I posted a short video explaining why we don't do easter eggs at NoLimits Church.

In short, when we bring in these distractions, it prevents the power of God from showing up. I'm not willing to trade in healing, miracles, and prophecy for plastic eggs.

As expected, some folks defended Easter egg hunts in the comments, explaining how they're used to draw people to church to hear the Gospel.

This makes sense, but it does not align with the Word of God. In other words, it is human wisdom, not God's.

Jesus never used gimmicks to draw a crowd. If His incredible teaching, healing, and deliverance weren't enough to draw them in, they missed out.

In fact, we have record of Jesus rebuking a crowd of people for following Him for free food after they had seen Him feed the 5,000. The result? Many of them turned away.

Easter egg hunts produce lukewarm Christians at best.

And at worst? They distract people from Jesus.

Where did the church get off thinking it could manipulate people to hear the gospel? This is ridiculous.

Jesus taught us exactly how to evangelize the world. Teach the Word of God with great authority and heal the sick. Period.
