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.

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...

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 ...
