February Fruits

January was a good month huh? While we didn't put out as many fears as we would have liked, I hope that we showed you how to battle them. And that brings us to this month's giant. How do you know that you are showing the fruit of the spirit? I'm sure all of you have heard about these fruits. Not the kind you eat, but the kind that all Christians should display. And I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that have trouble with at least some of them. 

As there are only four weeks and 9 fruits, we'll try to tackle two at once each week. Happy February! 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self- control; against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

The Giant of January

Welcome to the first post of No Matter The Giant! As this new year rolls into town, I thought it would be good to cover some of the major roadblocks (or giants, if you will) in our lives. Our ultimate goal in life is to be happy with God in Heaven, but most times, there are giants there to try to prevent us from achieving this goal. So without further a due, welcome to the new blog No Matter The Giant! Now, every month, my friend Aslan and I will cover one of these giants. Like for this month, we will cover over fear. Each week, Aslan and I will alternate writing on each topic. For January of 2019, we are going to talk about fear. Fear. Let's admit it, it's something we all struggle with. We can be afraid of practically anything. Wikipedia has a nice long list of phobias. I will admit, something of them are extremely silly and maybe not even real, like anatidaephobia, the fear that a duck, somewhere, is watching you. Now if you are someone who is afraid that a duck is stal...

Love with joy.

In today's day and age, it is rather sad to see that the word "love" can only be applied to romance. But was what did Jesus mean when He told his Apostles to "Love one another. As I have loved you, so should you also love one another"? That is what I am going to talk about today. The idea of love isn't just about romance, but more like how we treat others. Think about this, do you love your parents? That isn't the dumb idea of love we have nowadays right? You genuinely love your parents, so you care for them when they need it, you may try to do something to make them smile. If you have a younger sibling (or have young children of your own) do you ever watch as they bring their parent something they accomplished? Think of Christmas time, when you give gifts to your family and friends. That is real love. Real love is when we do something for another to make them smile or feel cared for. Now you may be wondering, "Jesus told us to love our enemies....

Peacefully Waiting

Peace. Something so many people long for. If you have siblings, you know that peace isn't really easy to come by. And in a world full of people, running around at high speeds, chasing down their dreams, with the violence of today's age, peace seems like a myth. Non-existent, we don't think true peace can be achieved. Except that it can. There's a peace that can be found in God if you calm yourself and give everything over to Him, if you listen. Most people might want an answer right away. I know I would. But you have to be patient. Patience is probably the hardest fruit for me. I'm not very patient, especially with my siblings. I'm sure everyone has had to wait for something. A birthday, vacation, a new video game, toy or movie. And there are times when I want to do something or get something that I have to wait for. And a lot of times we don't like waiting. Cause that's like being told no and we dont like to be told no. By nature we are rebellious, ...
