"A Call to Christians""I am told that Christians do not love each other. I am very sorry if that be true, but I rather doubt it, for I suspect that those who do not love each other are not Christians."~Charles SpurgeonI've spent a lot of time in recent months becoming more and more aware of how the world views those who use t...

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Who are you to judge others?

8 of 152

I've noticed a trend among Christians recently that really disturbs me. Christians seem to think that it's perfectly acceptable to judge nonbelievers. I keep hearing snide comments about that "slutty girl" or the man who lives with his girlfriend.Thinking like that is never going to bring lives to Christ! And if you're someon... More..

Being a Christian is all about lining up your will with His. As humans, we have the worst sin nature. We are bent to being sinful and depraved. We want to be lord of our own lives. And often, even after making a decision for Christ, we still follow our own path.Thank God for grace.What is grace? The definition that we're most... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Views on abortion

56 of 223

My beliefs on abortion are very closely tied to my faith and belief in God. I believe that God is the Creator of every life. I believe that God knows every child before they are even conceived. I believe children are gifts, not consequences.If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant, God has a reason, plan, and purpose for the ... More..

Someone asked me today how to treat homosexuals as the precious human beings they are to Jesus without condoning their sinful lifestyle. I will try to answer that here.It isn't easy. It's a lot easier to read someone's writing on the matter and say "Yes! I agree with that!" than to actually put it into practice. Especially wh... More..

Often it's used to describe the following:~a church member~someone who has been baptized or confirmed~someone who is very moral~someone who is very religiousBut if yo... More..

How many times have you heard the phrase "we live in a dog-eat-dog world"?Too many, I'd wager.What is someone really saying when they use that phrase? That everyone else looks out for only themselves, so I better do that too. And that's the very opposite of how we should be.People matter. Other people matter. But in our cultu... More..

Arts & Humanities > American Literature Book reviews: Under the Overpass, by Mike Yankoski

1 of 1

This book is absolutely incredible. I sat down to read it and couldn't put it down! I finished the whole thing in about an hour and a half, and it was one of the most convicting books I've read in awhile. He got inspired to give up everything he had and fully rely on his faith.Basically, he and a friend became homeless and li... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values When it will be acceptable to tell lies

8 of 11

Quick and Dirty Disclaimer: I believe the Bible to be the true Living word of God, which is why I use examples from Scripture in this article. We have all been taught the commandment "thou shall not lie."*One of the laws God laid down in His moral code is pretty clear... or is it?We've all been taught that lying is a hundred ... More..
