Sacrificing Truth on The Alter of Reason.

I was recently informed that an acquaintance of mine was making a very serious life choice. It s not a sinful act per se, but a choice that is determining the outcome of the rest of her life. If it is not sinful you might be wondering why I am concerned about my friends choice, the answer lies in the fact that I am truly concerned because I want the best for her. I am not going to talk about it in the sense that I know what would inevitably be best for another person, but when you see things from a different perspective you have insight that the one making the choice doesn't have. To say that we are human and we all make mistakes, so we should delight in others bad behaviour is missing the point. Yes we are all human, but that doesn't excuse us from hurting others. In a world of relativity we have lost the sense of right and wrong, heaven and hell, good and bad. What I have learnt in life is that you cannot hide from the truth.

God created you in a way that you have a free will and a conscience, but some of us have lost our ability to see clearly. In a relativistic world we now look to other people to tell us the difference between good and bad and we fail to look into our own hearts to determine if I should do this thing. Reason is the ability to think a problem through by yourself, and come to a conclusion based on my conscience. If I tell you the right thing to do in this situation is to run to a better place, and you do not base your solution on the truth, you are looking to the highest good, not for yourself but for the majority.

If you base your feeling on the greatest evolution of thought for your highest good, then you will realise that it wasn't evolution that brought you to this conclusion, but our reasoning mind, which is either good or evil. What makes a mind thoughtless, is not the absence of truth, but the suppression of it.

This is Mike.

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 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...

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 ...
