A Broken Christianity.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

- Psalm 133:1

Hear me please church.

We are not a people united.

We have become so broken and that is breaking me.

I once read a book by Perry Stone and he talked about how Satan and his demons are more organized than we are as Christians and that wrecked me.

Satan and his demons have three goals: steal, kill, and destroy.

It should also be that simple for us, we were told to love our neighbor and go make disciples.

Why are we not focused?

Why are we not as organized as the Devil?

Why do we not love our neighbor?

We as a church have fallen apart.

We are broken into denominations and arguing over whether we should be drinking grape juice or wine at communion when that is far from the point.

Please church can we love each other? How are we going to be able to love the lost if we can’t even love ourselves as one people.

We serve the same good Father, can we just rejoice in that together?

Is our God not bigger than our differences?

Just for a moment can we stop being a religion and be a faith? Just for a moment can we make Him greater as we become less? Just for one single moment can we swallow our pride and love our brothers and sisters?

Church, hear this. As Jesus was dying, after He was nailed to a tree, He looked at us then to His Father and said, “Forgive them, they know not what they do.” If Jesus can love the ones who ripped flesh from His back and hammered nails into His hands, why can’t we love the ones who disagree with us but love the same God? Do you see how small it is to hate your fellow Christian?

Please, church feel convicted because my heart is in pieces over this.

My dear brother,

My dear sister,

I do not care who you voted for,

I do not care what denomination you are,

I love you more than I could ever put into words.

Will you give love in return? Will you love me despite what we may agree or disagree on? Will you take my hand and bow with me? Please, will you just love Jesus with me?

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- 1 Corinthians 13:13

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
