The Problem with Revenge

Mass shootings and innocent people losing their lives in the name of terrorism has always been something that’s hard for me to process. You see it in news headlines all the time, but I’ll never understand a human being thinking that another person’s life is worthless. Now that I’m a mother, it’s even harder to see news stories and online articles about bombings, school massacres, and gunmen opening fire in a public place.

One thing you hear often is “That person or group deserves to be murdered the same way they took the lives of those other people. I hope they rot in hell.”

It cuts me to my core to see that someone can take pleasure in the idea that a murderer might experience torment in hell for eternity. I say “might” because we have no idea where people will stand with Christ before they exhale their last breath. That’s how awesome God is! We are all sinners and none of us deserve to go to Heaven, but we have our whole lives to repent and turn to God. We should be so grateful for this, and wish for everyone to have this chance.

Promo Tuesday with Shirley Alarie

Promo Tuesdays is where we highlight our brothers and sisters who are moving through ministry and small business while spreading the gospel as the Lord leads. Please support them by checking out their website and social media.

Shirley

The writing bug has bitten a few members of my family, and my Aunt Shirley Alarie is the proud author of four non-fiction books. In the past few years (following a recovery from breast cancer), she’s been penning title after title, all in the hopes of helping others and providing resources through her personal experiences. To say she’s an inspirational writer is an understatement, and there are more books on the way that she’s currently developing with no sign of slowing down. You can purchase her latest book “A New Home for Dominick” here.

Fashion Friday: His and Hers Black and White

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

One of the most basic, but utterly impactful monochromatic looks you can put together is the classic black and white duo. Having several black and white articles of clothing you can pair together in a rush is such a great way to save you time, or to help you when you have absolutely no motivation to get dressed that day (been there, done that). Have you paired these colors together recently? We’d love to see!

Questions to Ask Before Walking Down the Aisle

We’re doing a series on dating and relationships. Join the conversation! Are there any specific topics you’d like us to write about? (This article was originally written in December of 2015 for Project Inspired, a website that encourages Christian teenage girls all over the world. Thank you for reading!)

So you’ve found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. You have similar interests, you both love the Lord and you’re head over heels for your guy. What more do you need to know before you walk down the aisle?

A lot, actually. Just like a job interview, an employer would want to know that his or her prospective employee is properly qualified to fill the position.

Yes, it can be awkward to ask things you don’t really feel you have the right to know, but if you’re truly going to spend the rest of your lives together, there are some things you should inquire about in order to start off on the right foot. Premarital counseling will help with some of these, but not every couple goes though an intensive session that uncovers possible conflict-causing topics. You can ask these over dinner, during a walk at your favorite park or over the phone if that seems to cause less pressure and anxiety.

Funny Friday: Babies

God has a sense of humor and so do we. Let’s get the weekend started with a good laugh!

Who doesn’t like babies? Who does’t like jokes? Well, we’ve got both here. If babies could talk, this is probably what they’d say.

1) And the baby stories will never stop.

Baby1

2) Apparently, we think babies love high pitched voices.

3) Thankful for those diapers, even though babies hate putting them on.

4) Who needs sleep anyways?

5) Wow, what a brave one.

Why Wait to Have Sex Until Marriage?

We’re doing a series on dating and relationships. Join the conversation! Are there any specific topics you’d like us to write about? (This article was originally written in July of 2015 for Project Inspired, a website that encourages Christian teenage girls all over the world. Thank you for reading!)

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. (1 Corinthians 6:18)

I waited until I was married to have sex. In fact, I wore a purity ring for years that was eventually replaced by my engagement ring because I was sure that decision was the right one for me. It’s important to make this choice for yourself and not judge other people who haven’t done the same. I definitely had the desire to be intimate, as any young woman with a pulse might, so I was constantly asked why I was saving my virginity for my future husband.

This subject is a very personal one, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation for whatever you choose to do. However, if you feel the need to respond, it’s best to do it with the spotlight on yourself and your personal convictions instead of simply saying “Everyone should do this because God wants us to.” Keeping God’s commands is very important, but it’s also good to know and share the benefits of abiding by His word.

Promo Tuesday with Jeevo

Promo Tuesdays is where we highlight our brothers and sisters who are moving through ministry and small business while spreading the gospel as the Lord leads. Please support them by checking out their website and social media.

I haven’t met many Christian musicians with such a burden for the lost. Jeevo is one of them. As a humanitarian and minister, music is just one of the many mediums he uses to spread the gospel. He’s been releasing albums consistently since 2008, and his boldness and confidence in the Lord is a major reason to be excited about his upcoming concert happening next month. I’ve provided the flyer, please share and invite others to come.

Fashion Friday: Accessories for Him

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

Accessories for men have been around for a long time, but if you’re usually a t-shirt and jeans kind of a guy, where do you start? There are so many amazing brands that offer hats, scarves, bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses, bags, etc. and the key is to make it look effortless. If you normally never wear anything other than a watch, maybe some of the examples here will be a guide of what to buy next and how to rock it.

In Love,

-L’amour In Christ
