My Story

I was born in the year 1998, into the the spiritual darkness that all are born into. I grew up in a home that taught the ways of the Bible, but only after my preteen years did I begin take it seriously. Before this I was all about what I could see right in front of me.Chasing after all the things that kids do at that age. I wanted to be popular; wanted people to like me. I would play the class clown to get attention and make people laugh. Because when they would laugh It would make me feel like a million bucks. Like I was loved and appreciated. But the laughter would always die down and I would be left feeling empty inside. At times I would just lie in bed crying because I pitied myself. I was a mess. The tiniest thing could set me off. 

I drew. I drew my demons. The pain in my heart would flow through my hands unto the paper. And no matter how much I tried to draw what was beautiful and lovely, it would always turn out evil and gnarled. But I kept on drawing, because it was a way for me to show people what it was like on the inside of me. A cry for help that had no words. But I hated it. All of it. Sometimes I would try to hold my breath in a futile attempt to end my pain. I new you couldn't kill yourself that way; you would just pass out. But I thought that even temporary relief would better then none at. I was so broken. My preteen years weren't any better. 

As I went through hormonal changes that young people get around that age, I began to struggled with the lust more and more. Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and plenty of the pride of life. I was guilty of them all. I began to flirt around, and grow intimate with girls. I would do it secretly without the knowledge of my parents. But it eventually got so bad that they found out, and intervened. My father sat me down and had a long one on one conversation. He explained to me all about Gods purpose and plan for marriage and chastity. And though I don't remember all of what was said, I do remember that I was shaken to the core. 

From there I slowly began to awaken to the Lord and His will for my life. I began to try harder at being the man God wanted me to be instead of living my life to please others around me. I started to pray more often(though I didn't do it enough) and began to earnestly care about Gods will for my life. And the more I sought Him with all my heart, and shared my pain, the more I began to heal. 

Now over 5 years later I am in so many ways a different person then I was. A new creation. Don't get me wrong, I still make bad choices, I still sometimes live to please mankind. But now I know that even though I fall sometimes, and do evil, God still loves me. He still has an amazing plan for my life. And even though it won't be easy I know He will always be right there beside me. No matter what. And guess what? I can draw beauty now because my heart isn't dark anymore. I can draw beauty, because of what Jesus Christ did for me.

Love and Life

Unfortunately I think that often times people (including those that profess to follow Jesus Christ) get caught up in this life. They focus on the day to day things and therefor don't think on the important questions like: Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? How did I come to exist? Because of this when hard questions are asked, they give weak responses. The question "what if your wrong" has become one of those responses. Maybe at one point it was thought about as a legitimate question that one needs to ponder. Now however, it is just thought of as a cop out or something that's said by people who don't really have any good arguments. That being said, I believe that the idea behind the phrase is still valid. Which is, to bring peoples attention to what may await them if they don't wake up. If they don't open there eyes to the truth that this life isn't just about what they see in front of them. Its not about being born,growing up, getting a job, having sex,seeking pleasure, and then going to the grave. Its about love and relationship. And not the love that this world has twisted and corrupted. Not love that is synonyms with lust. But love that is full of patience, kindness, gentleness, self sacrifice, and selflessness. The same love that would make a perfect God send his only Son into this world to die in your place. A love so great that even while they whipped him until the street ran red with his blood,beat him, and spit in his face, he forgave them. A love that was so powerful it could overcome all the evil that people have done,are doing and will do... That's what its all about. Everything. The situations you face,the troubles you go through, the people you meet, the amazing beauty and complexity of the world around you. Its all there to test if you will accept this love. To see if you will accept God who is Love. And to see if you will love Him in return.

Defacing Private Property

Sometimes I am walking down the street and I see someone with all these piercings and tattoos on there body and I think to myself "I wish I could stop them from destroying their body like that,". Then I go into churches and I see the exact same behavior. It breaks my heart to see my fellow brethren falling into the same garbage as the world. So I felt like I needed to address this topic with all you guys. The word of God says in James chapter 4 verse 4: "Ye adulterers and adulteresses do ye not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God". And in 1John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him". So we can see by these verses that God wishes for us to be free of the world, not following in its footsteps. We are "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people" and we are to follow Him and even be willing to be hated for Christ's sake. So all your friends may have a cool tattoo and a pierced belly button, Who cares? If they are against God and his laws then we should not do it. It says in Leviticus 19:28 "You shall NOT make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord". Hmmm so I wonder what "print any marks upon you" means, but any way.. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are" and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's ". So we can see from this that our bodies are not our own, they belong to Christ and so we must honor Him with them. In these verses it also tells us that If we purposely try to change the way are hair is or punching holes through are ears it is not going to end well for us. Not to mention the fact that tattoos and holes through the ears both came from the natives and have to do with shamans magic and other pagan rituals. More info on that here: The Paganism Behind Tattoos.

