Being Silly.

(What Makes us who we are.)

Being silly is fun when you are a kid, but adults who act silly are seen as foolish. If you have never thought deep thoughts, I would like to challenge you to consider a few things. Humans are said to be complex beings, but religion teaches that we have a soul, but it is also my belief that we are more than just flesh and blood. Who wants to know the reason why we were put here, I'm sure it wasn't just to twiddle our thumbs, no I believe humans where created for greatness, but a different kind of greatness. A love that can only be found in loosing yourself! I don't mean to say that we should get lost, some of us are already there, it's a discovery that comes by grace, when we realize that there is purpose to my life.

When I was 21, I had a discovery and I have been thinking about it ever since. We can be youthful even though we might not be young, and we can always be happy no matter where we are in life. The problem is that we need to learn how to find ourselves again. We could be lost, and not even know it. Great people and great saints through out history can still teach us things about ourselves if we let them. There is a wisdom in humbling ourselves to at least remember what other people in time learned on their journey on this planet.  We should never close our minds and our hearts to what made us who we are, even if we are not that same person anymore.

What I have been trying to say is this; we need to loose ourselves (in the right way) in order to rediscover what makes us happy and why we were put on this earth. There are real Angels and so forth, and if we look for the beauty in life, not what makes us feel unloved and unwanted, we might discover what we might feel is missing, if that is where you are right now! 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...
