The small little bird.

There once was a little bird, her name was Andrew. Yes Andrew was a boy's name, but this bird had not yet understood the difference between right and wrong. One day her grandmother came to her in a dream, for she was already dead, and said "Little flyer you have so many choices in life, you are a young bird what are you going to do with your life?" Andrew had a dream, she wanted to fly, but she never told anybody about her dream so she lied to her grandmother and said she would be a servant bird, a messenger just like her father. Her grandmothers tears filled up with joy, "Oh Andrew! You will be so happy in your new life, your father will be proud and you will make an honest man out of your husband!" Then Andrew woke up. She began to cry because the last thing she wanted to be like was her father. He was a cruel man, and never believed in Andrews dream to want to fly. He would say, "You are a small little bird, with small little wings and all the other birds outside will eat you up." But one day Andrew flew.

The day was her sisters birthday. She was turning nine and it was a horrible day in Andrews community. The ox had plowed the field, and in the mist of doing so he died. The whole community was in morning, for the ox was the smartest animal they knew. But Andrew didn't think that he was very smart at all, and even though he felt sorry for the community there was something bigger on Andrews mind. Her wings has grown and she felt strong, and even though everyone was at the funeral of Sammy the ox, Andrew has made herself to the top of a very large hill, but she was very tired. Just then her brother appeared to her in a dream. Her brother was one of Westborough's greatest flyer's. He said "Andrew your name has been changed, and when you are week you are strong." Then he flew away. Andrew looked down, there was a card at her feet. She picked it up it read "Andrew was your old name, your new name is brave hearted." Andrew heard a commotion at the bottom of the hill. And before she could say 'go' she was flying all around the sky, she was so high that nobody could see her, except for her brother who flew right up to meet her in the sky.

They flew for hours and hours right through the sunset, and when they came back down there was a basket for Andrew at the bottom of the hill. "Andrew, this is your cousin Mark. I heard you got your wings and I was wondering if you would like to fly with me one day?" Andrew replied, "My name is Brave Hearted and where brave hearted flies, so shall Mark!" And she lifted her wings and flew off into the sunset.

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...

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...
