A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi! Well, this month I had a ton of trouble trying to find a topic and I realized one right before I started typing this. Rituals. Almost everywhere, everyone and everything has some kind of ritual. Even if they don’t realize it. Get up, brush teeth, breakfast, chores, school. […]
Yes, you read right. If you have accepted Christ into you heart, you have been adopted by the King of Heaven. As God’s sons and daughters you now posses the keys to an entire kingdom. Just consider the fact that anything you want you can have, states John 15:7: “But if you remain in me […]
Gordon Conwell Seminary, Hamilton, Massachusetts You’ve probably heard the statistics, that 50% of Christians abandon their faith during college. It would seem that many Christian students are not prepared to enter the liberal environment of a secular college classroom, where more than half of all professors view Christians with hostility and take every opportunity to […]
What is living your life for Christ really about? This is a question that frequently comes to mind for me. An inquiry that I know most likely have more than one answer. But after asking for counsel from God and a few of my spiritual leaders I found out that living a Christ led […]
Yesterday I pondered on this sentence (the title of this column) as I prayed for the salvation of three of my supermarket colleagues. What if God sent me to this job just so three of my fellow co-workers could get saved? I am not saying that I am here only for that purpose, but asking rather. This question was inquired in the Bible […]

I had a really bad day and opened up my Bible and was reading about God’s love for us and it hit me that God loves me. There is always another chance for us, at least till we are at the Judgement seat. Despite all I have done wrong He loves me and he loves […]
The Bible describes the true meaning of love in the thirteenth chapter of 1st Corinthians. The Bible was clear in the verse 1 John 8:4 NIV that “…God is love” and we can use Jesus as our perfect example of how we should be here on earth. Verses 4-7 of the Love chapter states, “Love is patient, love is […]

Millie’s Column. For this column, I wanted to write about living a pure life before God and man. David was an honorable and holy man that loved God. In fact, in Psalms 17:8 David asks God to keep him as the apple of HIS eye. So in deciding, I thought who better to teach about […]
A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi guys. So I’ve been thinking of something to use as a theme for this month’s devotional and I had some ideas but I think this time instead of a “theme” I’m going to use verses that I feel are important to our everyday lives. So chances are you […]
Millie’s Column I wanted us for this column to take a deeper look at Psalm chapter 1. David states in verse 1: “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” Wow! It is a joy not to follow the advice […]
A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi guys! I hope you liked my first devotional. If it seemed not so put together I’m sorry. It was my first and I’m getting better at planning. On a different note, this month’s devotion will be on condemnation. Condemnation means: Reject, accuse, blame, smear, object. We’ve all felt […]

Nonfiction Book Review by Libbi God’s Love Letters to You, by Dr. Larry Crabb In this forty day devotional, Dr. Larry went through (obviously) forty different books of the Bible, based off of his book “66 Love Letters”. In that book, he went through each of the books of the Bible, and rewrote it in […]
By Robert Cruz My family has noticed a trend in many churches. The apparent judging of people based on their outward appearance. It has been suggested, by a Pastor I know that the Bible tells us how we should dress and that is partially true. The Bible has a few verses that apply directly to […]

You probably expect this kind of advice coming from me. In my work with CPYU’s College Transition Initiative, I have written and spoken often […]
College Bound Reading List Think about it… a dictionary is a tool that shapes one’s reasoning and knowledge as new words are learned. The worldview of a dictionary’s authors are reflected in their definitions. Does your dictionary reinforce and verify Biblical truths, or does it introduce conflicting values? Webster’s 1821 American Dictionary of the English […]
