Judged, but not Convicted.

You know the drill, or maybe you don't. You are going on your way living life the best you know how and someone introduces a new set of rules, a new conviction that tells you if you don't do it their way they will make your life a living hell if they have not already. This person believes that they are right and you are wrong no matter what you say to them to convince them that you are a person of integrity, they seems to see things in you that are not just behaviour faults, but character deficiencies in their eyes. You are judged, but not convinced that their assessment of your character has been accurately diagnosed. In fact the bible tells believers not to judge another persons character, but the fruit of their lives not to condemn that person, but in order that that person might be saved.

But this person isn't concerned about your own spiritual well being, at least they are giving an incredible example that the last thing they are concerned about is your faith. This person thinks that your faith is a misguided delusion and is trying to save you from what he believes is a 'religion complex' and no matter how much you stand your ground with this person they recruit more people to his faithless way of thinking, to make your life more complicated and strifeful than it has ever been up until this point. What do you do when your enemy becomes your loved one?

I ask this question not to get an answer, but to pose a real problem in a real life, my life and to bring to awareness that no matter how hard you try to be a loving a caring person, there are situations and circumstances that we face in life that sometimes seem unbearable. I have decided to carry on in my christian faith, regardless of the accusations towards me, whether they are true or false only God knows and it is the Lord who judges my heart, not man. I am confident in this, that he who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion unto the day of Christ. (translation mine.)

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.

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...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring.

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
