Christians Like To Have Fun, Too

We are in the world but not of it.

Sometimes when people hear the word Christian they tend to have misconceptions about what the word means and what we actually stand for.

A lot of people think that Christians are not supposed to have fun but in reality, that is simply not true. Christians have a ton of fun but our definition of fun is very different than the world's view of what fun is. Our definition of fun consists of three things. Enhancing our lives, fellowship and bringing glory to God.

It is important as a christian to not do anything that will hinder our lives or our walk with God. So, yes you will not see christians at parties and many other social events. What you will see is christians going around sharing thier faith. The sharing of faith is one of the most rewarding things ever. To be able to see Jesus work in people's lives is an amazing feeling. I have no regret partaking in this activity because it will help others so much.

Fellowship is another fun thing to do. Fellowship is when you spend time with other believers. I consider this not only fun but very important as well. Fellowship is just simply hanging out. Why is this important? It is very important because it is a reminder of who you stand for. When you spend time with people who believe the same things that you do, you spend time with others your life is enriched. Not only are these people your friends but they are your brother and sisters as well. You can be sure that these people have your best interest.

Bringing glory to God is always a fun thing to do. In fact, everything that Christians do should bring glory to God. This is the best thing. God has given his all for each and every one of us. Even those who do don't believe. It is so important to give back to him. Giving glory to God can be done in many different ways. It does not have to be boring.

Christians like to have fun too! Fun is not defined by recklessness or living free. The definition of fun is partaking in something that brings you joy or happiness. I want to partake in something that will not only benefit myself but others as well!

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.

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.
