When it comes to making decisions I have a very difficult time doing so. Some decisions are no brainers like renewing your passport and going to church on the weekend. Some of my choices are done with wisdom and some of my choices are done out of sheer stupidity, I am choosing to decide not what is right but what will benefit other people, specifically the ones I love the most. Let me give you an example if I may. Last year I attended an invitation by my church to travel to Chicago to learn more about my job as a volunteer children's minister. I went. When I got there I was so excited to be in the presence of my favourite bible teacher James MacDonald. In the car with two lovely people and me in the back seat, somewhere in Indiana I shouted out the name "James MacDonald" out of sheer excitement that I was going to see him up and close, I might have scared my two travel companions. Tonight is a great night but it is bitter sweat because a bus load of Christians from Chic...

Social Unity at what cost?

I am pleased to announce the resignation of my self. I believe firmly in the power of prayer and forgiveness but I choose to not be pleased with who I was. Today I embark on the only journey worth taking and that means defining what it means to live in social harmony. I would love to say that I am not a humanist but I love this thing called the human race, but we have problems. You would think that love will unite us all, but there cannot be room in my heart for social reform. If this leaves me questioning he purpose of our existence I have failed, but I know that this is leading me to consider the benefits of the purpose of my existence. I would have to say that the human race was put on earth for one reason and that reason is to discover the love of God and if you haven't fond that yet he lies in your very heart, as a gift to be won by faith alone. If I never see another sunrise which I m sure I will, I just want to say that I love you..not as the world loves you but with the l...

Called out.

I am going public with this and I ask for your grace and your consideration of all that is said. I have been attending Harvest Bible Chapel for almost four years and it is a great church. I met so many like-minded people and I have never felt so loved in all my life. Like all churches in north America we are subject to laws, laws that I have enforced myself with others as a children's minister at the church. I understand that although we live in a free society, we are not free to do whatever we want and with that freedom comes responsibility. I have been living with a mental illness since 1999 and the world has change allot since I was diagnosed. I have changed allot too. I never thought I would be serving in a world changing church and was so blessed to do so for nearly four years. I grew up in a Catholic home and never understood evangelical Christianity until 1995 when I was caught up in homosexuality and heard the gospel of my salvation at that point. Although I am straight, it...

The doctrine of Re-Unification.

I have heard it said somewhere that "if you don't have faith you have nothing at all." But my question to you is who you are having faith in? We all have dreamt of the perfect life, a Utopian kind of society where my stuff belongs to you and vise versa. For those of you who think I said vise visa, it might be an indication to where your heart is right now. We live in a capitalist society not a socialist society and we have homes to live in and children to bring up in the world. I am not a stupid man, I might be a little crazy, but that doesn't mean that I do not have a soul..I do not have dreams and ambitions, but this crazy little society has decided to put me in a box. Who am I? Chapter two..I hear the smell of bacon and I taste poppy seeds in my mouth, the Lord is good. I have root beer on my breath and I taste diet coke..the Lord is good. I smell flowers in my mind and the radio is off and I am waiting for something good to happen, and she is here. She sings to ...
