The Mind and the Memory.

Amid the terrible sounds of the Holocaust were people who once experience the freedom of mind and the freedom of conscience, but what drowned out there cries and screams for help was another persons Mind and memory. Can you ask me what it takes to loose your conscious thought of history? Could this have prevented the Holocaust from happening? Could pre war Germany thought been radically changed if it were not for the consciousness of thought and memory? Imagine you are in a room in the middle of winter there is not very much heart, and you are freezing to death, what would be your first instinct? If you were in your right mind your very first instinct would be to survive the feeling of cold. Now a simple question is is it just a feeling or is there more to your survival than just feeling away the cold.

The cold is real, just as much as the feeling but if you want to know the truth everything is real, and part of not seeing or realizing that things are actually happening is that you deny the truth intentionally. Your rational mind would tell you to turn up the heat, but if there is a man standing with a gun to your head and saying if you get out of your bed and turn up the thermostat, he will kill you. So what do you do? Do you freeze to death or do you make an attempt to convince the man that if he doesn't let you turn up the heat he will die as well! But if this man is convinced that he doesn't feel any cold, that he is just fine, you both will die. So your only option at this point is to pray that this man will really see that it is winter outside, feel the cold, and turn up the heat. Then you both will be saved.

When someone forgets that they are living in a free society, take away the home, take away their money, take away their (figuratively speaking) cloth and food and make them "feel the cold" and come to their senses.

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...
