Strength for the Struggle against Stinky Feet

I am not going to say whether she is a boy or a girl, but I go to school with a certain young individual with long hair and feminine features who can empty an entire bus by simply taking her shoes off. The odor of her stinky feet is unexplainable and unprecedented. The smell, at times, is extremely unordinary, an odd combination that the local scientists say is more powerful than a nuclear bomb, more harmful than Ebola, and more powerful than a herd of buffalo. But that’s just the opinion of the science people. Right? We wholeheartedly agree with their diagnosis.
As I pen these words in recollection of the horrific times our college has had to endure this difficult trial, I am comforted by the fact that God will reward those who remain faithful to him during the midst of overwhelming circumstances. Somehow, someway, we have survived these close encounters with death to tell the story. Who knows if we will be able to survive any more episodes? Only God. By his grace, we remain alive, and only through his grace will we be able to receive our crown of life.
Undoubtedly, you have experienced a similar situation (although there is no way your encounter could be as catastrophic as mine). How did you handle yourself? Did you respond in fear, which resulted in the lengthening of the horror? Or did you meet this pernicious foe with an unwavering courage, acting like a boss? Friend, I encourage you this day not to be weak in the face of (or in the feet of) this putrid aroma. Be brave, be resolved, be determined not to be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Wage a valiant warfare against all guilty perpetrators, for our victory is imminent and sure if we stick together!

    1 Corinthians 10:13 King James Version (KJV)

    13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Why Snoring Is a Sin

Because I am oblivious to this world while I'm asleep, I cannot state with absolute certainty that I don't snore. I trust I don't. Snoring is an abomination in the ears of God. It deprives precious children of God of the necessary sleep for a happy, healthy existence. It forces a person to contemplate the meaning of life as he lies in bed plotting the demise of this evil snorer. In short, I hate snoring. Here are two reasons why snoring is a sin. The first reason snoring is a sin is that it provokes people to anger. The Bible instructs its readers to not be a stumbling block for another Christian. Every Christian can agree that snorers test their sanctification. Maybe this is God's way of drawing us nearer to him? I hardly think so. Snorers must repent of their wicked sins! The second reason is that most snorers are overweight. How do most people become fat citizens of the human race? They eat too much. Eating too much is known in biblical terminology as gluttony. T

We Are in the Last Days.... And So Was the Early Church

Image
  Having grown up around the Christian faith, I have heard throughout my entire life that we are living in the last days. This was often accompanied by an exhortation to prepare our lives for Christ's return. Generally, this topic would be emphasized when something bad had occurred or was occurring: a devastating natural disaster, a presidential figure who embodied the ultimate demise of America (because America isn't mentioned in end-time prophecy, right?), and the increasing lawlessness in our civilization. Inevitably, an appeal would always be made to the "perilous times" that Paul said would be present in "the last days" (2 Timothy 3:1). What I have come to understand is that this emphasis on the fact that we are living in the last days is true, but it's incomplete. It's accurate, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Why? Simply put, according to a careful reading of the New Testament, the last days is a period of time from the birth, life, d

The Six Components of Contagious Content

In a recent blog post, I referred to a book entitled Contagious: Why Things Catch On, written by Jonah Berger, who is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Today, I would like to offer a brief summary of the book and give his six reasons for why ideas, products, and behaviors catch on. But, before I introduce those six qualities, let me give a brief story that highlights the importance of reading and how one book can alter your life. Berger unashamedly admits that the inspiration for his career came from Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. If you haven't read The Tipping Point , you need to find a copy. It's pure gold. The point of this short paragraph is to ask you, "What's the one book which will inspire you to make an impact on the world?" Never stop reading. The next book could be transformative. Without further ado, Berger centers his book on describing the STEPPS to contagious content. Social currency.  People have
