Heaven won't be for the lazy.

The first question I want to ask you is do you plan on going to Heaven when you die? If the answer is yes, then you'll be surprised to know that Heaven won't be a place of idleness. An idle mind is the devil's playground so the saying goes, and you might want to know why you won't get to do everything you dreamed of when you get there? You see, us sinners like to take our time in this world. We like to wake up early, relieve ourselves, make a cup of coffee and attach our hands to our lifegiving support otherwise known as our phones. I hate to tell you this, but there will be no email in Heaven. People these days long for a less stressful life, and a less complicated life and it really takes energy to live in this 3 dimensional Universe. However when we depend on technology, some of us become lazy, and we use our personal devices as a kind of weapon to wage digital war on our enemies. Because we will have no more enemies in Heaven, we will not need to start wars with one another through our absentminded use of our personal technology.

We will once again be living in the real world. Just ask someone who has died if they have time for texting and phone calls? Of course that is a hypothetic example, when were gone were gone and we only have God to contend with then, and I don't believe the Almighty has a personal email address, you can reach him by just simply praying to Him. However, when we are in the Presence of our Lord, I don't think that we will be distracted while giving him an account for the life we lived in the body, because Heaven has it's own personal accounting system called the Book of Life, and if your name is not written there, or has been erased for some reason, God will have to cancel your reservation.

Like the man who showed up at the wedding feast without a wedding garment, he was cast out into outer darkness. It's not that God didn't like the cloths he had on, he lacked the proper right life that would have showed he was taking his religion seriously while he was on earth. When we arrive to the marriage supper of the Lamb with a beach towel around our waist, it will show that we simply are not dressed properly. That is why it is so important to keep the commandments. This is Mike.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

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 Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
