Eternally Minded

      The religion of the "non-religious" and how Christians can share the gospel with them. I was talking to a classmate one day about what she thought happened after a person dies. She said that nothing happens, that she wasn't religious. "You go into the ground and that's it." Our culture is slipping more and more into this belief. I see it everyday. People live for themselves; for the here and now. The physical day to day is all that matters. Religion is viewed like a hobby, a subject to study, or an activity on a to do list. How do we witness to people who believe this? Below are some common statements and questions that come up and how as Christians we can understand and respond to them in the light of Scriptures. Do What Ever You Feel is Right for You. Do what ever you want regardless of the truth and as long as you believe in it, it's right. The heart of the issue is that they are claiming that truth doesn't matter. Bu...

Adam and Eve, the first humans created, committed the first sin at the beginning of time. God had given them a perfect garden in a perfect world, with no sin. He gave them only one rule: not to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which He placed in the center of the garden.

We were to reflect and represent God throughout the whole earth and therefore spread His glory throughout the world. God would walk and talk with us. We would be His people and He would be our G...

Hello! I thought I would start out with a deep topic, and it will kind of give you an overview of what we will be writing about and why. (For clarity’s sake, when I say eternity, I don’t mean a mathematical concept of infinity usually represented by a sideways 8. I mean infinite life after death.) I pray that God uses this to edify you. God has used it to encourage and correct me! Why do we care about eternity? Picture this, you’re going to spend a whole week at a party held by a King or Queen to honour your accomplishment in representing them well, but you only found out a day before you had to leave. What would your thoughts be? Option #1: Hmm, I have one day to relax and do whatever I want before I leave. Maybe I’ll do this or that. Option #2: Sticky Peanut butter! I only have one day to make an impact for the King or Queen on the people around me before I have to go! I had better get ready! I’m guessing, if you’re thinking rationally, you would pick option two. You’re going to...
