When light becomes darkness.

The bible says that the entrance of the word of God gives light, but what if that light is shunned and rejected..where does that leave the righteous. The Holocaust was a very dark period in human history, so was the great world wars and any time of war for that matter. The church of Jesus Christ has always been a source of healing and comfort during these times of darkness and I believe we are in a time in world history where the light of the gospel is dispelling darkness in human hearts craving the truth. There is no need to curse at the darkness even though I will try, because it is the darkness in a human heart that created societies where God rejected and evil goes unchecked. We are living in a time period where evil is flourishing and the forces of light that are trying to put back this evil are being tried and drained by the Gross God haters who are blind now to human suffering. I am saying this because my fight against evil has become personal at best. I have considered how to defeat this evil, and we will overcome evil by good as the bible teaches us. But what if that good is rejected? Then we will continue to reveal evil and evil people until the light of truth shines on their blackness and the light of God renews our world.

They used to say that communism was the greatest evil in our society and I remember when Russia became a democracy, but it seems now that it is a democracy the world has called on Russia to back off from what they are doing and have isolated them from the rest of the world almost as if they were once again a communist country. I am not saying that what is happening is right, in fact it is very difficult to understand why the president of Russia has appeared to turn on the rest of the world just after hosting the world in the 2014 Winter Olympics, I'm still wearing the sweater. The revolution in the Ukraine was just that, a revolution. The people rising up to gain a sense of freedom, but if we remember history, when was true freedom ever gained by any revolution?

Look at what happened in the middle east. Oppression from political leaders is not fun and anyone abusing their power should be resisted non violently as Gandhi taught. Ahimsa, do no violence. Gandhi set an entire nation free from the tyranny of the British by non violent peaceful non resistance and this takes more courage than the 21st century revolutionaries who are bent on getting their way with out sacrificing themselves peacefully. The bible tells us not to resist a evil man. True warriors of peace have always known this. Revolution costs you your life but ahimsa will shame them and give you your freedom. True freedom fighters like Gandhi and mother Teresa fought this battle with prayer and with peace until their enemies were shamed into submission. Jesus said "He who lives by the sword will die by the sword." You never fight violence with violence because you who are trying to beat the oppressor with the sword will perish by your own hands. Non violence is and has always been the way but the 21st century revolutionaries either never knew this or only knew this in theory and have lost the battle already because a God of love and a God of peace will never ordain victory at the oppressors hand by violence. Ahimsa.

They will not wake up because they lack the self control and the religious zeal to conquer through peace what all peace makers have done throughout the centuries, as the beatitude says, "Blessed are the peacemakers they will be called children of God."

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
