10 Reasons That God Says We Should Never Give Up
Book Review: Politics According to The Bible

There can be so many times in life that it just seems better to just give up.

Sometimes we're even told that it's easier to just give up; to stop trying.

Even though the going gets rough, it's so important to remember that God is on your side and that He is for you. God tells us that not only is it important to never give up, but that it's important to fight. Fight for relationships, fight for health, fight for your friends, fight for everything that is good and right, and never stop trying.

God will provide us with the strength we need, no matter the situation; and he will never put something in your life that you can't handle.

With that being said, here are 10 reasons that God says you should never give up:

1. 2 Chronicles 15:7

"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."

2. Isaiah 41:10

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

3. Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

4. Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

5. Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

6. Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

7. Psalm 37:24

"Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with His hand."

8. 1 Corinthians 16:13

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."

9. Mark 10:27

"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

10. Galatians 6:9

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

When the weight gets too much to bear, or when life gets a little too hectic, just remember that God is with you, and He will always give us strength when we need it.

Keep pressing on, have faith, and never stop fighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
