"With" Review

 Hello readers,  I recently read a book that I loved and it's called With ! It is by Skye Jethani and I have enjoyed reading the books he has written. “With” is about how to live in communion with God and not from him, not over him, not under him, and not for God. Life over God should be pretty simple.  It means you’re not following God’s rules, but you are making your own. This doesn’t seem bad if you’re not a Christian but it is really a sin when you do that. You are saying that I won’t follow Jesus and his rules but me and my rules whether you realize it or not. Also it is when you use God to bless you're life. Skye Jethani illustrates what it is like to be in a Life Over God stage when he says "The mystery and wonder of the world is lost as God is abandoned in favor of proven formulas and controllable outcomes" (Jethani 6). Skye is basically saying that when you are Over God then it is  when you think you or someone else has authority. When, really, God is in con

Jesus in Writing

 Hello readers, Today I’m going to talk about songs! Songs are not just the lyrics but also what inspires the writer. If some of you know me, then you may know I write songs. I write with the love for Christ woven in. It may sound crazy but its true! I might not have started if it wasn't for Him. I write Christian songs and sometimes love songs. You can also love God through writing poems, books, and maybe school or even newspaper writing.   Forgive Us O Lord and The First Time I Saw You are the titles of some songs I have wrote in the past couple weeks or so. Forgive Us O Lord is a Christian song and you can tell I wrote it about Jesus Christ. The second one is a love song! In my opinion, the love song could be about God too, because if you are a Christian then you love Him. 

Jesus’s Miracles

Hello Readers,  I am very sorry for not posting last week there was a lot happening! Today though I am writing about the miracles that Jesus did. (  Definition of a Miracle ), Jesus did a lot of miracles and still does even when we don't know it. The first miracle that Jesus performed was at the wedding feast at Cana when he turned water into wine.  Because they ran out of wine, Jesus asked his disciples to fill six jars with water up to the brim. When the disciples finished Jesus asked his disciples to take some out and give some to the Master of the Banquet, and when he took a sip it tasted like wine. If you want to read the whole story you can go to this link  Jesus Changes Water into Wine . My question at first was how could He do this? Then I remembered that he is the Son of God and has more power than us and can do these things, like miracles. The funny thing is He is so powerful that through Him and our relationship with Him we can do miracles today. That only comes through

What You Do When You Are A Christian? Now What?

 Hello readers, So last week I wrote about "What is Christianity and What do we believe?" Now this week I am writing about what do you do now that you are Christian? Your a Christian- great! Now what? The answer is: live your life serving Jesus Christ and loving others. How do you do that? There are many things you can do to achieve this. One is tell about Jesus and share the good news (hint: Jesus died on the cross for you) also known as the gospels. Another way to keep your faith with Christ Jesus alive is reading your Bible everyday and praying with Jesus! There are also more broad things you can do. For an example, doing some mission trips: in the Bible it says,  He said to them"Go preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesn't believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15-16. Jesus is saying if you believe, then go tell others about what you believe so they don't have to suffer the consequences. These are just

What is Christianity? And What Do We Believe?

Hello readers,  Today I am going to talk about Christianity. What is it?  What do we believe?   I am going to answer these questions today. So Christianity is a religion in the world. Christianity is about a person named Jesus but Christians believe He is more than that. In addition to being a good teacher and a person He is the Son of God. We believe that Jesus Christ was a perfect man and we are far from perfect. I have made plenty of mistakes in my life, like not doing what my parents say. In the beginning the first people on earth named Adam and Eve sinned (this is what sin is:  Sin definition ) and didn't follow God's instructions. We inherited this sin nature and this is why we are not perfect.  But the Lord Jesus died on the cross for our sin . In the New Testament, the first part of John 3:16 says For God so loved the world he gave his one and only son . The second part of that verse says whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life . This means if we b
