Setting Goals for Your Christian Journey

Posted on by

The following is a personal scoring chart for you to use for yourself to mark your own progress in your Christian walk. Just circle between 0 to 10 depending where you fall on this spectrum; 0 being not at all, 10 being always. Perhaps set some goals for yourself based on the answers you give today and check back again in six months or so. This isn’t to make anyone feel inadequate in any way. None of us have “arrived” at complete holiness but we should all desire to grow in our faith. My church attendance is regular. 0 1 … Continue reading →

Pornography and the Christian

Recently I’ve been hearing of more and more churches offering small group settings for men (especially) so they have a place to fellowship with other believers who are fleeing from their addiction to pornography. The issue of porn is not exclusive to men; there are some women who struggle with it as well. So why is this such a big deal—especially in a marriage where both husband and wife consent? As Christians we are to be sober minded and be watchful of the liar and thief which is Satan. In thinking back to my Marriage Series introduction blog, I share … Continue reading →

Homeschooling Resource of the Day: HomeSchoolViewTube.com

I just found out about a new website for homeschoolers called Homeschoolviewtube.com. It is a cross between Youtube, Facebook, and MySpace for homeschoolers. It is a social network, a video uploading site, and a place for homeschooling parents to connect, face to face …kind of. This is important because Facebook has purposely excluded homeschoolers, although they allow adults unaffiliated with any school. There are also Christian videos and amateur entertainment by and for homeschoolers. This is great for me because I had to stop putting videos on YouTube because I did not want to deal with the absolute hatred from … Continue reading →

Pray Without Ceasing

Posted on by

In the scriptures, we read over and over that we have been commanded to “pray without ceasing.” For instance: 3 Nephi 20:1 And he commanded them that they should not cease to pray in their hearts. 1 Thes. 5: 17 Pray without ceasing. Mosiah 26: 39 being commanded of God to bpray without ceasing, and to give cthanks in all things. The idea of a continuous monologue with the Lord seems both intriguing and overwhelming. On the one hand, to always be in contact with God means that we would be forever strengthening and improving our relationship with him. On … Continue reading →

We Know It’s Wrong, So Why do we do It?

Why do we sin when we know how destructive it can be in our lives? I mean, we’ve been given free will and can choose not to sin, right? Mankind wasn’t able to complete even one generation without sinning. Adam and Eve, even while walking and talking with the Lord disobeyed God by eating of the only tree they were instructed not to. So how did they come to that decision? I believe the answer is temptation and justification. The serpent, which was Satan, caused Eve to question God’s authority, and then told her she would not die if she … Continue reading →

What do you live for?

Posted on by

We all live for something, so what is it you find that excites you in life? Is there something you would drop everything for on a daily basis to do? All I can say is I’m glad I was permitted to write for Families.com’s Christian blogs, because I tend to drop other things in my day to share my thoughts here. Though what I’m studying and writing may be pleasing to God and building my own faith, it shouldn’t compete with direct devotional time with Him. People live for lots of things: Their careers, spouse, kids, social status, vanity, sports, … Continue reading →
