The most common misconception of God is a super-powered grouch who hands out salvation sparingly, if at all, and who takes the slightest opportunity to strike down anyone who strays even slightly from the righteous path.
NOTHING could be further from the truth.
Vengeance is God's. He will repay- whether ultimately on the Day of Judgement or intermediately in this life... He can discipline your abusive boss, soften your angry parent. He can bring your ex to his knees or her senses. Forgiveness doesn't diminish justice; it just entrusts it to God. He guarantees the right retribution. We give too much or too little. But the God of justice has the precise prescription. (You'll get through this, by Max Lucado, chapter 11, pg.
By idols, I'm not simply talking about religious statues and objects, those those definitely count. I'm talking about anything that takes your focus off God and His goodness. Anything can technically become an idol; video gaming, sports, food and drink (including but not limited to alcohol), and hobbies, among other things, all count. This isn't to say that one cannot do these things (gaming, hobbies, etc.); it is to say that we should put God as more important than them, and to be willing to
I am a fan of Coke Zero.
Before that, I drank so much Coke you'd be surprised how I'm still standing by some miraculous means. That stuff will literally rot and eventually disintegrate your stomach lining and other nasty stuff, yet the exact health implications are still up for debate, so nothing is proven to worry about yet.
I've been running into this theme lately in the Christian Bronies group (which, despite it's name, allows nonbelievers, including anti-theists, to not only voice their opinions - usually to the detriment of the conversation over all and spreading hostility - but also gives them positions as admins); whenever I, and presumably others, try to promote scientific clues that point to God, someone then comes and accuses us of using this supposed argument while either not countering we offer as proof
There have been a lot of court cases over the past couple of decades, as well as run-ins and incidents in schools, that concern the fact that, everywhere, religion is being made to "be quiet" in public. People are charged with discrimination in court just because they, being private business owners, refuse to make cakes or other baked goods for... festivities that they cannot conscientiously approve of, even though they referred the customer(s) to another store that would sell to them
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know - Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it (Acts 2:22-24 NKJV)
All of us either know someone who is written off as impossible to love, or has seen one in the media. People who act hatefully and in the most infuriating ways and who do evil as a matter of course. I'm speaking of people of the kind of character that really makes others want to hate them, like Tirek from MLP, Mr. Burns from the Simpsons, Megatron from Transformers, and others.
Saw this yesterday, and it seems to me like there are quite a few differences, even if you don't watch this person's other two videos (which go into even greater detail over the differences between Biblical Christianity and the Mormon teachings), the biggest being the LDS idea that there are multiple gods, and that people can become gods, vs the Bible's stand that there is ONE God, and NO other.
Sadly, we are all vulnerable and suffer through difficulties. The world isn't always such a nice place to live. Temptation is behind almost every corner, and the world expects us to remain silent when a "small" wrong is done or when we are told to compromise our beliefs.
On the night of March 11, 2001, Palestinian terrorists entered the home of Ehud and Ruth Fogel and their six children in Itamar,
Gratitude. A word you don't really hear much anymore. In this day and age people tend to think more of their rights and supposed entitlements, and I'm sadly not an exception. We desire and want more and more. It's difficult to stop and be grateful for the things we have, as opposed to being annoyed about what we don't.

Depression is one of the many terrible conditions people suffer under in this world. It might be brought on by traumatic events, by grief and loss, perhaps even extended periods of boredom. It is a spiraling, downward path that tries to suck people into the black hole of oblivion, either by rendering them broken and useless, or convincing them to end, or attempt to end, their existence.
