When your appetite is wet for noodles.

Oh how lonely it is when you have no friends no family to care for you, no children running around the house and your mother and father are dead. "Is this the way my life has turned out to be? I am a lonely old man with no one to care for me. I never had any children, but oh how desperately I wanted to be saved from this life of solitude"...but wait, I am only dreaming. My mother and father are still alive, I'm an active person in my society, I have religion, not the kind that leaves you feeling empty on Sunday but the real kind that makes you feel like you can almost touch the hand of God. Oh there is that word, I said it God. It'd kind of neat, I'll say it again..no I think I'll just leave that word for my special times with Him. Yes I refer to God in the masculine, but that is not what wetting your noodle is all about.

Let me explain.

I started off this blog by saying how lonely it is to be alone. True it can be lonely. We find ourselves doing things that we would do if people where around and then we end up feeling guilty for trying to be happy with ourselves.

This can be a bad idea. I don't have kids, but if you do and you are feeling lonely right now, try not to think of the kids not being with you right now. It's fall, my favorite season, the leaves the smell, something romantic about fall, your kids have just started school again and you are wondering what to do with your time. I'm not doctor Phil, but I think I have discovered a few ways to beat this thing we call loneliness. First get a good book, slam it on your coffee table and say to yourself, when it is cold out side, when I start feeling the dread of those little white things falling from the sky, I will pick up my book, throw my computer to the self and be with myself in peace...

I know. How do you do that?
Like I said, I'm no doctor Phil, but I have found a few answers to feeling alone. Curl up into a ball and start repeating "I am not alone...I am not alone...we are never alone.." This may just conjure up feelings that you will always be alone, so when the phone rings or someone does come home you can hit yourself over the head, and say "there are only how many months left till Christmas....good grief." Really I feel your pain.

There is no easy solutions or steps to comforting yourself, but that is why we were no put on planet earth alone. You know that book you put on your coffee table, why not read it.

This is mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

  “Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17).   Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
