If we love?

You might not want to read this post, we are living in the 21st century and most of us have forgotten the word love. I have forgotten. I have forgotten many things, or have we all forgotten what love is? I'm not out to bash you over the head with religious dogma, nor am I out to acquire something that you cannot give me, but I never want to forget that humanity can be something that it has never been before. I'm talking about you and me. There once was a time when things were easy, that time wasn't too long ago. We were stuck in concern for the person across the street, the person in our church, the persons in our home. But we lost something in all of our efforts to better myself we have lost compassion. Progress means to go forward but how do we go forward when we don't even know who we are and what we were made to become? This isn't a trick question.

My guess is that you are happy with your life. I used to be happy but my happiness was something that I took for granted. I used to see things the way you see them. I am hoping to see them that way again. I think that we can become so lost in our hatred of the things that are not right that we fail to see that there is truth that can set me free. Truth that is right in front of me. Truth that if I just open up my eyes and look through the darkness I might just remember a time where I was free. Darkness is all consuming in a heart that does not recognise unconditional love. Darkness that forgets the past and only thinks of the future, darkness that only recognises the here and now, and delights in the shadows of some great plan for this earth, despite the fact that we have forgotten how to love. I live in this darkness, I was born in this darkness, but I do not plan to live in this darkness for a second longer. Darkness brings light.

We were born to love, we were born to love the light. But we love darkness, so we hide from the light because our deeds are evil. We prefer to live in this darkness and some of us will leave this world in darkness. Words bring truth. Imagine for a moment that you can be happy, imagine that happiness is free, imagine that the happiness you feel right now will die someday, where will we be? If I tell you that I am wrong, that I was deceived in writing these words, we can't stop time. But we can remember that love was free. I haven't expressed what is truly in my heart, nor would I try to do this hear, but when I look you in the face tomorrow, I'll pretend I wasn't here.

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

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

  When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives.   Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

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
