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.

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...

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...
