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.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

 Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this:    “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.   2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.   4  The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.   5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6  “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7  “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.   8  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9  “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

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 ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

  “Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17).   Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
