Not praying and wondering how you got trapped in sin is like not washing your hands and wondering how you got sick.

“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because…
What do you say to a person who just lost their best friend? ….their sister?
I cannot fathom the feeling in her stomach, in her head, and in her heart. My heart is shattered for her and I’ve only met her once.
Death scares me so much. Not because I’m afraid of going to Hell, or because I’m afraid to leave this world. I am excited for a life with Jesus, God, and the Holy...
Agnosticism is the belief that the existence of God is not knowable or the doubt of God’s existence.
To understand better, agnosticism is like going on a sailboat and believing that what pushes the boat is not knowable, simply because wind can’t be seen.
Sometimes, I sit and wait for a message I know I will never receive. I’m the king of wishful thinking.
forget everything you’ve ever heard and everything people have told you; listen to your heart.

I always wonder if you think about me.
and if it’s even close to how much I think about you.

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with God. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand.
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son? Student: Yes, sir. Professor: So, you believe in God? Student: Absolutely, sir. …

This is my desire,
consume me like a fire,
‘cause I just want
something beautiful
to touch me.
I know that I’m in reach,
‘cause I am down on my knees.
I’m waiting for
something beautiful.
There is nothing left for me in this town. The only thing this town has to offer me is a free education, and I can get that in a lot of other places.
Why am I here?
I cannot wait until I meet a girl that will make me leave all these others behind. One that is worth this wait. One that will love me, despite my downfalls.
I will wait for her. She will be worth it. It will mean everything to her and I’ll lose myself in her.
Fancy me with some views. I'm stuck at 499. →

You are a beautiful soul.
I want to meet a girl I like so much, that sleeping with her is the last thing on my mind.

I just need to write this. Even though the majority of what I post on this blog is art, this was originally and is still an outlet for me. Every time I follow a blog, I do so with the understanding that behind those pictures, or whatever it may be, is a person, a person who at…

deeper-waters-deactivated201112 asked: I heard from a preacher once that if you don't meet resistance, if you don't have people who are against you like they were to Jesus, then you're doing something wrong. It sounds a little bit extreme but you seem like the type of person who might appreciate this like I did. It gave me confidence to keep fighting and keep doing what I believe is right, and I hope it does the same for...
Needing Proof?
People often dismiss religion because they say there is no proof. They say there is no way to prove it. However, just as many criminal cases, there were eye witnesses that walked and talked with Jesus Christ. Some of the most important words (in my eyes) in the Bible are found in 1 John 1: 1-3:
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which...

Love is what this world needs.
I despise how people demean religion and Christians.
It’s seriously sad when in a debate, you mention ‘God’ and the non-believer immediately downgrades the believer. And not just downgrades the believer, but just straight up emotionally crashes the believer. What’s even worse is the whole time they are demeaning that person for stating their beliefs, they are arguing that...

not believing in homosexuality and homophobia are two totally different things.
that’s like saying believing in ghosts and phasmophobia (fear of ghosts) are the same things.
if you would stop being so critical and close-minded about things, you’d see that.

A Proclamation
You gave Your life for us.
In Your name, we place our trust.
We will walk by faith, not by sight.
So, Jesus, give us your eyes.
We are washed by Your blood.
We are held by the Arms of Love.
We are saved by Your Grace
And we long to see Your Face.
You lived Your life free of sin.
You left, but You’re coming again.
Until that day, we live for you.
For Your Glory, everything we do.
We are...
It's been awhile.
I haven’t wrote in a while and I’ve missed it.
Anyways:
Since New Year’s weekend, I’ve been thinking hardcore about my future girlfriend/wife. I put that slash in there because I’m not sure if I’ll have no girlfriends, one girlfriend, or ten girlfriends before I get married. I hope at least one, but that’s up to Him.
For some time I’ve been...
