Was This The Most Important Thing?

Christian boundaries are not restricted to one nation

Was This The Most Important Thing?

So it happened, we have a new president of the United States. Many things will change but there is one thing that will always be the most important that never will.

As Christians, we have one mission and that is to spread the gospel. No matter where you live in the world or who is the president that will never change. The great commission is our marching orders and we have to remember it is in his hands.

The world is a pretty big place and there are quite a few people living in it. Around the world there are different types of government with different leaders, and they greatly affect the people that live in those places. Don't get me wrong, elections are a very important matter and they affect us all. Whoever comes into office will make decisions that decide what direction the country is headed in. We should all be concerned about who we vote for, but it is not the most important thing. The amount of time that we will spend on this earth is minuscule compared to eternity afterward. Sadly, there are very few people who realize this. Something else Christians must do, is respect the laws of the land as long as they do not conflict with God. Whether our candidate won this election or not, we have to respect it and keep our eyes on God. One of the worst things we can do is riot and destroy the property of those who cannot control the government.

Although this election was a very important event in our nations history, it is not the most important thing in our lives. Christian boundaries are not restricted to one nation. We have to remember to respect the law of the land that we live in and keep God in focus.

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.
