Majoring in Minors

After all that God has done for us, He deserves all our love and dedication, but is that what we give Him? It is so easy to become distracted by the things of this world and completely focus on things that are not as important as eternity. Do we have our priorities straight? Are we focused on less important things in life more than the most important things? Are we majoring in minors?

  • Are we knowledgeable and passionate about politics but lack interest in God’s Word and eternal matters?

Do You Have the Mind of Christ, or the Mind of Satan?

None of us are perpetually flawless, and, because we have all sinned against God, none of us deserve Heaven, but if we call ourselves CHRISTians and want to be where He is, we must do our best to aim for sinless perfection and truly repent when we sin. If you are turned off whenever a Christian or a Christian preacher mentions something about the necessity of obedience to God, I lovingly encourage you to study more about this in the Bible and honestly ask yourself why you have a negative attitude toward obedience.… Read more

Your Greatest Happiness: In the Past or the Future?

Is your greatest happiness in the past, or in the future? If we live our lives always looking back, it’s like running backwards in a race we desperately need to win. That will only slow us down and make it very difficult to reach the goal. We cannot go back to the so-called “good old days,” but we can go somewhere even better. We are getting farther and farther from the past and our youth, but if we are faithful Christians, we are getting closer and closer to Heaven!… Read more

Many young people are constantly wishing to be older, and when they are old, they wish to be younger! Contentment seems to elude most people. When many children are in school, they cannot wait until they get their driver’s license. When they have that, they cannot wait to be old enough to graduate high school. Then they cannot be content until they graduate college or find their dream job, and after that they cannot wait until they retire.… Read more

Politically Conservative, but Religiously Liberal

Many who are politically conservative are liberal when it comes to religion, and they don’t even realize it.

Just because a man “identifies” as a woman, that does not make him a woman.

Just because a man identifies as a turtle, that does not make him a turtle,

and just because a man identifies as a Christian, that does not make him a Christian!

Facts matter – especially God’s requirements to become faithful and remain faithful.… Read more

You and I Are Not the Standard of Judgment

Are we guilty of being too critical of others? Do we judge others based on our own personal standards, instead of God’s Word? Here are some questions to consider:

  • Do you look down on others if they do not smile and joke around as much as you do?
  • Do you look down on others if they buy something you personally would not buy? (though it is nothing sinful).
  • Do you look down on others if they are not as energetic and outgoing as you?

You Would Feel So Much Better

Even for Christians, it is easy to focus on ourselves, feel self-pity, and think about how bad things are. It is good to remember that there are surely others who have worse circumstances than we do. Let us focus on ways we can help others and remember how blessed we are. If we start feeling sad in our own little world, we would feel so much better if we would:

  • Think about others around the world who are struggling with various problems.
