Over winter break I went on a mission trip to Tecate, Mexico. The team was there to minister to the community by showing God’ s love in very practical ways – we worked on repairing houses, a kindergarten, and played with the kids in sports, song, and arts and crafts. We went into the trip knowing that Tecate was an especially poor area. In Tecate, much of the population is made up of people who have spent all their money to get …

Does separation from your cell phone bring you great anxiety? Does studying ever end up becoming a time of “see how many things I can look up on Wikipedia”? Or has your hearing been severely impaired because of the amount of music you’re blaring into your ears every spare moment in the day? I can relate.
Reading this article reminded me of the downward spiral we’re all heading in with the advent of newer and faster technology. Our world is more and more …

Did you know that an average U.S. citizen spends 3,700 hours a year watching some form of mass media? That’s a little over five months!
At last month’s InterHigh Monthly, we learned facts such as this as we excitedly witnessed once again over 160 students flocking from all over northern California to attend, as well as a group that drove four hours all the way from Fresno!
The night started with a talk on the influence of media, as we watched a video created by Focus on the Family titled “Mind Over …

Who is William Lane Craig? Why Should I be Excited?
How can I explain to you how awesome William Lane Craig is? He has been faithfully defending the faith for over 30 years! He uses awesome logical arguments winning debate after debate against the brightest Atheist scholars.

If you wanted to gather a team of the best defenders of the faith, William Lane Craig would be near the number one pick year after year. He is still debating the most popular Atheists of our day, and he is still presenting Christianity as a much more reasonable choice than anything else out there.

I just got back from a mission trip to Tecate, Mexico and it was amazing.  We got to go to a church with many people who were recovered drug-addicts, and it was incredible to hear the passion in their voices as they sang praise songs.  We also got to eat a lot of delicious authentic Mexican food which has left me utterly spoiled; I think it will be a long time before I can eat La Piñata again.  But one of the …

Finals is the time when the concepts you didn’t quite master (or learn) the first time around catch up with you. The vast amounts of information that you must absorb, sometimes quite literally by noon tomorrow, can cause much anxiety and impair sight of the eternal perspective.
During this past finals season, I experienced the anxieties of reviewing and learning what seemed to be a hopeless amount of material. And yes, my sight of the eternal was also impaired. However, in the midst …

Riding off of Dan’s recent article, I wanted to pose the question of: what does it look like to honor God with your clothing? Like Dan mentioned, I think we have to think critically about what the things on our clothing says, but for girls, another aspect is that of dressing modestly. I have many peers that have been convicted in this aspect of our Christian lives because they realized they needed to honor the people around them through dressing in a …
