The Real Reason You Aren’t Moving Forward

T

“Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.” — Matthew 14:22-23 He wasn’t coming. I wonder if that’s when the fear first lodged in their throats. I wonder if the sons of Zebedee...

Is there anything important left for young people to do?

I

CARSON WRITES: It often seems to me that everything that can be discovered, developed, or invented is already discovered, developed, or invented. And then if there is something to be done, you don’t realize it until someone else does it. What can we do about such a dilemma? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

Introducing Wild:Life — A New YouTube Channel for Young Men (and Young Women Too)

I

​Over the past year or so, God has given me a vision to start a videodcast reaching young people, particularly young men. My brother and I knew of several online or hard copy magazine’s effectively reaching young ladies, but there was nothing for men! Besides, not very many young guys are going to look at a magazine. The Wild:Life Youtube channel is the feeble manifestation of that vision...

Where should guys and girls draw the line on physical contact?

W

AMANDA WRITES: I’ve heard many different viewpoints about how much physical contact is too much before marriage. I’ve seen some people saying that girls should never hug guys, and some people say we shouldn’t touch them at all. I’ve decided not to kiss a guy till my wedding day, but what about other things? Hugs? Holding hands? Is there a specific place we should stop...

Esther Okade, Age 10: College Freshman at Open University

E

(YAHOO) — At 10 years old, most kids spend their free time riding a bike or memorizing “Let It Go” lyrics. But Esther Okade — who, to be fair, does love Frozen — is more interested in writing an algebra workbook for kids and studying for college exams. Esther, a British-Nigerian home-schooled student, started in January as a freshman at the distance learning college Open University, making her...

Should scholarships be the deciding factor in choosing a college?

S

HALEY WRITES: Lately, I’ve heard my friends, when asked what college they’re going to choose, say something along the lines of, “whoever gives me the most money.” The expectation is that you should choose 5 or 6 colleges you would be okay going to and then whoever gives you the most scholarship is the one you go to. But could God be calling us to a certain place, even if...

Hope Through the Storm

H

It’s raining right now, both outside of my house and inside of my life. My family is going through a hard time. Why? We’re churchless. My father was the pastor of our old church for seven and a half years. The church was full of people who loved us and depended on us every week. We were serving constantly, and regardless of how tired it made us, we loved it. It seemed like we would stay there...
