ELIZABETH WRITES: How do you feel about God or Jesus representations? Like the ones BlimeyCow do in their videos to be sarcastic? I was just wondering what you guys thought about that subject. I know some people who consider it un-Christian and some who consider it completely harmless. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

“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...
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!

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...
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...
SETH WRITES: Should we as Christians play video games that are deemed violent (e.g., Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield, etc.)? Should we even spend our time on video games at all? Video games aren’t reality, I know, and may or may not affect our real-life decisions, but they are a significant and demanding part of our society today. There are so many genres in the video game industry, and...
CLARE WRITES: Recently many large companies (e.g. Walmart, Target, JC Penny, Starbucks) have promoted immorality such as abortion and homosexuality. The primary forms of promotion are either commercials featuring people living such lifestyles or donating portions of the company’s capital to such organizations. Most Christians would never directly fund an abortion, but what about funding a...
Where to go to college? That’s a big question facing many teens today. Our culture places huge importance on a college education, and the college years are often a time when many grow tremendously in their faith. Choosing whether or not to attend college in the first place is a major decision to consider. But if you’ve decided going to college is the wisest choice for you, many more hard...
AMANDA WRITES: When someone says something encouraging to me, I usually fall into one of two traps: 1) Idolizing the person and thinking they are absolutely beyond amazing just because they said this one thing to me, or 2) Falling into complacency, thinking, “If so-and-so thinks that highly of me, then I’m doing pretty good — no need to worry about improving or changing anything...
At a nursing home the other day, I noticed this scenario develop: An elderly gentleman with mental confusion was concerned that his old pickup truck was outside with the windows open. He put on his coat and was headed for the door when one of the employees, Rajan, walked up to him. The patient explained his concerns, and Rajan, seeing that the gentleman was not to be dissuaded, only said, “Okay...
