year's resolutions are fashioned, and the start of a new semester can also signify a blank slate. A new year inherently encourages turning over a new leaf. 

Even if the previous semester may have been challenging, hopefully, it gave you the opportunity to discover more about yourself. Hopefully, you can go into this next semester knowing more about your hopes and needs.  Whatever the case, pausing and taking note of all things good and bad is a wise thing to do so the next semester is even more successful than the first.
