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.

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 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...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
