Thoughts About Tiredness/Anxiety/Feeling Down

There are tons of people who I know and love that have stress. There are many people who are tired all the time and/or feel down. They may be tired from a long work day or stressed because of something happening in their life. People may be tired and they have no reason to be exhausted, yet they are. There are those who are tired and can't explain why they are so exhausted. To all of these people-I understand what you are going through because I go through it myself. 

I know how hard it can be to stay alert at times. There are circumstances when I just feel like doing nothing because of the tiredness. You just have to try and battle the tiredness and ask the Lord for help. Jesus is the light of the world and brings joy to your life. Paul said in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Jesus is your strength to get through each day whether they are good or bad. 

1 Peter 5:7 states, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Jesus cares for the dying, the sick, and others who are suffering in some way. He cares about your health and well-being because He made you. He is peace, love, compassion, mercy, and comfort. Psalm 27:1 states the following: "The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom should I be afraid?" Have no fear, God is near! This is easier said than done, however-it takes facing your fears to become less fearful.  

People feel down for a variety of reasons-loneliness, not liking their job, etc. or they may not have any reason at all and just feel bad. Remember one thing-you are not alone. This is because Jesus is with you all the time; you got to believe and repent. If you don't feel good at your job, think about those who don't have a job, be grateful, try to maintain a positive outlook, and think about obtaining a new position. If you feel down for no reason, think of a reason to be excited. For example, one may think of the trip he or she went on last year with the family where everyone enjoyed themselves. Maybe a family has a planned event to look forward too such as a wedding or having a child.

Q: Did Jesus have Actual Brothers and Sisters within His Family? A: Yes!

"He went away from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him" (Mark 6:1 ESV). Jesus went to His hometown Nazareth and His disciples followed Him. "And on the Sabbath He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished, saying, 'Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to Him? How are such mighty works done by His hands?'" (Mark 6:2). Jesus taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Many who heard Him were astonished and questioned where He got these things, what's the wisdom given to Him, and how such mighty works were done by His hands. Then, they said He was a carpenter and mentioned His family members. "'Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?' And they took offense at Him" (Mark 6:3). They talked about Him being the carpenter, the son of Mary. A carpenter ( τέκτων)  was a builder

LGBTQ: Loving vs. Tolerating

I am sure many people have family members or acquaintances who are gay and/or involved with the LGBTQ community. There are events that have happened all over the country; they are even happening in small towns. The pride flags have been seen by many and are even in schools-even to kids in kindergarten!   However, as Christians, we ought to call out sin and oppose it in our lives and the lives of others. This is completely different than affirming sinful lifestyles and tolerating them. Not only is this tolerated nowadays, but it is also applauded and celebrated.  Paul wrote, "Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth" (1 Corinthians 13:4-6). Love... - is patient - is kind - does not envy - is not boastful - is not rude - is not self-seeking - is not irritable - does not keep record of

A Letter to Roman Catholics

Dear Roman Catholics, It is out of love and sincere compassion that I am writing this letter to you. I was in the Roman Catholic Church for 20+ years until about three years ago. Why did I leave? What caused this decision?  It is because of the numerous errors of the teachings of the Catholic Church when compared to the teachings of Scripture. I want to focus on the main one being salvation. The  Roman Catholic Church teaches that faith + works = salvation. Now, before I go on, I understand that Roman Catholics will argue this. In the Roman Catholic Catechism, it states the following: “The Council of Trent teaches that the Ten Commandments are obligatory for Christians and that the justified man is still bound to keep them; the Second Vatican Council confirms: ‘The bishops, successors of the apostles, receive from the Lord . . . the mission of teaching all peoples, and of preaching the Gospel to every creature, so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observa
