The Dissapearing Ghost.

In the light of all that is miserable and good, I would like to talk about the attitude of self congratulation. Despite the fact that I am aware of myself and aware of you, I would like to call you my friend if that is possible. I am not a writer, nor am I a great human being, I am Mike and if that sends shivers up your spine I promise I'll keep far from you. This is not a manifesto, but a supplication to shut out the voices that I hear in my mind on a constant basis that goes something like this;
 "Your Father never wanted you and despite the reaction he gave you when you scored your first goal, it was comical because what he really wanted you to be was a football player, and when you became one, it was your mother who encouraged you not your father." (It's good that I have a psychiatrist, because to analyse what I just said would take more than a witch doctor.)
 Really, I think we all have father issues, it depends on who is your father. And if you are a Christian we have a heavenly Father who can pick us up when we fall. Let me discuss what that means. When I was a Catholic, I believed that Jesus and the Father were one and the same. It really left no room for the trinity. When I became a born again Christian, my definition of Jesus changed, He was now Lord and I was the servant.
 My heart grieves at the fact that our identity can be misplaced especially if you have surrendered your life to the King of the Universe. It would be no less my duty and privilege to tell you that despite the way you feel right now and despite the way people have used you, give God another go. I learnt a really cool word recently it's Theodicy (hope I spelt it right.) What it means is that God is not responsible for evil, if you can picture a world that God is present in, this world and you can look around at all the wicked people and still question the justice of God, you might understand that even though God is who He says He is, He allows free will. And if he didn't allow it we would not be free to be ourselves. Look up the word Theodicy and see what google, or a really good dictionary says about it. You would be crazy to deny that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS and our free will not Satan is the cause of our sin.

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 storehouse, that

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 the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
