DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND

Christianity, Health, Spiritual

We dress ourselves in the latest fashion. We crave the latest fads, gadgets and even go to extreme lengths just to be in line with the times. But all these things are only temporary. What is seen will soon pass away and what is not seen is eternal. If we pay so much attention to what is here now that will be gone tomorrow, how much more should we put emphasis on what will last forever? There has been so much buzz and craze on what happened ages ago. And it is still happening now, but it seems that people never pay close attention to Him. The Heavenly King came and is offering free gifts to everyone without reservation. His gifts last for eternity and can never be lost or…

Operation Getaway: Don’t Let Stress Rob You of Your Mental Health

Health, technology

RootedOnTheVine deals on self-care based on biblical principles so you can fulfill your God-given purpose. Photo by Unsplash In the 1970s and 80s, a personal products company created an advertising campaign with a slogan that became embedded in American culture: “Calgon, take me away!” Whether the idea that a luxurious bubble bath could mentally transport you away from stressful triggers fomented with a popular commercial from 40-plus years or not, we now know that it can indeed be an effective self-care strategy when you need a brief mental respite. Nonetheless, the tub soak is no substitute for being able to physically remove yourself from your daily routine, which makes the mental separation much easier to accomplish. Experts have long advocated taking vacations as essential to our overall well-being…

DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL CHRISTMAS?

Christianity, Health, Spiritual

What does Christmas mean to you? Is it a yearly holiday with gift-giving and wonderful food on the table with friends and family? Or it is a meaningful celebration that you commemorate and are grateful for the gift that God offered to you and the entire world? Jesus is the real reason we have Christmas. Without Him, we wouldn’t even celebrate it. Christ is the base word for Christmas. Jesus came to seek you and would like to have a relationship with you. Have you received His gift of salvation or you just know that He came, but have done nothing with the gift that God offered? So I ask again. Do you have a personal Christmas? If not, don’t let this year end without having Christ in your…

DREAM BIG AND WORK ON IT

Christianity

We all have goals and dreams in our lives, but some of us only settle for something less. Maybe you feel that you are not qualified enough, you don’t have the right skills, resources, or experience for it. We are all familiar with these thoughts and feelings, aren’t we? These are all normal and even beneficial because it moves us to do something about it. If you look at those who are living their dreams, they too didn’t have everything, but they still went head on. Whatever they lacked, be it in knowledge, skill set, finances, or experience, that didn’t stop them from reaching their goals. They worked with whatever they had at their disposal and learned the needed skills along the way. As a Christian, the Lord has…

Why Worry?

Christianity, Health

Photo Credit: DailyVerses.net If you listen to the news, most of the reports are about pestilence, wars, corruption and civil unrest. And it's easy to fall prey to worry with all these circumstances surrounding us. But do you really need to worry? I think we should work and prepare for such things, but worry shouldn't be one of them. Worry doesn't do you any good. It only robs you of your joy. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Matthew 6:34). The Bible says that you can't add a single hour to your life by worrying (Matthew 6:27). So Why Should You? If you're a Christian, with the coronavirus pandemic that is troubling the world today, then…

You Are Beautiful!

Health

This post contains affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more information. Did you know that ONLY 4% of women think they're beautiful? Pop culture sells us products by infusing our minds with an unattainable definition of beauty, and it infuses most beauty products with harmful chemicals disguised by clever branding and miracle claims. There is a hidden, dark side to the beauty-alteration industry. For anyone with any silicone or saline implant in their body, toxins bleed into our bodies from DAY ONE of implantation. Silicone, saline and 30+ other toxins and heavy metals can migrate to our lymph nodes, liver and brain, possibly making us ill and cause mysterious symptoms. There have been ZERO long-term studies to support the safety of implants, and most countries have banned them. Not only…

How To Make This Christmas Season Your Best Ever

Christianity

Today is Christmas Day. While you are done unwrapping your presents and enjoyed the occasion with your friends and family members, it would be worthwhile to step back and reflect on the real reason for this holiday season. Two thousand years ago, God’s Son, Jesus Christ, came to earth as a baby to live among us. The Creator of the universe decided to make Himself known to his creation through his Only Son and to be born by a peasant girl, Mary. Though I would no longer elaborate on the whole story since this is all too familiar, I would like to turn your attention to Jesus who suffered an excruciating pain at the cross so you can live with Him in heaven for eternity. The blood that came…
