Unkempt Hair and the servitude of others.

We all know when it is time for our monthly hair cut, and that time comes sooner than later for most of us. But our souls can be like that person on the street corner, who hasn't had a good wash in along time and is quite content (so he thinks) to be wallowing in his mire as he has returned to the filth that the Saviour Saved him from. I started singing again. It was a bit of a challenge at first, I thought that years of smoking would of ruined my vocal chords, but to my surprise they were just fine. The voice is a little bit like a atrophied muscle that hasn't been used in a long time, and we can forget what it was like being in the presence of an almighty God if we have let our spiritual lives atrophy. However in this case it can and is a little more dangerous.

If you are an all and all out sinner, then your requirement is for repentance but disqualifying yourself from that I would assume you might want to be interested in a nice couple of shots of espresso and a friendly talk about the very strange weather that we have been having lately. If the topic of religion seems to make it face appear and you wish to delete that text, I would say that look at the content of that message before you delete it because it may contain something that you really need to hear in your life right now but despite the fact that you may not be ready to hear that message, there are more things we can talk about.

We come from the same stuff, human stuff. And if you think that stuff kind of evolved or was created by a creator, would you not agree that our stuff is the same? What makes me different from you is that you might be a different age than I am, you might come from a different family, but at the heart of it, we will all die one day and what makes us the same is that you have a soul. You can deny that reality but who in the world do you think you are if you don't have a soul. We all have souls. You asked me if I could prove that. I can. Take a look at your hand, what do you see? Skin right? What is inside that skin? Easy question, not really. All kinds of stuff. If we were to remove that stuff you would still be you right? Just missing a hand. What part of you would suffer if your hand was missing? Your emotions? Your feelings? Or your soul? I know you want to deny this example because what I am trying to prove is that you still exist without parts of your body, that is your soul.

Last question. What is sin? It is what your conscience and God call wrong. That is a very secular definition and requires the fact that you believe in God which I think you do, you just think that He doesn't believe in you. You might have mistaken something in the place of who God really is and in that act you might have dulled your conscience to the fact that some things are clearly right and some things are clearly wrong. But that is enough for now.

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 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...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
