In 2016, the Skyscraper, a 570ft roller coaster will open in Orlando! I am not a person that can take rides on roller coasters; not because I am afraid, but mainly because my body cannot handle the motion constantly changing. Years ago, I was convinced by a friend that I should go on a this...

How Do You Know Your Repentance Worked?

posted by Ryan

I used to “repent” and feel so bad when I messed up, asking God to forgive me. I used to think that He would end up coming back the moment that I just sinned and without enough time to repent and ask for forgiveness, I would go to hell. I had very little knowledge of the scripture. When I came to understand repentance, things changed.

Fear is not normal. Fear is a prison. I used to be bound by fear. Religion is a great proponent of fear.

Fear is the opposite of love and has no positive...

I was a Methodist.

posted by Ryan

I wasn’t really a Methodist in the way we think, but I did follow a method. Oh, the simplicity of the Gospel. Jesus has a way of revealing Himself when you truly think you are doing what He wants. I used to struggle and strive to connect with Jesus. I would sing at the top of my lungs,...
