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.

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...

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 ...
