Why God Wants You To Be Kind (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Have you ever been hurt?

Either from a harsh word or a dismissive gesture?

It’s a hurt everyone has experienced

And it’s a hurt that everyone has inflicted at some point or another.

But as followers of Christ, we are tasked to be different.

We are tasked with kindness.

Not just to friends and family, but the more difficult type of kindness

The one that extends to strangers.

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

This verse isn’t a suggestion. 

It’s a divine command.

God showed us the ultimate kindness by sending His son to die for our sins.

We must aim to follow His example.

Often, we just see a fraction of the struggles others are facing.

The grocery store clerk who smiles as she rings up your items may be battling a chronic illness. 

The neighbor who always keeps to himself might be shouldering the weight of deep loneliness.

The colleague who seems irritable could be dealing with a difficult family situation.

These are the unseen battles that every person is going through.

And a simple kind gesture, a warm smile, a genuine compliment, a helping hand, can make a huge difference.

Kindness is a reflection of God’s love.

And it’s not always easy.

This is why it is so much more important that we show it.

We are called to respond with kindness even when it’s tough, even when it’s inconvenient, and even when we don’t feel like it.

Because kindness has the power to break down barriers, mend relationships, and bring healing to hurting hearts.

And it’s especially important to be kind even to those who wrong us.

This is when our faith is tested

When being like Christ is difficult.

So, let’s strive to remain kind, always.

And may God guide us as we strive to reflect His kindness in our daily experiences.

I’m a Christian & Now a College Grad (Updated March 2024)

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Well I’m finally a college grad, and can now spend a LOT more time on writing amazing articles that I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing them!

I took about a 15 month hiatus from blogging so I could focus 100% on my college courses, and I really missed all of my wonderful readers, so I’m going to doi my best to write articles that will reflect my continued love for the Christian community!

How To Invite God’s Beauty Into Your Household

God created a beautiful world for us to live in.

The intricate detail of a leaf, the grandeur of a sunset, the majestic mountains that touch the skies.

Each element of His creation is a testament to His glory and love.

And yet, something blocks us from truly experiencing His magnificent creations.

Our houses.

That’s right. We spend most of our time indoors.

If our living spaces don’t mirror God’s beauty and harmony He infused into nature, then we might feel disconnected from Him.

Our households are more than just brick and mortar. They’re our sanctuaries, where we rest, rejuvenate, and draw closer to our Heavenly Father.

As such, the condition of our houses can significantly influence our well-being.

Dozens, if not hundreds of studies have been published around this very subject.

And everyone has arrived at the same conclusion. A peaceful, well-kept house can promote tranquility, focus, and overall mental health.

So how can we try to invite God’s beauty into our households and enhance our living spaces?

Well, there are more ways than most people think.

Embrace minimalism

Much like the calming simplicity of a serene beach, a house without clutter reduces stress and promotes peace. Keep your space tidy and throw away or donate unnecessary items.

Celebrate natural light

Sunlight pouring through a window is a divine blessing from above. It can lift our mood, improve our sleep, and enhance productivity. Keep windows clean and unobstructed to allow as much natural light as possible.

Grow indoor plants

Just as a tree glorifies God with its growth, so can the plants in our households. They add a splash of God’s natural beauty into our space. Plus, they improve air quality.

Add personal touches

Create a house that reflects who you are and your love for the Lord. This could be family photos, cherished mementos, or religious symbols.

With our houses reflecting God’s natural beauty, let us rejoice in His creation, both outside and within our personal abodes.

May God bless our efforts to make our households an extension of His grandeur and beauty.

This Wifi Mistake Can Put Your Family At Risk

I just thought of something that could be essential for our readiness when SHTF.

Everyone has wifi in their houses, right?

It is something we usually take for granted. Sometimes we even ask for it when we enter a public place.

But every time a storm or an earthquake happens in the US, what does always happen?

The power grid goes down. Cell towers collapse, and no one can log in to the web.

But if you are a prepper, you are probably prepared for this.

You have your own generator. And your own Wifi. You’re sitting pretty, right?

Well, not exactly.

A working Wi-Fi signal in a digitally dead area is like lighting a beacon in the dark.

It signals to anyone with a device searching for a network that there’s someone nearby with resources.

Resources that some people will be willing to do whatever it takes to take from you.

Even by force.

So what can we do about this? Should we throw our routers out the window during power outages?

This is what I have been looking into for the past couple of days.

Apparently, you can reduce the range of your wifi router by adjusting the power settings.

Most Wi-Fi routers have settings to control the transmit power.

By reducing the power output, you can also reduce the range of your Wi-Fi signal. 

The specific steps for adjusting power settings vary depending on the router model, so consult your router’s documentation or interface for guidance.

But there is also another way that doesn’t require any technological expertise.

And that’s by surrounding your router with dense materials. Like concrete or stones.

To tell you the truth, if we ever have a massive power outage, this is what I am planning on doing.

During emergencies, we have to think outside the box.

Situations that we might not have dealt with before might begin to surface.

If you don’t want your house to become a target, consider one of the two ways to reduce your router’s range.
