Environmental Urbanization.

The Flooding crisis in Toronto.

With the population increase came urban sprawl, and poor city planning created a concrete jungle. The solution to the problem isn't to make people leave the city, but to change the urbanization of what already exists. The idea isn't to create a camp city, but if we are serious about solving the flooding problem, there must be more green than concrete, the problem is the city is already overdeveloped and things must be re-made in order to accommodate for the acts of nature that will continue. Our earth is a living organism and in order for humans to live in harmony with nature, we have to learn how to respect it. We cannot control God or the natural order of humanity, we have to learn to live with the natural order of nature. Human beings have a collective mind, and we should still use our mind to solve problems, not make them worse!

We cannot fully harness nature, and we shouldn't try, and we cannot fully prevent natural disasters like flooding, but through science we can understand the nature of what causes somethings to happen, and how to prevent them from getting worse. We now know that the flooding crisis in Toronto is caused by too much development and not enough natural space, so our politicians should accommodate for new natural spaces which could absorb the cause of our flooding. How to do this is a political issue, and there must be a political solution. I'm not talking about driving people out of their homes to create artificial wetlands and marshes, but seriously thinking about our current environment, and adapting new ways of accommodating nature. Wishing that it will stop raining is not realistic, we have come this far together, so collectively we need to wish for better environmental planning. It is never too late to take what God has given us, and work with it.

Environmental Urbanization can work in the same way that we plan for the future, and plan for our eternity. Ignorance only fuels the fires of ignorance in that you will only make our society worse by not taking it seriously. We need food to survive, and fuel for heat in the winter. We need to harness things like solar energy for everyone, and make it affordable. Leaving a legacy for our children is a righteous cause, and expecting them to solve it is cruel. 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...
