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.

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 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...
