There's a lot of Christian people that are set in their beliefs.

They come up against people that question their beliefs. I am not saying their beliefs in God. Because it's wrong to question God and His word. But what I am saying is...there are many Christian people that are set in beliefs on certain topics.

Some topics that they hold as gospel, but they're not clear in scripture.

If your belief can't be backed up with scripture (or you use a scripture out of context)

then this is wrong, and it has to stop. I see so many Christians that are done learning.

They are happy with how they believe. They have arrived. 

To change their belief on something will state that they were wrong about something. And pride can get in the way of that.

So my two questions for you are... Are your beliefs clear in scripture? And, are you done learning? 

There's a whirlwind of different beliefs out there, each denomination claiming to have the truth. But how can they all be right when they're saying different things? The answer is simpler than you might think: there's only one truth, and that's found in the word of God.

Many of these denominations base their teachings on someone's personal interpretation of scripture, which is why they end up with conflicting viewpoints. But here's the thing: the Bible is the same for everyone. So, instead of relying on others to tell us what it means, we need to read it for ourselves.

My parents taught me this from a young age. They encouraged me to dive into the Bible, to ask questions, and to search for answers within its pages. Sadly, not all denominations promote this independent study. Some just want us to accept what they say without question.

But how can we truly understand God's message if we don't ask questions and seek answers for ourselves? We should always encourage each other, to search the Bible for the truth.

It's hard to build a personal relationship with God when we're constantly being told what to believe. And in a world filled with so many different teachings, it's easy to feel lost. But I've realized that I can't rely on any denomination to have all the answers.

That's why I stand by the Bible. It's the ultimate source of truth. So, I read it, I ask questions, and I find answers. I tune out all the noise and focus on what the Bible actually says.

In a world where deception is rampant, it's more important than ever to read the Bible for ourselves. So, I urge you to do the same. Don't just accept what others say about the word—make sure it lines up with what the word actually says. That's the only way to find the truth.

Hello everyone, whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, welcome!

I'm Breana, a content creator on YouTube. Feel free to check out my channel, where I share vlogs, faith-based content, videos of my mom singing, and podcast episodes.

But let's shift focus. Today, I want to share how stepping away from social media platforms has impacted my mood and perspective on life.

I decided to disconnect from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and the difference in how I feel is remarkable.

• 1. Reduced stress: Constantly seeing updates about others' lives, even when they're positive, used to overwhelm me. Comparing myself to others often left me feeling inadequate. Now, I'm no longer weighed down by that pressure.

• 2. Improved mood: Without the constant influx of information and comparison, my mood has significantly improved. I feel lighter and more content.

• 3. Increased free time: Disconnecting from social media has given me so many hours that I can now spend more time with my family.

• 4. Revealed true friendships: Stepping away from social media has helped me distinguish between genuine friends who actively check in on me and superficial connections who show little interest in my well-being.

Overall, disconnecting from social media has been a positive change, allowing me to prioritize my mental health and relationships with loved ones.

So that's my experience with getting off of social media.

 Good job David! Thank you for sending us your masterpiece.

As a Maltese dog owner, you understand the importance of keeping your furry friend looking their best. The Maltese breed is known for its beautiful, long, silky coat that requires regular grooming to maintain its health and appearance. 

I was doing Abby's haircuts from home. But it's been taking hours for me to do.

And I wasn't doing a good job at it. I kept getting her too short. And I couldn't get between her toes.

Abby hates having hair between her toes. She tries to pull the hairs out everyday.

Abby's groomer charges 33 dollar for her to be fully groomed. So I decided to get her personally groomed every other month.

The month I don't take her in, I'll give her a bath and brush her all out.

I feel good about taking her to be professionally done.

It takes a lot of pressure off of me.

Abby is scheduled for January of 2024. But I'm hoping there will be a cancellation in November. 

Because I already groomed her for this month.

Abby loves her groomer, and I know her groomer is going to be happy to see Abby.

Here are four different haircuts. Which one do you like best. This time I'm going to have Abby cut like number one.

Sometimes, we have to wait for things, like a surprise gift or a special event. Did you know that even in the Bible, it talks about waiting for God? Let's explore some simple verses that teach us about patience and faith when we have to wait for God.

1. Isaiah 40:31:  "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

This verse says that when we trust in God and wait for Him, He gives us the strength to do amazing things, just like eagles can soar in the sky without getting tired.

2. Psalm 27:14:  "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."

This verse tells us to be strong and brave while waiting for God. He will help us, and we don't need to be afraid.

3. Lamentations 3:25-26: "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord."

This part of the Bible says that when we hope in God and wait for His help, it's a good thing. God takes care of those who trust in Him.

4. Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Here, we learn that we should trust God with all our hearts and not try to figure everything out on our own. 

5. Romans 8:25: " But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."

This verse reminds us that waiting is part of hoping. When we hope for something with patience, it means we believe it will come true, even if it takes a little while.

When we have to wait for something, we can remember these Bible verses. They teach us that waiting for God is a way to show we trust Him. So, don't worry if you have to wait sometimes. God is with you, and His timing is always right.

Hi there! I want to tell you about my awesome dog, Abby. She's a Maltese, and she's my best friend. Here's some facts about Abby my Maltese.

Fact 8. **Training Troubles:** While Abby's great now, some Maltese puppies can be tricky to potty train. It takes patience and lots of trips outside. I have never trained a puppy. I've owned Abby since she was four. So I'm unsure how hard it was to train her.
