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.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storeho...

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually th...

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit...
