Unto the Least of these.

We would like to think we are important, and in a huge way we are. There are times in our lives when we forget the reason why we were put here. The answer is love. Love can come in all shapes and sizes, it can come in the form of human love, love for a song or love for a pastime. But the greatest of all human experiences of love is when we give our lives for another human being. Being romantic and such is good in a marriage and so forth, but as human being we can only show love when we have received the fullness of love itself and that means we need to repent. We are created in the image of God and as such we reflect the Glory of God to one another. It is when we see beyond the outer shell which we call a body and see with spiritual eyes as God sees that we can show and recognise the value and importance of another human being. We have all been there, hungry, frozen, broken and ashamed and so has our Father been there with us, in the form of a human being he felt shame, he felt hunger and Jesus felt cold. Jesus took our shame, he took our hunger and placed in each and every human being a longing, a universal desire to know God through his son. I have felt this longing, I have felt alone, I have felt scared and I want you to know that you are not alone. God came in the form of a human to this earth and died on a cross, so we wouldn't have to feel the separation and the shame of rejecting Him. He died so we could have life, and he died so we could be forgiven.

He calls every human being who has breath to turn away from selfishness and sin and invites us all to receive the gift that His son died for us to have. The shame you feel because you think you have to earn God's love is a lie. We don't deserve any thing from God, but he asks us to surrender our hearts to what Christ did for you on the cross. He asks you to believe it with your whole heart and ask for his forgiveness. He asks that you would repent and change your mind about who God is. God says Jesus is Lord and he asks you to confess that. (Romans 10:9) and he wants you to believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. (Romans 10:9) and he promised if you would do those things you would be saved. God is love and he loves you.

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
