Warding Off Negative Influences From Reaching Your Mind

One major source of negative influences is usually from the well-meaning advice and talk of our immediate family, relatives, friends and acquaintances. Examples of such advice could come when one is about to undertake a venture that he/she believes would be a success.

Youth Ministry Resources – Are They That Important?

I want to try and take a new perspective on the idea of youth ministry resources. Not so far off the deep end that we do not need them. Trust me, I have tried every study and way I can to do away with messy games and other parts of student ministry like that. You know, the things you do every year that work every time but a big part of you prays they do not. Or maybe a better way to look at it is those things you would give to an intern if you had one. But I am not talking about that.

Will I Go To Hell For Not Going To Church?

Many Christians know church as the place you go to worship God. Traditional thinking has a way of making people believe things done and practices followed over the years are biblical and required by God.
