The Chatterbox of the mind.

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 find your soul being challenged and you will find assurance for your faith and salvation! Apart from that, they are only interested in doctrine, and this can be a problem in the sense that doctrine with out love can be brutal. If you know your history, the church literally killed people who didn't line up with their spiritual beliefs (Inquisition) and the church of Jesus Christ may not be killing people literally now, but they are creating an environment of judgement and hostility that lacks the compassion and love of the church in history,

Yes, there is a God, and he knows what these celebrity Pastors are doing. They are brutally communicating truth about scripture and insisting that their followers follow them blindly. They are using the bible for their own purposes, however God is still using the word of God that is being preached through them to speak to His people. The reason why so many people hate Christians now is not because they are holy and stand out in society against immorality, it is because they are obnoxious and filled with pride. "The people" the church is metaphorically "killing" these days are good God fearing people, who stand out in their church because of their faith. I will call this the mini inquisition, where anyone who stands against their Pastor will be killed.

In an age where we can instantly block someone from being our Facebook friends people in real life think that they can just cut themselves off from certain people (I'm talking about the church) and not have anything to do with them anymore because they don't fit their doctrinal statement. If you think about it, everyone breaks the spiritual law. I believe we are living in a sort of dark age now, where there are many Christians hiding because of their faith, and our leaders should stop intimidating the people
of God. This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

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 ...
