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.

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 Parable of the Ten Virgins.

 Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this:    “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.   2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.   4  The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.   5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6  “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7  “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.   8  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9  “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
