Its Time To Walk The Walk

I hate it when I hear someone say they love God and then turn around and cuss. Yeah, yeah I know. Everybody does it right? Its fine as long as society says it is.

Trust me, I know the thought process.

While this is an okay phase to go through while discovering God, once you find him and see what God says about it, you should stop.

Your wise words mean nothing if the only thing that follows you is sin. As Christians we are called to live a life worthy of Jesus.

Jesus changed lives, not just because he performed miracles but because he was different, holy, set apart. Jesus never said something uncalled for or unwise, nor did he ever let those who did fall. What I'm trying to say is that while we are called to reach out to these people, we are not called to relate to them through sin.

I have known Christians who believe it's okay to sin because it helps them fit in with the people they wish to help. But what they don't realize is that they are allowing themselves to be tempted and truly become addicted to these sins. We aren't supposed blend in with the crowd we are supposed to be the light of dark situations.

Its time for us to take that action, of being the light, of resisting temptation and not enabling it in others. If your a Christian in college, should you really be partying and getting drunk, is that really the image you should be portraying while saying you love Jesus?

That's not what Jesus would have done. If Jesus live in our day and age he would probably shut that party down and start flipping tables like he did with the pharasies. He would tell us that we were doing it all wrong, and he would be right. If you carry Jesus' name in your heart, then you shouldn't need alcohol to have fun.

I'm going to be really corny here and say; the only high I need is the high that comes from being high on the most high.

God does so many wonderful things, and he does when we walk they way he asks us to. When you read the bible, you shouldn't just set it down and leave your life unchanged, you need to walk it out, you need to apply the word to your life.

when you start to apply the word to your life, you start to see God's amazing work in your life. You start to see crazy things happen! If you love Jesus, stop turning around and sinning right after you tell him that. Walk out his word, and if you sin along the way, repent, but don't sin just to sin. Just because Jesus died for our sins doesn't mean we can keep committing them after knowing God. It means that he has covered our past failures, from before we knew him and that he will be there for us when we screw up.

Its time to walk the walk.

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.
