Christian Living is a life lived by faith in Jesus Christ who saved us. The day-to-day life of faith is one that grows and strengthens as we seek to follow Jesus’s example through daily Bible study and prayer. Jesus Christ lived a blameless life as an example for us to follow. We can live a life full of hope, love, peace, and joy. We will never be perfect but can strive to daily mature in Christ and live a life worthy of our calling.

This medication helps with...Read More

There was a time in my life that I thought that my faith was weak, and sometimes that “stinking thinking” returns to haunt me. On my sunny days I felt like my faith was strong. How can my faith be like a yo-yo? Up, down, up, down…how could my faith be so dependent upon my mental health, my emotional wellbeing? The reason that I believed that my faith was weak during my dark days was...Read More

Hiding Behind a Mask

For example, there is a part of me that is very proper and mannerly. That is the person...Read More

The Golden Rule

As I cruise the social media platform, Facebook, I see so much negativity. Remember when we were younger and we were taught “The Golden Rule”? There seems to be a virus of forgetfulness that has spread faster than this coronavirus, and it has been circulating for quite a while now. It just won’t go away. We need a booster shot to remember to be courteous and considerate. The Bible has much to say about considering others. It...Read More
