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.

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...
