Praying, tithing and singing are limited ways to worship the God who created us. Some people go to church to get something out of worship instead of giving back. Restricting worship to one certain way is harmful to a relationship with God.
Where in the Bible does it specifically say there is only one [...]

Many forms of suffering cause people to question God. They should know that it is okay to ask God questions. He commands His creation to seek Him in His word. Isaiah 45:19 says, “I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek [...]

First down, fourth down and touchdown are three football terms that any girl should know and understand if she is going to try to watch the sport. While I was growing up, my father did not teach me much about football, but there was someone who did. Around the age of 12, I [...]

As the holidays approach, so many people are concerned only about themselves. Thanksgiving has become a holiday where you stuff yourself until you are too fat to do anything, and ladies are preparing to rip each others’ eyes out the next day to get Christmas presents.

Picture this: an opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ one-on-one with a very large community of people. Not many people would turn that down. Now imagine if it were completely free. Does that sound too good to be true? No way!
The opportunity is right in front of you, right down [...]

Since last semester, Fox News has made it clear that it desires to deliver accurate information to the public, even if it goes against President Barack Obama’s wishes. Fox is one of a few news networks to not worship at Obama’s feet, and Mr. President is not happy.

I guess I won’t be getting my money back. My ring came in the spring of 2008, and I married the love of my life on May 30, 2009. So I guess I’m not exactly an authority when it comes to giving marriage advice, but I figured I’d share some things I’ve [...]

During the last election, President Obama recited well-rehearsed speeches to the Jewish community and pro-Israel Americans to ensure their votes and support. Lately though, it seems that the President is looking for a reason to terminate the United States’ relationship with Israel.
“Part of being a good friend is being honest. And I think [...]

Every day through television, the Internet, and the radio, Americans are bombarded with thousands of images about why their bodies are not good enough. From watching tiny girls on reality television shows winning the competitions to the latest fad diet, it seems impossible to see oneself as beautiful.

It’s all over the place. You hear it mentioned on the nightly news at least weekly. It’s on billboards. It’s driving in front of you. It’s stamped on the bottom of your water bottle.
It’s a reminder to “go green.” Turn off the lights, save water, buy a hybrid, recycle. These are things [...]

If it seems like college students are getting younger and younger every semester, that assumption is correct: they are. Each semester, more and more high school juniors and seniors are opting to take dual enrollment classes at their local colleges to receive both high school and college credit.

Most Christians have heard about the spiritual armor listed in Ephesians 6. Even if you did not grow up in church, odds are you have heard a chapel message about the armor of God while here at North Greenville. But many Christians today have let one important weapon become rusty with disuse.

North Greenville University: “Where Christ makes the difference.” Every student within this campus is familiar with the University’s slogan. It is constantly printed and sported on T-shirts, notebooks and even sweatpants.
My original intention with this article was to lecture the student body about the difference Christ can make on a Christian campus, if [...]

Ever since I turned 18, I have been interested in getting a tattoo. I knew that I wanted it to represent my love for Jesus, so I did some research. This led me to multiple Web sites that provided some seemingly sound explanations as to why Christians should not get tattoos. Why [...]

The more someone tells me not to do something, the more I want to do it.
This attitude can describe many students, including me. It’s just human nature, something found in our inherent sinful makeup. Rules are something we try to ignore or get around if we can.
But this view towards rules that [...]
