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.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
