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.,

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storeho...

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually th...

Who Defines Sin?

The short answer to this question is God defines sin. But how does He do it? Sin is defined in the word of God the Bible. The Bible was composed by many authors but these authors were inspired by the spirit of God, as though the spirit of God was writing through them. So the question is “Who wrote the Bible? Man or God?” The way I can explain this is that God wrote it using the agency of man. Before the New Covenant, there were prophets and holy people who spoke for God. Their words were recorded and when the books were compiled, including the books of the New Testament, we have the Bible. Because the Bible is God’s word, God Himself has preserved it throughout history. We understand who God is, and what is acceptable and not acceptable to God by reading the Bible. We learn this history of salvation, Israel’s deliverance and what God has done for the problem of sin, that every human being has a part in. Sin is clearly defined in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in ...
