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."

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...
