In conjunction to yesterday’s post about Religion versus Gospel, I recently have been reflecting about God’s messages in the Bible. I find it amazing how we tend to pick and choose what about God we want to make law and what to ignore. I’ve seen some really condescending responses about how God outlawed cutting your hair, piercings,ContinueContinue reading “Love God/Love Others”

Reader’s Choice: Religion versus Gospel
Why is religion such a taboo topic? Why do so many people have an aversion to hearing about spirituality, whether Christian or not? Why is it that everyone can listen to music with sex, drugs, violence, love, and friendship but God is going too far? Why is religion such a divisive subject for anyone toContinueContinue reading “Reader’s Choice: Religion versus Gospel”
War Room (Movie Reflection)
As a subtle but not so subtle transition, I spoke about all types of relationships except the one that is most important to me, God. All this week is inspired by my exploration of my relationship with God. I wasn’t able to see The Shack yet, so let’s talk about a surprise enjoyment, War Room instead. War Room Trailer:ContinueContinue reading “War Room (Movie Reflection)”
Why We Struggle
I was down today. After overcoming so many barriers, I was still down on myself. I was down and doubting myself so hard, that God had to tell me himself, it’s okay. I will never shy away from my faith. My relationship with God has saved my life multiple times but this was different. WhileContinueContinue reading “Why We Struggle”
Favorite Albums 2016: Coloring Book
This is definitely the customary favorite album of the year post but I could find 1,000 albums this year that were impeccable. Musicality and execution are some of the many things are easy to compare. But, at the end of the day, music is subjective. So, I am not going to hide my bias. I’m goingContinueContinue reading “Favorite Albums 2016: Coloring Book”
Reader’s Choice: Maintaining Faith
Once again, I’d like to say a quick thank you to @Unkle_Willi on Twitter for giving me a good topic to touch on today. Follow him. He’s super dope. Faith has steadily become more of an important topic in my life. As my writing has evolved and I matured, everything has started to trend backContinueContinue reading “Reader’s Choice: Maintaining Faith”
Waiting on your Destination [Fighting Self & Depression]
“Those streetlights passing, happen to be just like moments passing in front of me. So, I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare because I know my destination but I’m just not there.” I have dreams. I have visions. I have hopes and aspirations for my life. However, the one thing that IContinueContinue reading “Waiting on your Destination [Fighting Self & Depression]”
Thankful for the Day
I am thankful for today. I am thankful for the yesterdays that taught me lessons. I am thankful for tomorrows that will bring me wisdom. I am thankful for the people I don’t know yet. I am thankful for the loves that haven’t engrained their mark in my heart and the ones that did. IContinueContinue reading “Thankful for the Day”
Today’s Post: Coexistence with God
Today, I wanted to write about something very personal to me. Yet, it’s very opinionated so I decided to put it on my second home, The Classroom. Just like academia is a home for liberal thought*, The Classroom is where I talk about all things culture, art, music, philosophy, religion, relationships, and random musings. It’sContinueContinue reading “Today’s Post: Coexistence with God”
Coexistence with God
A story as old as time. Commonly debated and fought over to the point of exhaustion. It’s amazing that faith has become the scapegoat for hatred and all the world’s woes when central to the message is love. It’s almost as if the world is designed to stomp out any form of hope.
