Fasting for God

Seele contributor, Ben Mack fasted for the Muslim holiday of Ramadan- “I should probably begin by saying I’m not a Muslim. But, like many Muslims around the world, I’ve been fasting this past month for Ramadan. Long story much shorter, the experience has deepened my faith in ways I could not have imagined – as well as deepened my empathy for fellow humans.”

Acting in Spirit

Seele contributor, Ben Mack reminds us on the importance of acting in Spirit and not ignoring God's calling. Looking at the example of Jonah, who ignored God's command to go to Nineveh and instead went to Tarshish because he thought that was the right thing to do- we see that obeying God is important for a smooth life. And getting swallowed by a whale was no fun for Jonah either.

You don’t have to be “great” to get to Heaven

Seele contributor, Ben Mack points out the scary realization that not everyone you sit next to in church will make it to Heaven. Ben points out that it doesn’t matter if a person is a president, famous, or even incredibly smart, strong or good-looking – anyone can get in. “Greatness” doesn’t matter at all. God looks at the heart and life a person.
