Christmas
Like every other baby, He was birthed in groanings, blood, and cries. In a manger, his audience was mainly lambs. But heaven's light shone, and we heard the angels sing: “Hosanna! Blessed be the name of our King!” Centuries later, and the birth of Yeshua the Anointed is still a memory we can’t do away with. What happened nine months after the word of the Lord came unto Mary in that day is of eternal relevance to the world and all of humanity. It is celebrated every the 25th of December all over the world, but why? Not just why December, but also why celebrate it at all? Is Christmas beyond a dogmatic celebration? Christmas As A Holiday Christmas as a traditional holiday dates back as far as A.D 273. Two pagan holidays were celebrated on that day to honor the sun, so this holiday might have started then to...

Is There Hope For Me?
As humans, we go through various phases in our lives, times that, mostly when looking back, feel like they represented very different but significant elements of our existence. There usually comes a time where we start to question what the use of our presence on earth is. With the risk of sounding dramatic that I assure you is not taken lightly, many of us reach a point that feels like an existential crisis. We might not feel like our very existence might be compromised, but rather we might question the very essence of our existence in the first place. As human beings reach adulthood, life suddenly becomes more real, and we are faced with the sudden realization that we might have to make something of ourselves. We feel like our existence has to mean something; otherwise, we're not doing it right. At this point, many of us decide to dedicate...
I Think I Need Therapy
One truth that cannot be denied is the simple fact that life without good health is barely a life worth living. We can debate on and on about the meaning of life and ponder our purpose on earth, but when our health is not in order, life seems to quickly lose its subjective worth. Even the slightest inconveniences with our well-being can be enough to distract us from every other facet of our life. Bad health consumes us wholly as it should; it is necessary for us to develop tunnel vision when we’re ill in some manner or fashion because it increases the chances that we will take it seriously enough to do something about it if we could. Doing something about it is exactly what we are going to be discussing here. Many have rightfully placed faith that God will provide healing for them, and no medicine could indeed...
Fix My Marriage
It is a wonder why marriage is still a big part of human culture for all the hassle that marriage is known to bring. However, there are a few truths that humans have generally come to accept, at least for most. Some of them are that every man will die someday, somehow, or that life is at its very foundation simply not fair. The sooner people come to realize these truths, the better their experience will be. Another one of those truths, which we will explore today, is that no marriage is perfect. No two people can ever have a smooth and flawless experience throughout their marriage, no matter how much they love each other. Every marriage has its problems regardless of what it looks like on the outside, just like every man has his problems despite what is perceivable by outsiders. And like the other truths of life, things...
