The Wonderful World of micro-chips.

If you are a christian, then I'm sure you have heard the reports from some evangelicals that we are living in the end times and all this codifying is the mark of the beast. In Canada several years ago our debit cards were encoded with a micro chip and this lead me to seriously question the prophecies in the bible that talk about a one world order in the book of revelation and the mark of the beast being a form of identification that the whole population receives, in order to buy and sell. I am a firm believer in the book of revelation and bible prophecy, which lead me to study the exegesis of that famous verse in Revelation condemning all who receive the mark of the beast. This is how my thinking goes.

When you become a christian you are sealed with the holy spirit. For those of you who have not yet been saved, this means that when you are born again the holy spirit (who is God) is given to you as a deposit guaranteeing your final redemption. Salvation is like a circle that cannot be broken by any force or demonic power for that circle is God Himself and you are in that circle, that circle is Christ. If you die in that salvation, you are blessed because you enter into heaven where you await your final salvation in resurrection of all believers.

Because we are marked with the holy spirit you cannot be marked with anything else. No need to run away from the branding iron marked 666, for who you are determines your mark. The hand is a sign of that mark and your hand represents your world view. If you are born again you have a christian world view inherent in your nature and if you have never been saved you have a non christian world view marked by 666. I do not say that to frighten you but to make you question for yourselves the claims of Jesus Christ that you must be saved from God and His wrath, through the forgiveness of Jesus Christ on the cross. The only way to change your world view is through Christ. He is the door and you must walk through him, by repentance and faith.

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
