The Seven Truths that every Christian should Know
1. Faith requires testaments and trails and tribulations: we will endure hardships/diversities as a challenge to our beliefs/faith.
2. Violation of God's Word isn't justified by imperfection: regardless of what imperfections we suffer from, we must repent for our sins; God's Word and His Laws requires it: we should also have enough respect to care whether or not we are sinning.
3. A solid foundation in God's Word is important in preserving God's Word: transitioning from growing up as a Christian to the “real world” is filled with testaments, trails and tribulations, and that requires our foundation to be strong/sturdy: without it, The Word of God gets stolen from us; we need to preserve and persevere our positive attributes throughout time: a daunting task, indeed.
4. God can't be blamed for the free wills of others: people will always sin, people will always exercise their freedoms for destructive purposes, and people will always blame God for these unfortunate effects; however, it's not God's fault for the works of others; people seem to forget that they love their freedoms without God interfering until something tragic happens.
5. We aren't for the World, therefore, we aren't apart of the World: The World is always going to try and prosecute us, we are always going to endure hardships for the Glory of God, we won't ever be accepted during this life, and we should be happy to endure all of this for Jesus' sake: just as Jesus has endured all of it for us. By following the Word of God, we aren't going to have perfect lives always full of contentment; we are going to have to endure going against the World and it's sins: Doing good doesn't mean that your the effects will not be full of difficulties.
6. The two greatest commandments which all of God's law hangs from:
Matthew 22:37-40
King James Version (KJV)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Christians often forget that Love is at the heart of God's Word/Law, and that we shouldn't allow hate to prosper/flourish within our souls/hearts; that by following these two commandments, we are fulfilling God's Law, and by going against it, we are violating his Word. Christians need to realize that we shouldn't nitpick people over the triviality of imperfection, but honor God's greater commandments always with all of our souls and minds. By doing this, we put forth good fruits that will flourish.
7. To represent God, not only through his Word, but also by becoming a living example of His Word/Testaments: Christians often forget that God's Word can't be forced/crammed down people's throats; that it's a personal decision that they have to make. Let's not push our beliefs unto people without ears to hear, or eyes to see: that's just futile. We can demonstrate the Truth of God's Word by becoming a living example and testament to it; this is far more effective, and far more Godly than trying to deprive others of freewill and choices: this is what we should strive for.

0 Prayer for Guidance and Strength

Anthony Souls
Mold my heart into a diamond, that I should be strong
mold my soul into a sun, that I should be Godly
mold my mind into a dream, that I should know faith
mold all these into one, that I should be love and light
that I should be greater than the sum of one
Let my heart sparkle, like diamond and light
let the sun reign down upon me and take away the darkness, I fight
let my dreams be faithful and pure like the Word of God
and let me be that which I am, throughout it all
mold my soul into a sun, that I should be Godly
mold my mind into a dream, that I should know faith
mold all these into one, that I should be love and light
that I should be greater than the sum of one
Let my heart sparkle, like diamond and light
let the sun reign down upon me and take away the darkness, I fight
let my dreams be faithful and pure like the Word of God
and let me be that which I am, throughout it all

0 I am who I am, spiritual quote

Anthony Souls
You can't just be walked on, over and over and over, again and again and again, without doing something to defend yourself and protect yourself; sometimes we have to stand up when no one is on our side, when the whole world stands before you and say: enough is enough, I am who I am.
0 Against the World, christian quote
Posted By
Anthony Souls
People think that going against them is like going against God, but what they don't seem to fathom is: you are not evil for going against them, you are only evil for going against God's Word; they think that dissatisfying them in anyway is inherently evil, but that is not the case; you can tell them the truth, follow God's Word, do things which they don't like, and it won't make you evil for doing it: God's Word (Jesus' Word) is the only word you need to follow to determine if you are good or evil, no one else's.
0 Difficulty with Morality, spiritual quote

Anthony Souls
The difficulty with morality is that it interweaves throughout every aspect of your life; it forces you to choose between enduring hardships or going against your rules and character; it teaches you lessons that define who you are, and makes it difficult to uphold those principles through every challenge in life; yet, it is worth it and will always be worth it.

3 Christian poem about faith

Anthony Souls
Our relationship will stand strong
like watching a sunrise spring fourth
from the darkness we've known for so long
We shall wait for God's love
to touch and ripple throughout our lives
like a rock upon still water
within the weakness we will become strong
Like a prayer sent up to heaven
like a praise sprouted out in song
our eyes will become stronger
with each flash of dawn
Our bond will grow like sunflowers
with our lives becoming a trail of seeds
that drops upon the earth
and sprouts fourth good deeds
Our hunger will become spiritual
our cries will turn into praise
like the thunder that calls out in the heavens
lightening will fuel our days
Let us be as lightening rods
in a dark world that has gone astray
let us glorify God
as tribulations drops like rain
like watching a sunrise spring fourth
from the darkness we've known for so long
We shall wait for God's love
to touch and ripple throughout our lives
like a rock upon still water
within the weakness we will become strong
Like a prayer sent up to heaven
like a praise sprouted out in song
our eyes will become stronger
with each flash of dawn
Our bond will grow like sunflowers
with our lives becoming a trail of seeds
that drops upon the earth
and sprouts fourth good deeds
Our hunger will become spiritual
our cries will turn into praise
like the thunder that calls out in the heavens
lightening will fuel our days
Let us be as lightening rods
in a dark world that has gone astray
let us glorify God
as tribulations drops like rain

In conclusion, I leave you with this thought: I rather be born a sinner, and grow with God each and everyday, than to be born of perfection, and grow apart.

Are You a Christian...
...that believes the Bible to be the inspired word of God?
This is an interesting question- I really hate calling myself a Christian because of the stigma associated with it (Maybe hate is too strong of a wrong, lol). A lot of Christians have lived the exact opposite of Christ and yet, calls themselves Christians; for this reason, I dislike the term as abused by others. What I rather say is: I adhere to be Christ-like :) Or, I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost and try to follow His teachings.
In any event, I strayed from the question: yes, I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, but, lately I rely more on the knowledge that the Holy Ghost provides me with (that lives inside of me). When you have the Holy Ghost inside of you, you can gain insight from Him, and gain help with reasonings that are circumstantial in nature (or in conflict).
As a tip for other Christians, the greatest commandment from God is to love; I think that no matter what the sin, no matter what the disagreement, we should fall back on love to bridge ourselves with others. For example, it would be silly to not help someone on Sabbath day, just because you are suppose to rest.
In conclusion, I leave you with this thought: I rather be born a sinner, and grow with God each and everyday, than to be born of perfection, and grow apart.
Take care,

our worlds inside
Inside of ourselves
we are as false gods
to these worlds of fantasy and make believe
that holds our intangible souls
and we try to impress our reign
on this world of Gods
