One of the many incredible aspects of God’s grace is that it doesn’t go away once we are saved. He doesn’t show us His grace for salvation alone. There is an endless supply of it! That's what this poem is about.
Why You Can Overcome Your Habitual Sin
Think about the "worst" sins that you’ve committed and how you tried to handle them. Did you obsess about them? Did you worry about overcoming them? Did you keep giving into temptation? Did you deal with them in ways that hurt your relationships with God and others? Unfortunately, when we give in to sin, we usually proceed in a variety of unhealthy ways.
Are You Believing the Lies of Social Media?
As I get older, I realize more and more how much social media influences the culture. We've been consumed by Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and a myriad of other social media platforms. But we've also been consumed by the lies that they tell us—because they serve as a "shield" that many people use to hide their sins, struggles, and suffering.
You Are Enough
What do I need to do to make a 100—or closer to perfect—score on the next exam? Do I need to wake up earlier? Go to bed later? Withdraw from my other classes to solely focus on history? How much studying will be enough?
The 3 Greatest Fears of Introverts
Introverts are often stereotyped as people who are unable to carry on a conversation, unable to have fun at parties, and unable to spend more than a few minutes at a time with people. As an introvert, I feel like those are pretty big assumptions (that definitely aren't always true). But I'm also willing to admit that introverts do have a lot of fears related to social situations—including these three fears.
How to Deal with Negative Emotions
I felt completely helpless to change my circumstances, but I also felt so far from God. I struggled to appropriately deal with the negative emotions that I felt—probably because I craved constant happiness and believed that I was entitled to it. I couldn't see a way out of the downward spiral that my life had become.
Is Your Phone More Important to You Than People?
We're quick to pull out our phones to check notifications, send messages, and scroll through social media. But are we quick to listen to other people when they speak up? Are we quick to reach out to people who are typically ignored by everyone else? Are we quick to build others up with our words and actions? Sadly, we're not.
Sermons of Ourselves
The focus of this poem is pride—a sin that is addressed many times in Scripture yet is often treated lightly by Christians. Sadly, many Christians focus more on building their platforms and being in the spotlight than on glorifying God. But that's not what we're called to do, friends. We're called to humble ourselves and point people to Christ alone.
Movie Review: The Case for Christ
Overall, the movie used believable actors and actresses. The story was fairly interesting. Though it wasn't as dramatic as some Christian movies, like Courageous, the general story and theme were compelling; and much of the information Lee Strobel discovered was new to me and may be new to you as well.