Now I have heard people ("Christians") try to excuse there sin by saying "well Jesus in Revelations 19 had a tattoo so that means so can I". Whoa people hold the fort, what did you just say ? Jesus having a tattoo? Let's take a look at what they are talking about..
Revelation 19:11-16 says: 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Ok so first of all we see that he looks to have a name on his thigh so that automatically means a tattoo right? I mean they use needles full of ink too inject into peoples skin in heaven too right? No, sorry guys but this is not the case. Let's take a look... By saying Jesus had a tattoo on His thigh would mean that it was on the skin of his thigh. But a venture is a robe like garment that covers from shoulders down so either the Bible is really weird and is talking about a tattoo under his garment or the words are actually on the garment itself. So for verse 16 just to get a better idea of what I could be saying : and He had on a vesture and on his right thigh ( of the vesture) a name was written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. So we can see that this passage of scripture is most likely talking about the words being on the vesture or something that we don't know of. Also another good point to bring up is that if Jesus did have a tattoo on His thigh He would be disobeying the law and therefor not a perfect man and therefor not able to save us from Hell and eternal death.

Speak out agianst bullying

I Am
I am the person you bullied at school,
I am the person who didn’t know how to be cool,
I am the person you alienated,
I am the person you ridiculed and hated.

I am the person who sat on her own,
I am the person who walked home alone,
I am the person you scared every day,
I am the person who had nothing to say.

I am the person with hurt in her eyes,
I am the person you never saw cry,
I am the person living alone with her fears,
I am the person destroyed by her peers.

I am the person who drowned in your scorn,
I am the person who wished she hadn’t been born,
I am the person you destroyed for ‘fun’,
I am the person, but not the only one.

I am the person whose name you don’t know,
I am the person who just can’t let go,
I am the person who has feelings too,
And I was a person, just like you.


I have seen so many people start thinking they are worthless because of this huge issue. Bullying is a virus, a plague. Wherever it spreads it destroys millions of people’s lives, and more and more this is happening. Two out of three teens are verbally or fiscally bullied in schools. I post these things to get you to think and to speak out. Please.

The trouble with dating (part 1 of 2)

Ok so I recently have had a conversation with some friends that I would like to share with all you guys about dating. So Just to start things off If you are in favor of dating or you just are considering it then ask yourself this question. What does dating do and more importantly why do would I do it? These are very important questions and I will tell you what most people would say. Some would say "well I need to date If i want to marry" and others "well..I do it because my friends do it" but I think most people would say something more along this line "I date because its fun!!". Well lets just look at these for a minute. So for those who would say the last two this is what i will tell you. If you are doing something only because its fun or because your pressured into doing it chances are its probably something you a. don't need to do and b. probably should not be doing. And the Bible talks about those who only seek the pleasure. In Proverbs 21:17 It says "He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich." in 1 Timothy 5:6 it says "But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth." and last but not least the bible said in 2 Timothy 3:4 that in the last days men would be "Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;". So as we can see there we it is not good to only seek after what is "fun" or what "feels good". But instead we are to put on the full armor of God like it says in Ephesians 6:10-17: "10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Now for those of you who think that dating is necessary and needed here is what I say. Where In the Bible does it say so and so dated so and so? Unless you can show me in the Bible that dating was done before marriage then we can safely assume it is not necessary. But then you might say "But where in the Bible does it say that dating is wrong?". Well lets just take a look at what the outcomes of dating are before we go any further. So we have a few outcomes 1. The two people involved date for awhile like each other and get married. 2. The two people involved decide they want to rush ahead so they get into bed together before getting married. 3. Something happens in the relationship and one of the two people involved leaves the relationship and breaks the other persons heart. Now unfortunately the last to are the most common today the first one not so much and even when it does happen it is most time a very broken marriage because the initial feelings for that person have now gone. Marriage takes commitment. Now lets see what the Bible says about the last two outcomes Ephesians 5:3 "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;". 1 Thessalonians 4:3: "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:" 1Corinthians 6:18: "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." So for anyone who does not know what fornication is here is the definition: voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other So we see from all this that dating leads to premarital sex which is fornication which God hates and tells us to stay away from. Dating also leads to broken marriages because people get married to soon because they had the fuzzy feelings or what have you. And dating leads to brokenness in peoples lives like in the case where one person leaves the relationship and the other is torn apart. So we can see from these few scriptures and many others that God does not approve of what dating leads too. So short answer....Don't do it!!!So now you have heard my reasoning and what I believe scripture and God back up. I will soon be posting the second part to this post which is Alternatives to dating so stay tuned. P.S. If you want to contact me to tell me your opinion or comments you can do so by sending me an email at ben.forg@gmail.com or you can look me up on google plus as Ben Forg. With love, Ben Forg

The Reason I say no to bullying

I was never bullied as a kid. I fit in, had fun, and even was popular. But there where others around me who where not so popular. Two In particular i can remember, a boy and a girl. They where picked on by many people for things so small and insignificant. The girl was picked on for here very clingy and cheery attitude. The boy for his differences. I remember the girl brought her toothbrush to school so after each lunch she could brush her teeth. People made fun of her and left her out of activities just for being a "weirdo" so called. But that was not the worst part for me. I remember how I would go along with my buddies just fitting in not wanting to be the one to step out and stand up. And I watched as these people where bullied. I stood by while they where being trampled. The girl, last time i spoke with her told me she has nothing left. She gets sucked up into pokemon and make believe now. And the worst part is.. I only realized too late that It was me who was bullying her. I was part of the reason she lost hope. You see It does not matter If you are the one who is spewing hatred against the person. All it takes is silence. By not speaking up and doing what is right you are the bully. So before It happens In your life stand up for the people in your school, church,team,dance group, or just your friends because If you don't you my wake up one day and realize that it is to late. So please Say no To bullying.
