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.

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 Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

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...
