The Possible Complete Decline and Collapse of moral North America.

It is clear that biblical morality has been on the decline in North America since September 11th 2001. With the former World Trade Towers disaster in New York City, the world was plunged into a religious and moral decline that in my opinion, will take centuries to recover from. No religion is to blame as a result, in my opinion it is an absence of peace in our societies, that is a result from the tragic events in 2001 and the moral and religious divisions that we were plunged into daily as North Americans. This absence of peace in our societies has produced a dark religious vacuum for many of us who don't have any religious affiliations, and has created a huge problem for those of us that do. It created a legalistic environment and structure (and exclusivity) to the gospel in (some) of our churches because of fear of continuing persecution.

The current church has become very protective of their doctrine, because of religious persecution and misunderstanding from the world. The Church because of it's exclusivity is desperately trying to hold onto the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's way in dealing with minorities and communities that are different, has been harsh, even to the point of persecuting their own brothers and sisters in Christ. Those saved by the blood of the Lamb. The church is currently struggling with compassion and brutality, and harshness towards anyone who disagrees with her. Her current doctrine is a battlefield, although correct and needs not be changed. We need to learn different ways to engage the public without bringing shame to ourselves, or the Name of Jesus Christ.

Otherwise our possibly brutal and harsh response to anyone who disagrees with her (the church) and it's teachings takes us to the point of religious persecution and away from our own freedom. We don't want to open the door further to more religious freedoms being taken from our society, for as the Church goes, so goes the world. 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...
