Pride in the Fall of man.

It is with my most humble regards that I say to you that I am a fallen man. I don't take pride in my absurdity but rather rejoice that I am still am man of conscience and least I say faith, unless I too perish with the thought that I am somebody of substance, and suffer the fate of my countryman. There is allot I can talk about but words are cheap in a time like this, so may I say that my heart goes out to all of you who like me, have been drawn into a world and a time that takes no reference of the unfortunate of heart. Let me swallow my soul for a moment and say that without the comforts of a home, someone to love and good music to listen to and sing along with, I would be a most peculiar man obsessed with the sadness that comes to every soul who thinks that it is in their pride that they find relief. I think I have been saved from that and with the word of God as my source I believe you can be saved from that too.

I don't delight in my own self abasement, for that would be foolish. But I do delight in the God who longs to work through me to remove my pride. How he does that is not up to me, I have to be willing to let him I think at times, and even when I am stubborn, he has a way of bringing me back to himself, lest I too perish. I write this not to insist on my own way, but to recognise that God has a way of using those who's pride has been shattered, and like a master builder he longs to create something of our abased frame, in hope and in love. God do this for me. In Jesus Name.

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 storeho...

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually th...

Who Defines Sin?

The short answer to this question is God defines sin. But how does He do it? Sin is defined in the word of God the Bible. The Bible was composed by many authors but these authors were inspired by the spirit of God, as though the spirit of God was writing through them. So the question is “Who wrote the Bible? Man or God?” The way I can explain this is that God wrote it using the agency of man. Before the New Covenant, there were prophets and holy people who spoke for God. Their words were recorded and when the books were compiled, including the books of the New Testament, we have the Bible. Because the Bible is God’s word, God Himself has preserved it throughout history. We understand who God is, and what is acceptable and not acceptable to God by reading the Bible. We learn this history of salvation, Israel’s deliverance and what God has done for the problem of sin, that every human being has a part in. Sin is clearly defined in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in ...
