"Closed until Further Notice." A Heavenly Tale.

"Closed until Further Notice." A Heavenly Tale.

A godly man died and appeared at the Pearly Gates. When he got there, there was a sign that said "Closed until further notice." He walked up to the Gates and noticed they were pad locked, so he looked around and noticed a rough bench nearby, that was empty. He sat down and fervently prayed that Saint Peter would appear to him to remove his confusion. Just then the Gates opened and the man could see a little bit inside. He saw empty halos scattered near by the entrance, but no one was inside! Then the godly man heard a loud sound as of a Trumpet, and immediately saw another sign on the Gates, which read "We are temporarily re-located on the earth, check the Book in front of you and see if your name is in it." The godly man checked and his name was there and immediately, an Angel appeared in front of him and said "Let's get you to where the others are." The godly man was immediately in a glorified human body, riding a white horse as he was on the earth in the middle of a war.

Many may not realize it, but the bible teaches that Jesus is coming back to this earth again one day! There will be a real war fought from the heavens between the evil forces of this earth, and the good forces of saints and holy Angels found in Heaven, and on earth. Jesus promised His family that He would return one day for them. When this happens there will be a supper in Heaven for 7 years. When this finishes God will return to this earth to stop the forces of evil from destroying his planet. Jesus also taught that many people would be caught of guard when this happens. Will you be like the godly man, who found his name in the Book of Life and returned to earth to fight, or will you be caught off guard when Jesus comes again? Just somethings to think about!

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

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 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...
