If you’re traveling to Rochester, there’s a lot for you to see and to do. There are restaurants here and there, and shops all around too. But, if you want to try something different and new, have you ever considered visiting a community church? Now, you may start to argue that you aren’t exactly the most religious or faithful person. Perhaps even the question, what am I to do in a community church? Well, yes, there are many reasons for you to visit a community church, even as a visitor.…

Still Unsure As To Whether God Is Great? Let’s Settle The Debate Forever | Faith | Converge

Let’s face it; nobody will ever categorically prove or disprove the existence of God. As such, you have to go through life with a little faith to truly let God into your life. One thing I can prove, however, is that God is great – regardless of whether he/she is real. Here are some of the reasons that settle the debate forever. God Makes Your Life Complete We only get a brief amount of time on this earth, and there’s nothing worse than feeling as though your life is incomplete.…

Where Are You Going?

Katie Fleagle

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?

Katie Fleagle

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

Katie Fleagle

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

Katie Fleagle

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

Katie Fleagle

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…

The Source of Creativity, Design, & Innovation

Jason Fleagle

I was reading a recent article on the world’s most powerful supercomputer, the Tianhe-2, literally translating to “The Milky Way 2”. The computer is capable of 36,860 trillion calculations per second! My initial thoughts were related to a specific question, how could human beings achieve such a feat of creation? We can look around at the world around us and see so many impressive things that were created by human beings. It makes me wonder, why do we have a desire to create? Or more appropriately, why do we want to design…

God Shaped Hole

Katie Fleagle

Do you ever feel like there’s a hole in your heart that you just can’t seem to fill? Chances are, it’s a God-shaped hole that only God can fill. We all have a longing to be loved and cared for and to show love and care in return. You don’t have to look any farther because you already have someone who cares about you more than anyone else can possibly care for you- God! God created you. He created every single little detail about you. You are absolutely perfect in…
