The Super Blogosphere of a parallel word.

In 1999 I went into crisis. I was experiencing a mental illness for the first time in my life and I felt like I was dying. I had been exposed to mental illness before with family, but this was happening to me and my pride was being deeply cut down. I write about my story in a book called "Hearts Linked by Courage" by the Canadian Mental Health Association available in Canada, so I don't want to go into to many details here that I talked about in my story. Some time ago I read a story of a christian who was very sick, and wondering how God would use them now that they were confined to a hospital bed. The conclusion was that in that very bed that they were put by God, she still had a mind and she still had the holy spirit. How could she work out her sanctification and salvation, (Philippians 2:12 NIV) " Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and tremb...

I don't know if you have been there, it's 6:58a m and you woke from a restless sleep only to turn on christian television and still there is no relief. Most of the problems we face in life we like to blame others for, and in a very real sense others are to blame for their lack of love and compassion. I saw the movie "the circle" when it came out, and all it just showed was that everybody is connected. Weither you like it or not, we need each other as human beings. When you have faith, you can see that others don't, and this can bring to you a sense of discouragement especially if you belong to a church and you feel terribly alone.  I have experienced being a part of many churches that claimed to know Christ, but these people were so ruthless that if Christ appeared to them in their church they wouldn't recognize him. I believe these people have a sincere love for the bible and this is why it is good to be a part of these bible churches, because you will ...

What constitutes wickedness. The psalms are clear about the fate of the wicked if they don't turn from the wickedness and repent. I have been reading a lot of the bible on this topic of righteousness and wickedness, not that by chance I want to become wicked but because I see a lot of wickedness around me and I want to make sense of my world, and the way I do that is though the Bible. For some of you who are unbelievers, you might be wondering why I seem to be obsessed about this topic? You might think that my obsession of going to Heaven is a little absurd, but I can assure you that the holy spirit lives in my heart, and it is my desire to be counted as one of the faithful on the Last Day. I can assure you that I will not try to convince you against your will that there is a God, an afterlife, Jesus Christ, and that the bible is real. I can assure you that if it is your will to know more about God, then you have come to the right place in reading this blog entry. God is a spirit...

Sabbath rest, what is it? It is when by faith we enter into God's rest as described see Hebrews 4; Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.   2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. a 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” b And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.  4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” c   5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.” 6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did n...

I was thinking about this question yesterday after I came home from church. I was feeling frustrated that earlier in the day. this answer seemed to come to me though the bible, but when I went to church it just clouded my answer. To answer this question, we must turn to the bible. in particular a Gideon Bible.  https://www2.gideons.org/become-a-christian  The following link explains how to become a Christian, I will copy and paste it here, but providing a link could be easier, although it might be disabled! We sometimes think that it is impossible to understand God's salvation plan, we need visions of Heaven or visions of Hell to make us feel extra spiritual. We need to attend church every Sunday, tithe ten percent of our income, attend small group or some kind of bible study plan, when in fact all God asks of us is to believe, then after we believe to keep on believing. In case you were wondering, the Gideon's bibles are the bibles that are found in hotel rooms. I think the...

I used to be a member of a Harvest Bible Chapel where I live in York Region. I had grown up Catholic, and became a born again Christian outside the Catholic church in 1995. I continued to attend the Catholic church, because I felt that my "conversion" was authentic and I didn't know enough about Bible doctrine, however I understood who Jesus was and for the first time in my life, I knew I had a real faith in the risen Lord. I understood that Jesus is God, and I understood that I had became alive spiritually. On my faith journey, I have come to understand that righteousness is given to us by God, but as a born again Christian I also came to understand eventually that my faith alone is  not enough for justification and that is not what I believe now. I do believe that the bible is God's instructions for salvation, but I do believe that all humans will be judged by their works on the Last Day. I have come to distrust the evangelical doctrine that our justification "...
