The Importance Of Loving A Man Who Loves God
Treva Martin

To all the ladies, single and taken:

We all have important qualities that we look for in boys. Whether it's a good sense of humor or sarcasm, or just a boy that has a sweet smile, we all know what we're looking for. In today's society, it is almost expected that you HAVE to be in a relationship. Unfortunately, many of the young adult relationships we see today are based off of immaturity and insignificant things.

I believe that we as Christians are suppose to hold dating to a high standard. According to the Bible, the sole purpose of dating is for marriage. Why do girls waste their time dating someone for fun? Because he slid into their dm's on Twitter or Instagram? Because you need a homecoming or prom date? Because the holidays or summer is coming up? Every girl should wait until they find a man that loves Jesus before anyone or anything, including her. Then he will pursue you in a Christ-like manner. Nowadays, these young men are few and far between, but they are out there. Believe me, when you find a boy that is willing to pray over your meal in a crowded restaurant, you will thank me.

As Christians, we are called to love like Jesus loves us. In fact, we are capable of loving because he displayed perfect love for us (1 John 4:19). Every friendship and relationship needs a firm foundation to stand and build upon. What is stronger than our God's love? This starting point found in Christ is so critical when looking for the person who you will spend your life with. It is the beginning of a beautiful masterpiece. A relationship bound in Christ is strong, mature, and filled with the Lord's purest and holy love.

Men who love the Lord are a beautiful blessing sent from above.This man will amaze you with his faith and pursue your heart in the most graceful fashion. These men will pray for you and your relationship, respect you in ways other boys can't even begin to comprehend, and love you in a way that is so pure. A man with Christ in his heart will push you to become a better Christian and will hold you to the standard to be a Christian women as mentioned in Proverbs 31. His heart is full of pure intentions for you and the future of your relationship. This man will pursue the most holy and pure love there is: agape.

Trust me, men like this are worth the wait, ladies. He will continue to amaze you with his passion for the Lord and his love for you.

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.

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.
