Where there is no peace.

We all dream of a life where we get along with one another. We dream of a good marriage and a good family and we also dream of good health for physical bodies. When one of these is lacking we tend to become very restless people. So restless that wars and troubles begin for many people who lack a greater sense of peace and self-awareness. I can tell you from experience a greater sense of self-awareness may not solve the problem but it will provide some solutions to what you are looking for. There are so many books on self-help and ways to make you live a better life, you may be asking with so much suffering in the world what point is it if I cannot even afford my next meal. Another question you might be asking is does the end of the war cause the end of all suffering? The answer to that question is no there is great pain experienced when people fight one another. Politics is not the answer.

When a little child is hungry and crying for his mommy all he really wants is to be comforted. Does what the human race want now is only comfort? If it were just comfort then we would surely find it very quickly. I think we all want more than comfort. But what the human heart really craves is a desire for self-sufficiency and security. When our desires of self-sufficiency and security are taken from us we become helpless. You might want to know that it is possible to regain a sense of unhelplessness. Politics does play a part in healing the world, but it has to be politics that makes sense to both parties. The solution is it one set of rules to go by and everyone follows it, it's more like many rules that everyone agrees upon in order to come to one particular solution. Does dividing the land necessarily mean that people will be punished for it? Only if that people in their heart of hearts understand that there is forgiveness even for the worst of sins. The solution is not dividing the land but actually uniting in the land that you want to divide. It is not a two state solution but a singular solution based on the fact of mutual understanding and exceptance.

When human beings learn to accept one another no matter where they come from, we will have found something that has been missing in this world for a very long time! Lasting peace comes at a cost and there'll always be conflict in this world so long as there is misunderstanding between both parties. The long-term solution involves huge conflict resolution. What that looks like is yet to be invented. But we can confidently say that it is not it is in our hearts to be at peace with one another. So long as we think of our friends as her enemies we will never have peace, so put aside anything that resembles hate towards your enemy and do what Jesus Christ taught his disciples to do love your enemies and do not hate them. For only in true reconciliation does the heart find rest. Rest is not found in the set of rules or regulations but rest is found when the heart finds it's true home in the God that he or she loves. This is peace.

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

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

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
