God’s Commandments are not Burdensome: A Visual Lesson

October 2, 2019

“But Christianity is so boring and burdensome Sarah. It’s just a list of things you can’t do while everyone else is out having fun.”

I have heard statements like these over the years in my work with teenagers, and honestly, it breaks my heart. It reveals many things, but one in particular is that they think God’s laws and commandments are a burden to carry, instead of a way that actually allows them to walk in freedom.

The Bible even attests to this in 1 John 5:3 which states, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.”

In today’s vlog, I show you the visual that I use with individuals and audiences to show that the commandments of God are, in fact, not burdensome. PLEASE, PLEASE watch below!

Two Truths to Remember When Christmas isn’t Merry

December 15, 2018

The Christmas season is portrayed as a glorious time of love, celebration, and cheer. That’s why when I heard the song “I Hate Christmas Parties” by Relient K for the first time when I was in college, it made me immediately stop and think.

The final lyrics of the song say, “I hate Christmas parties. You offer me some punch, but I just shrug. I hate Christmas parties. You and the cookie tray both hear me say ‘Bah! Humbug!’”

Although the song is sad, it points to a truth that many people attempt to ignore during the holiday season: sometimes, Christmas just isn’t merry or bright.

Moses, Face Filters, & Hiding the Truth: A Breakdown of 2 Corinthians 3:12-18

November 28, 2018

Did you know that “face filters” are mentioned in the Bible? Seriously!

In case you didn’t know, Moses used a type of face filter, a veil actually, and it is discussed in 2 Corinthians 3:12-18. This vlog is extremely fitting in today’s culture because we are really good at putting filters on ourselves. In fact, when we don’t use them, people specifically put #nofilter.

The vlog is a little over five minutes and I think almost anyone can glean something from it. 🙂 Watch and think!
