Where do we draw the line in Christian music?

W

MICHAELA WRITES: When do we draw the line in Christian music? There are Christian musicians that I really enjoy and who have very beautiful music that glorifies God. But lately, I’ve heard one of these musicians include some hard, albeit brief, cursing in one of their songs, deciding to overstep the boundaries of clean Christian music. When he was asked why he did this, he said as bad as it...

How do you respond to the crude language of people around you?

H

Haven WRITES: I am volunteering at a secular sailing camp this summer. A lot of the kids will take the Lord’s name in vain repeatedly throughout the day. The teachers are the same way and I want to respect their authority, because I am only a volunteer. However, I found last summer that just trying to ignore it affects my own language, so I don’t want to do that again. I don’t...

How do I respectfully disagree with authority?

Should I go to a Christian college?

S

ANONYMOUS WRITES: What are the pros and cons of attending a Christian college (or university or seminary) as opposed to a secular school?

What’s on your summer reading list?

W

JAQUELLE WRITES: Summer is one of my favorite times to catch up on some reading. Dr. Albert Mohler just came out with his summer reading list, and I even compiled a list of my own. I know I want to read some heavy theology, some lighter fiction, and some mid-level biographies this summer. What are you planning to read? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!
