Turning The Other Cheek

One of my favourite parables in the Bible is when Jesus says to turn the other cheek. What does that mean exactly? In writing my newest novel, Virulent, it’s been a subject of thought for me, so I thought I’d dig below the surface to find what it truly means.

U2, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For: Yearning for Jesus

The next song I’m going to look at in my single song category is U2’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. I think it’s pretty safe to say that this song has confused many Christians, even I got tripped up on it, thinking maybe Bono didn’t have the Holy Spirit and wasn’t satisfied with Christ.

In entering 2015, and remembering the trials faced in 2014 and the trials we’re about to face, a question has risen that I’m sure many Christians have asked before: does God want me to be happy? The answer is pretty obvious, I’m sure, but sometimes it can look like just the opposite. Sometimes it can look as though God doesn’t want us to be happy. The things we’re going through may look like the Lord wants us to have a tough time, but if seen in the grand scheme of things, it’s quiet the opposite.
