Steeling Your Heart.

This is not a love song it is more of a Requiem. When we think of death we like to think that it will never happen to us, so we hide our faces and and bury our thoughts in the latest technology and what would make our lives more easier. But I want to challenge you to think of something that truly makes you happy. Do you know what happiness is? Have you ever experienced joy? Don't turn me off, bear with me. At the heart of our unrequited love lies an inner child, that if expressed might take us into a new level of being human. I am not asking you to be a kid, and as repulsive as that seems to your logical mind, I am asking you to be child like. I think I have lost you. At the heart of every person lies the desire to be loved purely.

What you are longing for is not another beer, but to feel the throb and pulse of a person who has become fully alive. You ask what you will have to give up...nothing. Does that sound familiar? Everything comes with a price, but I am asking you to be fully alive. All you have to do is live. Sound to easy? Maybe you've been asked this question before and maybe you think it is outdated? What do you want to be when you grow up..... I'm 39 you say and isn't it a little too late to be asking myself these questions? I'm not asking you to reinvent the wheel all I'm asking for is a little bit of your memory.

If I was to paint a picture about everything and all that you hoped your life would be, would it include, butterflies per se? Or is your interior house full of cob webs and stale Cheetos and things that if pulled out, you be so ashamed to show your face in public ever again. I ask you once again what do you want to be when you grow up? I think you are on your way and that person who just cut you of in traffic has a dinner date tonight with a friend of mine and when you meet her you'll say to yourself "What a lovely time we had at Derick's house tonight. Maybe we should do it again when we are sober. There is allot I can teach you about the birds and the bees but it seems you've made up your mind that the best place for you to be is in a place where Derick wears a tutu and that song that you really like is always played on the radio so you can rest in peace that there will be work to do but not the kind that will kill you. Shazam!

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...

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 ...
