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.

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

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

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
