Personal Storm Satire
This isn’t a chapter about the weather; it’s about our lives. When your personal storm strikes, will you cry out in fear or live by faith? He's walking on the water towards you. The thing you think is about to destroy you, He's using for a sidewalk to save you!

Fear is the tax that your conscience pays on disbelief. But the Word tells us to FEAR NOT! Hold onto God's unchanging hand until the storm passes by!
Storms are proof that you're a member of the human race! It's not WHAT you're going THROUGH, but WHO you're going TO. Our God is able.

He has not promised smooth sailing, but you will have a safe landing.

Do you want God to use you mightily? Then get ready for the storm.

The quality of the "house" you have built, can only be determined

    As stated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist, “Once upon a time, people identified the god Neptune as the source of storms at sea. Today we call these storms hurricanes… The only people who still call hurricanes acts of God are the people who write insurance forms.” This quote by Neil DeGrasse Tyson not only applies to storms, but also applies to many things we previously did not understand. It basically displays the idea that just because we do not understand a concept, does not mean we will not be able to explain it in the future. Our society must get to the point of being comfortable with not knowing, instead of using myth to explain concepts we do not understand. In…

    On August 16th, 2015, John Oliver’s news show on HBO, Last Week Tonight, shed a cutting light on religious ministers who devote the majority of the ministry through television broadcasting. Mainly Christian, these ministers, known as “Televangelists”, and can be either official or self-proclaimed ministers that enlist their followers into “seed faith”. Defining this term, Televangelist Rick Warren explains the principal of “seed faith”, or “sowing and reaping” as sending money to his church -“planting the seed”- whenever you might have or ask for a need from God. Given time you will “harvest” the benefits and gain what you originally asked for with blessings (Warren). Oliver, however, has a different view about such prosperity gospels and made…

    One example of how fear motivates humans is Christianity. Christians fear eternal damnation, and fear is a leading contributor to the salvation of Christians. Jonathan Edwards used fear in his famous sermon: “O sinner! Consider the fearful danger you are in: it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is…

    There’s nothing like walking through the park in the summertime, and seeing all the beautiful garbage scattered in the grass. It’s even better when you see the little bunnies chewing on that plastic wrapper someone left on the ground. Also, it’s just wonderful when you’re driving and you see someone throwing a cigarette butt out their window. Don’t you think so?…

    Starting with Hurricane Harvey, the United States and other parts of the world has been hit with a series of devastating natural disasters in the past couple of months. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and floods decimated major cities and small towns alike. Following these disasters, differing beliefs on what the source of these phenomenons are. One theory is that they are caused by ‘global warming’, but on the other side of the spectrum, there is talk that this is the sign of the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, the belief that these are signs of the second coming, just is not logical. These natural disasters have appeared all throughout the country, as well as causing major damage to islands residing in the Caribbean. Directly on…

    We headed out from Alcove Springs and are going to Fort Kearney. We have been on this trail for about 5 days. Throughout the time being that we are walking by the river, we stopped about every two or three days to do some washing and what not. The Ives family called that they feel like a storm was coming. Since he had an idea, we tried to find somewhere to stop, but there was not anywhere to take a even a little shelter for miles. We kept going, but quicker than usual, so my feet are started to hurt worse than ever. It suddenly started sprinkling on us, but we just ignored it, but the rain got heavier and heavier by the minute. Mud was splattering with every step. The Conners’ cover over their wagon tore off. Suddenly, our cover ripped a little…

    A Scream Across The Sky

    It was a typical cloudy, rainy and bone chilling day in Manchester, England. All the weather reports called for dangerous winds and drastic flooding. Like any other person that lived in England I knew this was just an ordinary day not expecting the worst. I step outside and start my day like always, with a nice jog around Old Trafford staring in awe every day of the monumental stadium. Today was different because it seemed as if I was the only one outside crazy enough to test Mother Nature. Minding my own business I continue running and this epic downpour of rain hits my head, one I have never felt before. Quickly the streets begin to flood and the traffic lights start whipping back and forth. Finally I hear this terrifying scream come across the sky and knew the weather man must have been right for once. The sky now turns into a blackish grey color with a circle forming with the clouds. I look around desperately to see if any store is open hopefully for me to stay in but of course I am the only one dumb enough to be outside. The historic black fences that surrounded Old Trafford had come off the ground and I thought my life was over. I have never turned around and sprinted back to my apartment faster than I did that hectic day. Fortunately for me several hours later the police had restricted anyone from going outside after learning the storm would be here for the next several days. Seeing my life flash right before my eyes taught me to never doubt the abilities of any weather man especially one in England!…

    For example, Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” This means that there is a plan and that those who fear rather than overcome are crippled with evil fear which is shown throughout real life by youth. Furthermore once said by myself, ”I’m not afraid of dying. I am afraid of dying of how others before me have thus I am afraid to drown.” This means that dying the same way others have is frightening it makes me scared to for example, go swimming in the deep section of a lake where others have drowned and…
