    <title>Love Each Other</title>
    <link>http://www.the-modern-christian.com/Christian-blog.html#Love-Each-Other</link>
    <description>Sometimes Christians, myself included, get caught up in judging each other. They look at the sin that someone else is engaging in and pass judgment. 

I'm going to challenge you to avoid this temptation. Paul said in the Bible that he doesn't even know his own heart sometimes. How can he even begin to know someone else's heart?

Many times, our constant judging and &quot;looking down our nose&quot; at others leads to animosity and hatred towards Christianity. If you'll just take the time to love on people, regardless of what they are doing, you are much more likely to open up doors. After all, isn't that what Jesus did? He's the guy that went to Zacheus' house even though everyone else looked down on him. Try to be more like Christ and leave the judging up to God.</description>

    <title>End Times Mania?</title>
    <link>http://www.the-modern-christian.com/Christian-blog.html#End-Times-Mania?</link>
    <description>If you've turned on the news lately, you know that there is a great deal of turmoil in the world today. If you're also a Christian or if you're familiar with the Bible, you know about some of the things that are talked about in relation to the end times...earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars, famine, etc. 

So does this mean that we are living in the end times? 

The truth is...no one knows. Not Harold Camping, not me and not you. Yes, it seems bad out there, but every generation since Jesus ascended to Heaven has said the same thing. People in the 1800's could have swore that things were so bad, Jesus was surely about to come back. People today say the same thing.

I'm not saying that we are a long way away from the rapture and the end times. All I'm saying is, there is no way that anyone can know, except God. If you have no chance of knowing, what is the point of sitting around worrying about it or looking for signs of it happening? There is none.

Instead of exerting even a single ounce of energy worrying about these things (which is a sin by the way) why not spend your time trying to live your life and win souls to Christ? If you die...so what? When you give your life to Christ, you know what's coming next. 

Try to live your life in regards to what will happen after you die. I'm not trying to preach here, because I'm just as guilty of this as anyone. I just know that I struggle with these issues myself and I assume other Christians do as well. 

So tonight, instead of worrying about whether we're living in the end times, spend some time thinking about the awesome moments that God has given you in the &quot;present times&quot; taking place right now. Tell God thank you and make an effort to do everything you do to the glory of God. The rest will take care of itself.</description>

    <title>If I Have Not Love...</title>
    <link>http://www.the-modern-christian.com/Christian-blog.html#If-I-Have-Not-Love...</link>
    <description>Love is one of the most important factors of our walk with Christ. Many Christians get so caught up in judging everyone that they forget to love them. Jesus wasn't afraid to point out sin in others, but he also wasn't afraid to love the sinners. It doesn't matter if you're friends with a sinner. Your love towards that person could be enough to change his life and get him to see how much Jesus loves him too. Try to focus on loving others when you're out there living life this week.</description>

    <title>Blessings From God</title>
    <link>http://www.the-modern-christian.com/Christian-blog.html#Blessings-From-God</link>
    <description>Hey everyone...I just wanted to take a second to remind everyone to thank God for the many blessings he has given you today. Even when you might think that everything pretty much sucks, I'm sure you can find something to be grateful for. I've got good and bad in my life at the moment. If I chose to dwell on all of the crappy stuff that I have to deal with on a daily basis, I'm pretty sure I would be pretty miserable and would just attract even more problems to myself. Instead, I'm going to make an effort to think about the amazing things God has blessed me with (like my 3rd child this weekend). God likes it when we're grateful and I'm going to choose to look for the good in life. You can be one of those people who are addicted to the 24 hours news cycle of doom and despair or you can step outside, look at the unbelievably beautiful world that God created and just say &quot;Thank You.&quot;</description>

    <link>http://www.the-modern-christian.com/Christian-blog.html#Skillet-is-officially...awesome.</link>
    <description>In case you haven't heard, Skillet is pretty much amazing. In my opinion, they're the biggest and best Christian band in the world today. 

I understand that some of you may not enjoy this type of music. It's pretty hardcore/alternative rock. If you fit into this category, that's totally cool. You have to admit that these guys have the potential to reach millions of people for Christ. There's this stigma out there with a lot of the youth that you can't be &quot;cool&quot; and be Christian. Just watch some of the videos on YouTube of John Cooper from Skillet and see if you agree with that statement. The video link below is for their video &quot;Hero.&quot; Check it out and give them your support if at all possible.</description>

    <title>Words of Encouragement</title>
    <link>http://www.the-modern-christian.com/Christian-blog.html#Words-of-Encouragement</link>
    <description>Today's post is a collection of some words of encouragement from guest contributor Simone Da Costa. She works with the Kay Morris Foundation and is pretty inspirational. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom from her. 

Oh, lift up your head and lift it up high

Do not be troubled, do not be dismayed for this is only for a time and this time will soon pass by

Give GOD glory, honor, praise and worship and watch Him lift you up high

God is the infinite and eternal judge
What others say or think about you is trivial pursuit 

Rejuvenate your strength, renew you mind, 

Re-invigorate your spirit when you pray each day


You should always feed your spirit 
with positive words

Your inner-man will recognize when 
an eatable meal has been served

Who says happy endings are only in fairy tales? 

Pray, believe and wait patiently on God 
and He will make a fairy tale out of you


It’s not in asking you should fear
Fear comes when you don’t ask


Let integrity fashion your character in all walks of life.

As it will shape the person you will become

Do not allow your past hurts, pains, 
displeasures and disappointments
deter your future happiness, joys, 
pleasures and successes
 
Serve your way up to success, not giving it up for success

A Mentee is just as significant as a Mentor

A Mentee listens, a Mentor needs a listener 

How does one succeed? Start by getting to know you.

Unlock the power, the potential in you. 
To bring out the gifts and talents with in you

    <description>Not that we have a music video of the day or anything, but today this video has been playing on repeat. It's a really awesome song and Britt Nicole is pretty amazing in her own right. If you haven't seen her video for &quot;The Lost Get Found,&quot; check it out. You'll be glad you took the 3:35 out of your busy day to watch it. It'll give you the strength you need to be bold today.</description>
