What Does the Bible Work say concerning Love and Relationships?

What Does the Bible Work say concerning Love and Relationships? Photo by Allison Saeng on Unsplash Introduction Everything we literally bump into is love, eh? Pizza? Love. Our country? Love. Kids? Love. Spouses? Love. We put love in our mouth so carelessly, it begins to sound a little like a spam filter like you are holding it when you are not supposed to. The Bible however is not that messy. Scriptures exude love in a completely different tone. It is not a sense you can get on the weekend or a vibe that you may see on Instagram. It is a big push of something- much more demanding and much more gorgeous. And when it addresses itself to relationships, such as friends, marriages, church crews, families, it paints a picture that excavates ground deeper than the generic cultural script. At least this we ought to think. The texture of our entire grind is determined by how we love, what we love, and how we develop tension with other people. Getting it right matters. And the Bible really has ...

How Does the Bible Describe Heaven?

How Does the Bible Describe Heaven?   Photo by  Stephanie Klepacki   on   Unsplash What is heaven? Heaven is an ultra-interesting subject when delved into the Biblical materials, right? Decent theorists like professors and other pupils have been baffling as to what is really up there past the clouds. Is it just a serene, airy realm? It is a more spiritual state in the eye of some classmates. Still others say it is a much more enriching and glorifying reality than we are ever able to imagine.   The Bible does not present a step-by-step guide to the structure of Heaven, but still gives some clues occasionally. Such glimpses are scattered through Scripture like pearls, and they show us a very beautiful God-focused paradise where we must all spend eternity with Him. Reading those lines, we begin to envision Heaven not as an attitude of complete security of the human mind created by our designs, but as an actual existence developed by God, as explained in boo...

Recognizing God’s Guidance in Life

Recognizing God’s Guidance in Life   Photo by Maddy Weiss on Unsplash Introduction To most individuals who believe in God, there comes a moment in their lives when they do have the same silent question; and that is how they know whether God is leading them. It is not necessarily a black-and-white. Life is pitiable, and almost on a daily basis, we make choices regarding relations, work, studies and the course we wish our lives to follow. There are those times when we are already sure of our decisions and there are those when we are utterly disoriented. To the Christians, the concept that God leads the lives of people is significant. The Bible teaches that God is a caring God that does not leave his people to structure everything on their own. However, despite that promise, the guidance of God can not always be seen. God does not talk with loud and dramatic tones as we would think. His direction is silent most of the time. It appears in contemplation, in prayer, in the Scrip...

The Danger of Pride According to the Bible

The Danger of Pride According to the Bible Photo by Allison Saeng on Unsplash   Introduction At this point, pride is something, which almost every one of us grapple with at some point at school or in later life. Other times it emerges in the form of bragging whereby the student council is corrected by an individual regarding their brilliant presentation or because they are the brightest in the room. But it can also creep insidiously up the back of that attitude of I always know what is best or a willingness to make no concessions when somebody tells him about a misapprehension. And it is basically that attitude, albeit slight, that we are good enough and do not need anyone to assist us. Pride is much about in the Bible - not something to feel proud of. It is actually described as one of the worst vibes that one can develop. Of course, in the beginning it seems so innocuous and even encouraging but with time it gradually drags you off of God and your friends. Once you fall ...

The Spiritual Impact of Rejecting God

 The Spiritual Impact of Rejecting God Photo by Liu JiaWei on Unsplash Everything is so simple, shuffling God aside. It is not dramatic, but it eventually creeps in over the years, and you will hardly even notice it before it is too late. Deadlines, assignments, the entire grind thing all leave us trapped in the rut of I know enough and the relationship once so firmly established begins disintegrating. This silent aloofness occurs in the Bible in many more ways than we actually imagine. It is not about any noisy insurrection; it is, generally, merely our sulking down the voice of God as some dull sermon. We may continue to believe in God but we cease to tune in. We have stopped seeking advice, and we find ourselves wondering how we have actually made decisions that are in tandem with what God wants. It might not seem that there is anything wrong with ignoring God. Life continues, plans are still in motion and even success may seem to have come temporarily. The bible continues to r...
