I’ve had so many conversations in the past month about Christians that struggle with religious doctrine and choosing spirituality over organized religion. It also made me reflect on Christians’ relationship with the sacrifice Jesus made and what it means for us. Are we always forgiven no matter the sin? The answer is very complicated. AreContinueContinue reading “Consequences and Forgiveness”

To Talk to God
Today’s post is somewhat hard to put into words. My final goal from Lukewarm Obedience is to Talk to God. How do you talk to someone who can’t talk back? Or can He? I am going to do my best to explain talking to God for people who have never done it before. It’s complicated and definitelyContinueContinue reading “To Talk to God”
Reading the Bible is HARD but Possible :)
Reading the Bible is hard. The language is difficult. Some of the books literally are nothing but numbers and names. The Bible is by far, one of the most difficult books read yet in the last 50 years 3.9 Billion copies were sold (I have like five myself). So, how do you actually read it?LikeContinueContinue reading “Reading the Bible is HARD but Possible :)”
How Rapper’s that are Christian are Helping Me through 2016 and Beyond
I typically would have written another Friday Vibe on music that I have stumbled upon but I just couldn’t this week.

How I Learned How to Pray
For the record, I am probably ten years old deep down inside. I never learned how to pray from someone. I always did the poem prayers but never learned how to make my own. So, when I talk about a relationship with God. This is new for me. Here’s what I learned so far about prayer.ContinueContinue reading “How I Learned How to Pray”
My Christian Life as A Love Story (Pt. 2): Relationship with God
Yesterday, I wrote about a short story about my relationship with God growing up. It started off very oppositional and foreign, but has eventually become more natural and familial as I’ve gotten older. I’ve now gotten to a point where I want more. The question is how do you build a relationship with God? AContinueContinue reading “My Christian Life as A Love Story (Pt. 2): Relationship with God”
My Christian Life as A Love Story (Pt. 1)
I like who I’m becoming and God is an inseparable part of that. As I’ve been developing, I have been trying to figure out how to explain to people who Christianity as a religion is flawed like all religions but Christianity as a faith is more than church on Sunday, it’s a love story everyday.ContinueContinue reading “My Christian Life as A Love Story (Pt. 1)”
Curses & Swear Words
When I was a little child, I was outstandingly pure. I was the little boy who constantly told my grandmother and other family members about their language. I even remember the first time I swore, under provocation of classmates, I cried for 20 minutes because I felt bad. Now that I’m part-sailor, I wonder, shouldContinueContinue reading “Curses & Swear Words”
Sho Baraka – The Narrative
Following the themes of this week, how should a Christian act? How should a Christian look? What should he talk about? How should she interact with the world? What should be the mark left in the wake of a person with their heart on God? In truthfulness, this is something that has never been nailedContinueContinue reading “Sho Baraka – The Narrative”
