Single and Gifted
Reading Time: 7 minutes Let’s be honest. It is downright difficult to be a single adult in the world today, even more so as a single Christian. We are bombarded with images of couples around almost every corner: from movies, television shows, books, walking down the street, Facebook status changes, and even within the…
Collective Neglect, Individual Indifference
Reading Time: 4 minutes That particular Sabbath was a gorgeous day with golden sunlight falling through the large window above the baptistery.

Why Can’t It Be Easier to Believe?
A Spiritual Journey
Reading Time: 2 minutes So many times, we hear about this amazing stories of people who lived horrible lives “finding Jesus” and being changed. But many youth who are raised in a community of faith never have a dramatic experience. They grow conscious of spiritual matters gradually and their decisions on what to believe happen over a span of a few years. This is like Nicodemus.

Reading Time: 4 minutes As Christians, we often talk about faith: Faith in God. Faith in Christ. Have faith that the Lord will answer our prayers. Have faith that things will turn out better tomorrow. And so on.
But what is faith? The explanation of “faith” is too often forgotten in discussions about having faith in the Lord, and the word itself has become a sort of catch-phrase or Christian buzzword with no meaning. We can talk about faith until we are blue in the face, but it will be completely pointless unless we understand what faith is!

After all, how can you trust in a God you have never seen, heard, or touched?
Whenever I am asked the above question, I think this to myself: If the Bible or God or Christ is not true, my life would still have been worth living in a Biblical way as a follower of the teachings of Christ.
