What's to say? Take a bit.

Yes it is sad that we have lost a genius an entrepreneur, and now the question looms who will take the place of the great Steve Jobs? Answer: no one. This is not a depressing thought, the computer industry if I can call it that is hanging over a cliff right now, don't be in denial about it. All those great ideas, all the great minds in the world..will the computer take the place of the tv, the radio? Has it reached it's climax? Will you be stuck with an iPhone, or an ipad forever kind of like the relics of the eight track, and the record, who will replace Steve Jobs? The answer to your question..technology is man made, man dies and so does the technology they create, it too dies. I bet you all had dreams of the future that far surpassed the Jetsons, but I have a good thought for you, "Have you ever thought about what has actually lasted through out the centuries and they are things we use today? Hint:

1. a good meal
2. music, which is constantly changing!
3. art and classical music.
4. books, the kind you pick up and read.
5. energy, from the aqueducts to modern electricity to the light bulb.
6. religion, all kinds!
7. philosophers and artist.
8. family and traditional and religious festivals
9. gluttony

18. work and entertainment.
19. Hospitality
20. disease and death.
21. Sports.

23. Money
24. Modesty
25. Frivolity
26. evolution of thinking.
27. Crime and punishment.

34. comedy and tragedy

Humanity will still be here with all of these things God willing long after you die, we don't know what a day will bring forth. As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes there is nothing new under the sun and there is a season for everything that we experience this side of heaven. Put down your computer and thank God that you are still alive. I'm doing that now.

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...
