The Roots of Religion.

The Roots of Religion.

One's convictions should be based on history. The more we all remember about the world and our place in it the more we can bring to our present moments in our current history. Present moments should be shaped by our collective good, not our collective evil. Mankind has the power to commit great good if our will is strong, but our wills must be shaped by the good in history, not the evil. To forget what is our peace is a mistake, peace begins by trying to be good, and morality is a start. There is no need to try to be good on your own for this is impossible. Our society must change direction, for this is the way we saved ourselves in the past. There is a lot of encouragement and psychological therapy, but this must not be done in a bubble or isolation, there has to be choices that shape the direction of cities, towns etc, and that starts by you helping other people.

The roots of all religion must be courage and thankfulness. Without courage we would give in to evil, and you can't have true religion where evil is present. Courage must remove the fear of man and it must settle accounts with that thing that is trying to destroy it. Thankfulness helps us to see through our difficulties and gives us the courage to face the evil (if it exists). Knowledge with out power is weakness. To say you believe, but remain a spectator is useless. It doesn't have to be hard work, but we make it so.

Getting off the treadmill to nowhere helps put your problems in perspective. We all need more perspective to survive our lives. Becoming fatalistic doesn't help, to see the rainbow through the clouds is what will take our lives in a more balanced direction and perspective and health is extremely important to us now. In our quest, we don't need to over analyze things, because when we do this we freeze. How do we move forwards without taking the rights of others away? By respect for the truth of all people, we can respect our own truth. If I feel threatened by your truth I surrender into it. We didn't have this problem in the 20th century, so this answer is an ongoing revelation. It is the cause of many fights, and until we figure out how this is done, there still will be conflict between the believer and the unbeliever. Peace is the answer, but how to achieve this globally still is a mystery. This is Mike.

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 storehouse, that

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

  When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives.   Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

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 val
