Will she Marry Me?

I have a funny story to tell but the funniest part is that the story is not finished yet. I have a friend, I'll leave him unnamed for now, I'll call him Levi. This part of the story is an embellishment of the truth: I just got off the phone with Levi, he is a great friend you know. We share our hearts and secrets it is a purely Biblical relationship between two guys who have allot in common, enough said. I told Levi of a story, something that happened to me over a year ago and it made me very happy that I had someone to share this story with. Levi is a christian, and he is a very good friend. We talk about the bible together and share things that God is doing in our lives.

Levi was wondering why I was dealing with an unresolved anger issue and the story goes like this...Over two years ago I met the woman of my dreams. I at first saw her as a very good friend, and her beauty was beyond what mortal man could put into words, even our famous Shakespeare. Oh what shall I compare thee to Christina, mans thoughts dost not comprehend thy innocent eyes, thy hair like an angel, thy skin like a tangerine, smooth and sweet to taste if my dainty pleasure were procured by a gift of the gods, thy caresses would send me into shock for an eternity of heavenly delights.

Ya, I liked this girl. Yet her heart belongs to another, an Adonis. A Phantom, a gentleman and her friend. What Levi didn't know was that I had made a deal with the gods upon seeing her angelic beauty upon first seeing her that one day she would be mine. The gods promised me that if I were to woo her she would fall headlong into my arms, of Shakespearean sonnets, and candle light dreams. But what I told Levi was that I had been deceived by the gods for she was soon to be engaged to her Adonis, and as fate would have it the gods must have lied to me, thus the cause of my anger.

Levi being a good christian, I told him I must relegate my arms to the terrible world of fate and turn my face against the gods for they were no gods if they could not keep their promises. Thus the tale goes on, do I worship the same God as Levi? (which I already do) or do I take my case up to the highest heavenly tribunal for further study? I will leave the fairy tales to Adonis (the real one) and relegate my self that even the gods can not buy the love of a woman.

this is Mike.

Catholic Identity.

  I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

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...
