2 Apps That Every Christian Should Have
Cosozo

In 2016, we are using more technology than ever before. Everywhere you look, someone is tap-tap-tapping away on their smartphone or flipping open their personal computers. With all of this technology comes a whole new set of resources that can improve our lives and even our walks with God. Personally, there are 2 apps that I have found almost essential to my daily time with God.

1. The Fresh Life Church App

Fresh Life is a cluster of contemporary churches in Montana founded by Pastor Levi Lusko and his wife, Jenny.

To give some background about myself, I don't particularly enjoy contemporary churches. I was raised as a KJV-reading, traditional-hymn-singing Southern Baptist. I don't have anything against contemporary churches, it just isn't my preferred type of worship.

That being said, the Fresh Life app has had an enormous impact on mine, my husband's, and several of our friends' lives. The app is basically an archive of sermons and sermon series' taught by pastor Levi. Each one has an intriguing title and an amazing message. Pastor Levi is one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. He takes scripture and makes it totally applicable to every aspect of my life in 2016.

Each sermon is saved as a video and a podcast so that the listener can choose. Listening to sermon series' while I get ready in the morning has become a routine part of my life. I have been so blessed by series' like "Through The Eyes Of a Lion", "Save The Date", and "Velvet Steel".

The app is completely free for Android and Apple users. I can not urge you enough to download this app and start letting Pastor Levi speak truth into your life.

2. The Bible App by YouVersion

It sounds too simple, I know. I, just like many other young Christians have the Bible app installed on my phone but rarely ever use it unless I need a quick reference to scripture. However, lately I have really started to discover the amazing resources provided by the Bible app.

Under the "plans" tab, there are thousands of daily devotions and Bible reading schedules that pertain to different areas in the faith. Each plan is made up of a short to medium length devotion and two to five corresponding verses.

The app even allows you to set a time each day for it to remind you to spend time in your devotion. Plus, it will read the Bible to you!

The YouVersion Bible App can be downloaded for free on the Play store as well as the App store.

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
