This line is busy press one.

I am not one normally to complain, but in the digital age complaining seems to get you nowhere in fact it takes you right off of the boat. Because we have connected ourselves in a digital manner we seem to want to resolve personal relationship conflicts in the same way. But because we are not digital people we are real life human beings whenever there is a relationship conflict between two people whether it is a professional conflict or any other kind of conflict our first instinct is, i'm going to write about you on Facebook and that should solve all of my problems.

Being that we live in a society where almost everyone now has a voice and that voice can be heard on a social network of at least an average of 100 people, we should it seems to be getting along quite well in the realm of face-to-face communications with the real life human being. It seems the more we know about a person when we see them in person we should be able to resolve whatever conflicts we are having with them very easily but the opposite is true.

Because we are plastering everything about our lives online these days we have seem to lost a very valuable commodity in the area of building and keeping professional relationships and social relationships. I'm finding that relationships with doctors are extremely stressful these days because of the online threats and harassment that we can find ourselves in after we have voiced our concern of course online and not in person or through the regular mail. The good old days are gone when when we had a complaint with someone we would take it directly to that person in person and not have to worry about the dreaded emails and phone calls, hiding exactly what we wanted to be exposed to in the first place. Social media can be beneficial in building up an online friendship base in which common problems can be resolved very quickly but when it comes to more complicated issues The complaint department on websites like Facebook don't meet the needs of our every day lives.

If only we had a direct line to God in this sense where we could take our complaints to him, instead of getting a voicemail machine saying this line is busy press one to leave a message. Human to human relationships will never go extinct because they are necessary for the survival of our species. Let's face it folks we are not digital people we live in an age where being digital or being online is the norm. There are some things that can't be resolved in an email and there are some things that can't be resolved on Facebook hence there are times in our lives when we need to go back to the way we lived 20 years ago and live in a way that conflict can resolve itself without the use of technology. Press one for more information.

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
