Finding Strength in the Lord

These days, a lot of us try to live on our own ability. We think we can do anything with our own power.

The truth is, we won't be able to do anything on our own. We need someone to help us, to encourage us, to strengthen us in times of distress. Of course, our friends and family might already be doing that, and we think we don't need anyone else besides the people around us. Well, partly true, we can get some encouragement from other people.

However, the only One Who can really strengthen us is God. No man can encourage or strengthen us like He can. Friends and family come and go and cannot always be there for us. God will always be there for us. He is forever faithful, and He is the only One Who can quench all our thirsts.

Maybe you are looking for that kind of strength and encouragement. If so, you've come to the right place! If you are not a Christian, you first need to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, before asking Him for that strength.

If you are a Christian, you need to first realize that you can do nothing alone, and you need God to help you. Then ask God to guide you in everything you do, and to strengthen you when you're weak. God will always be there for you to help you in situations when you don't know what to do.

 ~Psalm 105:4~
"Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!"
Now that you have this information, go tell someone else!

Standing Strong Against Temptation

There's one thing that we won't be able to run from no matter how many times we try to, and that's temptation. Temptation is always coming at us every which way. There's temptation when you go to school or work, when you're alone, and when you're hanging out with friends. There's temptation to watch ungodly movies, read ungodly books, and listen to ungodly music.There's temptation to take things into our bodies that we shouldn't be. You might not even realize you're being tempted at the moment, because the temptation is something a lot of your friends are doing, and it's normal to them. For instance, eating something sweet right before you go to bed. Or drinking pop when your parents told you not to. Or taking that extra piece of candy when no one was looking. But don't worry; you're not alone! We're all being tempted to do things. We're all human. Even Jesus was tempted when He was fasting for forty days. So, what do

Book Spotlight - To Slay a Curse by Rae Graham

Today I have a different kind of post than I normally write. A good friend of mine wrote and published her first book! She takes Biblical concepts and puts them into an adventure-filled story full of forgiveness and hope. Definitely worth the read!  I encourage you to check it out :) A parasitic monster. A timid young woman. A deadly inner world. Giselle is cursed. A monster lives within her, preying upon her mind. She sees no hope for her future when thoughts disappear as they form, and every small pleasure is met with a fit of pain. Then her closest friend offers her a single, harrowing chance at freedom. Terrified that failure is inevitable, but desperate for the life stolen from her, she sets out to slay her curse armed with a magical talisman. Now, the girl who can’t do anything right must defeat the beast within before her dreamsnare fills, or risk dying trapped in her own mind.  What Readers are Saying: “This book excels at feeling cozy, heartwarming, and altogether lovely!

The Battle Between the Poverty and Prosperity Gospels

My family and I have visited many churches over the years, so we have seen how several different denominations hold their services. Some of these churches have either been all for the prosperity gospel, or very much against it - that we should live as poor people like Jesus did.  In one particular church that we had been attending for quite some time, my family and I witnessed several situations that were very concerning to us. In the youth group, I remember everyone going around the room, saying what they were "believing" for. But the things they were believing for - every one of them was material possessions. When it got to my turn, I just kinda blurted out that I was believing for a piano. It was honestly the first thing I could think of at the moment, and I didn't want to look stupid in front of all these teens. Well, when you're afraid you're going to look stupid, oftentimes people pick up on that and decide to dig.  "Do you have a verse you
