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.

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.

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...

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 ...
