Why a new social Convention?

Why a new social Convention?

Social convention was a word we used to use before social distancing. The conventions of our society used to be lived out with an awareness that God is present with us, so we shouldn't do anything to piss Him off. I'm not saying when this changed, but it definitely shifted over the past 20 years. Slowly we forgot our responsibility towards God and our neighbours and this brought God's judgment in our society. We have lost a lot of common sense and freedom by pushing God out from our society. However, I believe this can be reversed if enough good people want to experience living with the real awareness that God is directing our lives again. But in order to do this we need to start doing things differently. We need to change the way we see God.

The church has a distorted view of the Sovereignty of God, feeling that He no longer judges sin. The church has drifted so far, that they don't see the real need for forgiveness anymore. They are content to stay away from church for very long times, and they have lost the experience of holiness. They are more concerned about going to Heaven, then living the way God intended us to live in order to get there. They have forgot the meaning of grace, and that we are not to abuse God's grace. Grace and salvation are free gifts, but when something is free in our society today, it is usually taken advantage of.

We can not mock God, what we sow, we reap. The church likes to think they can hide from God. Ya right. The Bible says God cannot be mocked. We also feel that we don't need each other, denying the real teachings of Jesus. In my life, God was involved in everything, every aspect of our lives. This has changed and the church needs to be the first to repent of this. God gives us everything, and we can't even breathe without his help. To social distance ourselves from God is essentially our own demise. God sees how we are treating one another in this crisis and He is wanting us to show compassion not brutality. We as a society have forgotten about Judgment Day, and yes, somethings are beyond our control, but pushing God away, when He is the only one that can help us is a mistake, but this is the new social convention. This is Mike.

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...

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 ...
