Lord Hear our Prayer.

Lord Hear our Prayer.

For the starving child who will go to bed hungry tonight. For the mother and child who don't have a bed. For those who are trying to live in a world that has forgotten love and peace. For those who have grown tired and indifferent to what is right and good. For domestic slavery. For innocent victims of abuse and violence. For those caught in between peace and war. For love to return to this country. For the poor and handicapped and elderly. For those forgotten by society. For the mentally ill. For religious zealots.

For broken people and broken families. For those in our government. For just laws and just wars. For all the homeless. For mistreated pets and wild animals. For our environment and the extinction of our planet. For travellers and refugees. For those unjustly imprisioned. For the innocent. For single mothers. For single fathers. For children of divorce. For those who are dying. For those who think they will never die. For the forgotten. For the abused.

For those who can't afford to buy food. For those who are lonely. For those who will be forsaken. For those who are hated. For those who hate. For those without daily hope or friendship. For those too sick to work. For those who would like to go back to work. For patients in hospitals. For psychiatrists and their staff. For those who enforce just laws. For those in the media. For our veterans. For our families. For all our places of worship. For continued care for the sick. For peace of mind and for the suffering and forgotten. For true justice for those being used by our society. Lord hear our prayer.

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...
