If you died today, where would you go? Where are you going? This is a very real question that should be seriously considered. Life is short and incredibly fragile. You never know when a day will be your last. In fact, your eternity rests upon the answer to that question. The truth is you are going to heaven or you are going to hell. Most people don’t like to think about this question and distract themselves with “fun” and work and many other things. They don’t like to think about…

Do You Want a Great Life?
I used to want a mediocre life. I wasn’t consciously aware that I did. I didn’t want a great life. I just wanted a safe, good, happy life. Most people do. But, why have a good life, when I can have a great life? Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think God put us on this earth to be comfortable and have a good life. He put us on this earth to do His work and His work is not mediocre. God qualifies us to do great things. He gives…
Take His Hand
We can all agree that we don’t deserve the love and grace God has given us. Some of us let that discourage us. We know we can never possibly live a sinless life and we will never be good enough. You are good enough. Yes, you fail God sometimes, and you always will. But, he doesn’t ask you to be perfect, he just asks that you do your best to follow his commands and honor Him. Take his hand. If you are stuck in a rut and you are too…
A Thankful Heart, A Happy Heart
We take so many things for granted. We should be more thankful. We fight with our families about things that don’t matter. We complain when we get stuck behind a slow driver. We get cranky if we have to wait longer than we would like at a restaurant. What makes us think we’re so entitled? I don’t mean to pull the “starving kids in Africa card” but seriously, we actually have really good lives. We should be more thankful than we are. When I find myself starting to complain about…
Change a Heart, Change the World
When I was about nine years old, my favorite band was Jump5. One of their songs is called “Change a Heart, Change the World.” This song has always stuck with me. It talks about how changing someone’s heart today could change a million other hearts tomorrow. When we help lead someone to Christ, they will most likely lead others to Christ who will then lead even more to Christ. It’s an on-going cycle. If you want to change the world but feel like you’ll never be able to accomplish such…
Relationship of Christianity & Capitalism
Capitalism has its roots in religion, specifically in Christianity. The first instance where capitalism began to be recognized was in the Catholic Church of the Middle Ages. There were monasteries that rationalized economic life and began to put into place practices that favored private ownership of goods and services that were provided to individuals for the payment of a fee. Historian and sociologist, Randall Collins, said thatthe Church was the first place to put the rule of law and a system that resolves disagreements rationally into an economic marketplace. The Church…
