A few months ago, I heard a super inspirational story in our chapel time at my school. It stuck in my head, and I really wanted to implement the story in my own life. The story was about how a girl sent a personalized Bible to her friend, and her friend gave it to someone else. That …
What is Grace?

We’re Too Focused On Love
We live in a world of hardcore opposites. Popular thinking about Christ has led to songs that focus only on His love for us, saying that He chose us because we are beautiful and amazing and special. But even more popular thinking crosses Christ out of the entire sphere of living, denying His existence (let …
