Adultery, not a nice word.

I promised myself that I wouldn't do this, I will not complain...maybe just a little. I want to talk about the need for reality. There is allot of deception, (as the trash man drives by my window) and nobody seems to care. I called a prayer line today, and the man on the other line seemed so indifferent to my problem. Maybe it's because he is indifferent to the problems in his own life. One of my college teachers said something that has still stuck with me, it was "The great Disappointment." As an artist no matter how much you achieve in life you will always be left with the feeling that despite your accomplishments you really haven't reached your goals. He also told me that I have the feeling that others know me better than I know myself. At that point in my life he was right. Then I grew up.

I'm not the judgemental type, but I know that there are allot of people who would say that I am, for that I apologise. I have a tendency to tell people things that they don't want to hear and I think that is precisely the problem in the 21st century. We don't want to hear anything! The news is selective, church and christian ministries are going into default mode, AND WHY? BECAUSE NOBODY BELIEVES IN THE TRUTH ANYMORE AND WHEN SOMEONE STANDS UP FOR THE TRUTH THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO BE LIARS OR CRAZY. Some one needs to take a stand and say this is wrong and you shouldn't be doing that. BUT THE REASON NOBODY STANDS UP FOR THE TRUTH ANY MORE IS BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEING TRUTHFUL! Didn't your mother teach you any thing?

CHILDREN ARE BECOMING LESS EDUCATED AND MORE STREET SMART, THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS NOT AN OPEN AND FREE CONCEPT LIKE IT WAS WHEN I WAS A CHILD, AND WE HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG. Canada is a rich nation and should be thinking more of the welfare of it's ageing population, and less about the presidential elections. No I am not telling you what to do I am using my charter rights to inform you we are still a free country.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

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 Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
