To Christians All Over
Keri Ratcliff

When I was in the eleventh grade I had the joy of having to memorize all 50 states, their capitals and locations. It was difficult at first, but I made up random ways to remember them. 50 states in America.

Are you teaching people about the gospel throughout your state?

If not one Christian teaches anyone else in the whole United States, how will the people in other locations ever learn about the Bible? We are told to go out and teach the Bible. Now I'm not saying everyone will be missionaries or travel the country teaching, but how about walking across the street and inviting someone to church? Someone had to teach us, and it's our job to each others. I would hate to know that someone didn't make it to Heaven because I failed to do my job as a child of Christ and teach him. I just wouldn't be able to bear the thought of that.

People are always looking for an excuse to talk to someone--why not stop looking for excuses to talk to them and actually start discussing the Bible? Why not stop inviting people to go to the mall or movies and invite them to go to church with you? Why not stop putting off conversations about the Bible and questions that people have and just face them?

We don't like people to call us cowards or think of us as being wimps, but sometimes we act like it. We are always too scared to talk about the Bible because we think we will look crazy or like weirdos. Seriously, there will always be something weird about you. I don't know what your weird thing is about you, but one of my weird things just happens to be I'm an 18-year-old freshman in college, and I'm obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It is seriously sad when we are so scared about being seen as weird and would rather talk about everything else in the world but the Bible just to keep things "right." There are people in some countries who die every day because they are Christians, and they aren't afraid to teach the word and praise God. Then here we are; we sit around in a free country with freedom of religion in all 50 states, and we struggle with sharing our faith.

All the recent tragedies involved with the group ISIS is truly devastating. They are killing people with no right at all. They don't worship the Holy Bible like Christians do they worship the Koran. Their faith and confidence is making them a huge opponent to Christianity and to freedom.

ISIS IS COMING OVER HERE TO OUR COUNTRY KILLING OUR PEOPLE!!! ISIS IS KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES TAKING THEIR LIVES FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

They are trying to inflict their beliefs on everyone else. They think they are involved with the end of the world. We have to stand for our belief in Jesus Christ. He said that whoever denies Him, He will deny to His Father. Get your life with God today!

Right now more than ever we as Christians need to join hands and be willing to say, "I DO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST. GOD IS MY CREATOR! I AM NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I GO TO A CHURCH OF CHRIST AND THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN!" NEVER DENY THAT YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN. ANYONE CAN BE CONVERTED! SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THE QUESTION IS PRESENTED TO YOU?

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
