Finer Things

I was watching Say Yes To the Dress with my mom yesterday. There was a woman on there who said she "enjoyed the finer things in life." It really got me thinking. How could people be content with earthly things? Earthly things are so futile. In an instant it could all be gone. And what's…

Can Science and Christianity Mesh?

It's a common question, and the answer seems relatively simple. It seems impossible for science to explain (for example) the miracles found in the Bible. The answer, however, is rarely that simple. So, courtesy of my science textbook and a dash of the internet, we're going to look into this confusing question. Warning: if you…

Getting Political: Gun Control

This is another topic I've been actively avoiding. But after reading some Bible verses that I believe correlate with the issue, I've decided to tackle it. People are usually polar opposites when it comes to this issue. No one seems to be in the middle. There's the first extreme, saying that guns should be banned…

The Hard Truth About Heaven and Hell

You and I will someday die. Everyone will someday die. Now is the time to start planning for eternity. Heaven or Hell: where will you be once you die? HEAVEN Heaven will be the dwelling place for the saved. If you believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins, this is…

Why I’m Against “Following Your Heart”

Surely you've heard the phrase "follow your heart" before. It's everywhere: shirts, posters, etc. On the outside it seems to be good advice. Following your heart means doing what's best for you, or following your dreams. But the heart is sinful. The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond all cure. Who can understand…

Getting Political: Immigrants

In all honesty, I wasn't excited about writing this. Why? For one, I don't know much about the subject.  But since it was requested, and since I needed a new Getting Political post, here we are. Disclaimer: I'll more than likely get something wrong, so I sincerely apologize. Let me start by saying you are more…

Spiritual Gifts

If I were to ask you what your spiritual gifts are, how would you react? Maybe you would go still, saying "Uhhh..." I think that's the majority. What if I were to ask you what your hobbies are? Would your answer change? I think it would. The thing is, your spiritual gifts ARE your hobbies.…

How To Be Saved

Do you recognize Jesus Christ as your one true Savior? That right there is the most important question you will ever be asked. What did you answer to it? Yes? No? Maybe? Let me tell you right now: maybe is a no. If you answered yes, are you living like it? Are you acting the…

God’s Love

(Didn't realize this was my third post on love until I finished. But I really don't care.) I'm sure you've heard of Jacob from the Bible. He tricked his dad Isaac into giving him the blessing instead of Esau, whom it was for. Then he ran and stayed with his uncle, Laban. Laban had two…

Getting Political: Muslims

What better way to celebrate the first month of 2019 then to offend somebody? I'm kidding. (But in all honesty, please be considerate in the comments.) Muslims. Some people hate 'em, some people don't. I'm the latter. Listen. They're people. Just like you. Just like me. And God loves them, too. For God so loved…
