To Christians All Over

Where will you go next?

To Christians All Over
Keri Ratcliff

When I was in the eleventh grade I had the joy of having to memorize all 50 states, their capitals and locations. It was difficult at first, but I made up random ways to remember them. 50 states in America.

Are you teaching people about the gospel throughout your state?

If not one Christian teaches anyone else in the whole United States, how will the people in other locations ever learn about the Bible? We are told to go out and teach the Bible. Now I'm not saying everyone will be missionaries or travel the country teaching, but how about walking across the street and inviting someone to church? Someone had to teach us, and it's our job to each others. I would hate to know that someone didn't make it to Heaven because I failed to do my job as a child of Christ and teach him. I just wouldn't be able to bear the thought of that.

People are always looking for an excuse to talk to someone--why not stop looking for excuses to talk to them and actually start discussing the Bible? Why not stop inviting people to go to the mall or movies and invite them to go to church with you? Why not stop putting off conversations about the Bible and questions that people have and just face them?

We don't like people to call us cowards or think of us as being wimps, but sometimes we act like it. We are always too scared to talk about the Bible because we think we will look crazy or like weirdos. Seriously, there will always be something weird about you. I don't know what your weird thing is about you, but one of my weird things just happens to be I'm an 18-year-old freshman in college, and I'm obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It is seriously sad when we are so scared about being seen as weird and would rather talk about everything else in the world but the Bible just to keep things "right." There are people in some countries who die every day because they are Christians, and they aren't afraid to teach the word and praise God. Then here we are; we sit around in a free country with freedom of religion in all 50 states, and we struggle with sharing our faith.

All the recent tragedies involved with the group ISIS is truly devastating. They are killing people with no right at all. They don't worship the Holy Bible like Christians do they worship the Koran. Their faith and confidence is making them a huge opponent to Christianity and to freedom.

ISIS IS COMING OVER HERE TO OUR COUNTRY KILLING OUR PEOPLE!!! ISIS IS KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES TAKING THEIR LIVES FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

They are trying to inflict their beliefs on everyone else. They think they are involved with the end of the world. We have to stand for our belief in Jesus Christ. He said that whoever denies Him, He will deny to His Father. Get your life with God today!

Right now more than ever we as Christians need to join hands and be willing to say, "I DO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST. GOD IS MY CREATOR! I AM NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I GO TO A CHURCH OF CHRIST AND THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN!" NEVER DENY THAT YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN. ANYONE CAN BE CONVERTED! SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THE QUESTION IS PRESENTED TO YOU?

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.

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.
