Anonymous asked: Hi there, I'm just needing some prayer.. Next week I am going on a mission trip to a town near the border of Mexico. We will be running a Vacation Bible School in the town, painting houses, and doing a shoe drive for children.. I'm just very nervous about VBS... I will be teaching and I'm just so nervous since I am young.. I just need some prayer because I am so nervous.. Thank you, God Bless!
Hey there!
I am praying for you! You are going to have an amazing time on your missions trip! Don’t be afraid just know that if the Lord didn’t want you to go on this trip you wouldn’t be going. You are going because God has a purpose for you to go. He is going to use you mightily to reach those children! Just open up your mouth and He will fill it! And don’t be afraid because you are young hold onto Jeremiah 1:7 which states, “But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.” I pray Jeremiah 1:9 over you! That the Lord will touch your mouth and put His words in it. Go down there with your head held high knowing you are a child of the most high king and that He will give you the words to say!
I will keep you in my prayers!
God bless you,
-Mariah

And that’s how Jesus calls us to love one another: to love WITHOUT CONDITION

suile-glasa asked: How do you deal with having doubts about God?
Unka Glen answered: Well, awhile back I had me some doubts. And I tried talking to my Christian friends about my doubts, but they were no help, because they were too busy repressing their own doubts to hear mine. Besides they were worried I’d talk us both into disbelief.
So I tried talking to my atheist friends, but I realized they were worried too, about losing their faith in nothing. Who knows, if they doubted all their non-belief, they’d end up, ya know, being a believer. So they weren’t any help.
In the end, there was nobody to talk to except God, and that conversation went a lot like this:
Me: I have, like, doubts about all this stuff.
Him: I get that.
Me: You’re not mad?
Him: Nope. I like to do things on the down-low, so that way people come to me by choice. It’s better for the relationship that way. But it sometimes leads to moments of confusion.
Me: Yeah, I guess I kinda suck at the faith thing.
Him: Well, I can just give you the faith, that’s how it’s supposed to work anyway.
Me: Right on. I can dig that.
Him: I knew that you could.
Me: It’s just that sometimes things really look bad.
Him: There’s much more to life than what you can see.
Me: Yeah. That makes sense.
Him: But you can always come to me for answers, that’s how that’s supposed to work too.
Me: That sounds like a lot of me coming to you, and like, depending on you.
Him: Now we’re getting somewhere!
Me: Okaaay. You don’t mind me being kind of a hot mess about all this?
Him: I love talking to you about all this stuff, and there’s so much more for us to talk about as well. Don’t worry about your doubts, fears, or stumbles… just focus on keeping us connected. Everything you need will flow from that connection.

The Greatest Man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
