Life after life after Death.

When we think of heaven most of us think of the sky or some Place beyond the clouds where there are angels strumming harps of gold and people walking around in with robes conversing in "Thees and Thy's," we have had images of heaven from the movies from books to TV, but the reality is that Heaven will ultimately be on this earth. You might be wondering what happens to people when they die, but if you are not let me take this opportunity to share with you what the Bible teaches. There are two places people go when they die, but both are referred to the abode of the dead or Sheol. Another word for this is Hades, Hades (hell) not referring to the place where the wicked go when they die, but an intermediary place commonly referred to as the grave or Sheol. If you have died in Christ you are awaiting the resurrection in Paradise, but if you have died outside Christ you are awaiting the final Great White Throne Judgement, to be cast into the Lake of Fire. This is what happens when you die.

After death there will be a resurrection of the physical body for those asleep in Christ, and we will live in a glorified body with God and all other Christians, in a physical world. We do not know what Heaven, Life after life after death will be like exactly but we can make assumptions, which I believe are only queses to what Heaven will actually be like.

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 Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
