some simple thoughts.

Nothing profound or life changing, my thoughts are like the leaky faucet that goes "drip, drip, drip." When we are faced with life's battles, things that bother us, usually we like to ignore them. trying to be virtuous is a hard thing and besides we live in a hard going society where we want things to be perfect but they never are. We want that perfect mate, but sometimes we are just to shy to let that person really know how we feel. We also like to fantasise about what our lives would be like, if we were a little smarter, if we were a little taller, what if I could go back ten years ago, how would I do things well I think we would do things just the way we did them. Thoughts of a better life, a wife, never dying, we are strange people indeed. We are human. We need each other, we need the air, we need love and we need joy, we don't need to cry, we need to hate, we need to love and love some more. This life will eventually come to an end and then what next, where do we go from here? I am not an atheist. I believe in a God. I think though sometimes we invent a kind of god. Like my parking lot god, my golfing god, my best friend god, my where did that thing go? god, I am not a heretic, I just sometimes think that our idea of God comes from storybooks, and movies, different ways of interpreting who he is and just what he does. Do you really know God? I think he knows you, me, maybe he is too busy running the world...naaa, I think he's left that part a mystery. Saving souls? Possibly, I know you believe in that if you are a saved soul!!

What about Jesus? God/man, do you believe in Jesus?.......what does that mean? It means that you have found God..Jesus, he is God. When you find God, you have really found a relationship with Jesus. Maybe eternity won't be that bad after all.

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...
