How to solve a problem.

My dad always told me to never look at the problem but only the solution. I admit that when I was younger I always used to get upset at him when he said that because I really had a hard time seeing through the mess of a particular problem. I still get frustrated when life throws at me a particular set of circumstances in which there seems no obvious way out, but as life has taught me thus far, these are the times where you either die and give in, or something miraculous happens. I would advise anyone never to rely on the miraculous, I've been doing it for 14 years now and the only good that comes from believing in things that don't exist, is the strange sense of other worldliness that only people in deep sleep experience at night. Let me clarify.

I do believe in God but I also believe in a finite world. If God chooses to reveal himself to finite beings, he does it in a finite way. I am not saying that there is no infinite, just not right now. I believe if we are going to solve a infinite problem, with a finite mind the problem will only get solved by God Himself. When we look to God to solve our finite problems, most of the time they only get solved by some kind of miracle. Miracles are rare, but God isn't.

He is working in the world right now even though you do no see him. One of the ways we can live with an unsolvable problem is to first relax and realise that nothing that God does is a mistake. There is a strange feeling of helplessness that we get when we realise that some problems seem unsolvable, but this is not true. With the help of God we can discover, or realise the truth about something and the answer is always found in God. He is the solution to your problem, no matter how difficult it seems to be. If we allow the infinite access into our finite world we will see a change in our present circumstances, now and for eternity. Nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and when we stop believing we can solve this thing, and see God and ourselves as we truly are, the verse in the scripture comes to light that "Nothing is impossible with God. We are not God, but he has given us faith to believe, and if we believe, nothing will be impossible for us."

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 ...
