Hey, the news says you're Rich.

Would you believe the nightly news if the host came on your TV and said, "Everyone in the world has just become a millionaire!" Would you believe him or her? Or would you be a little sceptical. It seems that most people in the world these days has money, but how are you spending your money? At the mall? At the gas station, on line, offline? Do you keep a record each week of how much you are spending and where?

We are a consumer society and if you give your money away..to a church for example, you might be taking the first step to financial freedom. Have you seen that show where people horde everything they own paying no attention to spiritual things? Let me tell you, God owns everything and when we give back to him a tithe of what we have we are saying in effect that we trust him. Everything that we have, our life and our breath all comes from a loving God who wants to bless us and give us life. When we give our money back to God, we are saying "Lord even if things get really scary in my life, I trust you to handle the most difficult things for me. I am not renouncing my responsibility in this Lord, but I am taking responsibility by putting my faith in you."

You see giving your money back to God doesn't help me only if I really am a christian. If I am then trusting him with the smallest thing, it shouldn't be a problem, but it is for some of us. We may be young and lack experience, but if you are saved what an act of faith it would be for you and for me to not only trust Jesus as Lord and Saviour, but with our wills as well.

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.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

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 ...
