11 Bible Verses To Live By
Keith Ferrin

Of the many, many verses in the Bible, to be accurate all 31,102 of them, sometimes a certain few stick out to each individual. I wanted to share 11 of those that have changed my life, encouraged me somehow or reminded me of God's purpose. The Bible is God's Word to the Christians, and it's a guideline for our lives on Earth.

1. Jeremiah 29:11

Anyone who knows me, knows this is my life verse. I have used this verse as a lifeline to trust in God and to trust that I have purpose for my life even when I can't see it.

2. Proverbs 3:5-6

At any point in my life when I have had no understanding of what to do, I remember these verses and remember that I am to trust God and not myself.

3. Acts 1:8

4. Isaiah 40:30-31

I know a few college students have used this verse as a stronghold. We are the "youths", but finals week can take out every ounce of usable, young strength out of you!

5. Joshua 1:9


Live life boldly!

6. James 2:26


The whole book of James is my favorite. To me, it's a book of how-to's when living a Christian life. James 2:26 particularly sticks out to me as a reminder that my faith should be seen in deeds, not for my glory, but to show faith in Jesus is not death but life.

7. 1 Peter 5:7


8. Romans 6:14


"...BUT UNDER GRACE"

9. 1 Timothy 4:12


10. Colossians 3:2


Looking around at events that are happening right now in America and across the world is really depressing. Setting our minds to above--Heaven's plans--can be really uplifting and purposeful.

11. Ephesians 2:10

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
