Where Are You God?

Where are You God? Everyone has cried out to God, only to receive silence. The reason for God’s quietness is different for every story, situation and person. In the Psalms, King David experiences similar silence, but his reaction can teach us how we should proceed when we don’t hear God answer.

Being the Fruit of the Spirit

As Christians, when we set our own selfish ambition aside and ask God to rule our lives, our character begins to emulate that of Jesus Christ.

Manipulating Beauty

Technology has made it easy to adjust a little here and a little there allowing each individual to have the “body they’ve always dreamed of.” People then turn around and talk about how liberating it is to finally see themselves the way they’ve always wanted to be seen.

Share Faith: Until They All Know

My heart hurts daily – not because people are mean to me, or my heart was broken by a guy or a friend. No, my heart hurts daily because there are people I love who do not yet love the Lord. We who know the Lord will live with a hurt heart until we share our faith with everyone and they all know and love the Lord.  It’s a burden we bear. A burden they are unaware of, but a burden that the Lord helps us to mend.

Following God’s Life Purpose and Knowing Who I Am

Knowing who you are honors who God created you to be. Anytime you try to change yourself to fit into a group at school, be accepted by a boy or mold yourself into societies definitions of beauty, you are in a sense mocking God.
