Why we need to Call upon the Mercy of God.

Why we need to Call upon the Mercy of God.

God in His eternality is infinitely Holy. We as His creatures are finite and by nature sinners. We need to calł upon the mercy of God because as sinners we deserve hell. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. We need to realize that we are nothing in ourselves and it is God who deserves our praise and our adoration. Pride was the fall of Satan, and it can be our fall too. Stubbornness and unbelief kept the Israelites in the desert for 40 years, as their refusal to obey God. We need God's mercy, because without it we live like rebels deserving of God's judgment and wrath.

God's mercy is infinite and we need it to survive this trial that the world is facing right now. I have wondered why the world doesn't believe in God's mercy and I have concluded that they feel they don't deserve it (Which is why God gives it.) God gives some people a very hard life, and He gives others a relatively easy life, but when we are faced with problems we don't have the strength or solution to solve, it is very easy to forget God's mercy! God desires to give us His mercy, but we must acknowledge that we need it. Mercy is an attribute of God, and when we ask for it He withholds the punishment that we deserved.

This is what God did through Jesus, He offers us His mercy and we need to accept it. When we refuse mercy, we are saying we can handle our problems on our own and we don't need God's help. This spells our own disaster, and we can't blame anyone else if we are suffering after we refused God's mercy. We should never be afraid to receive God's mercy in our lives. Sin blinds us from this truth, and we go on our own desert journey because when we refuse the mercy of God, he leaves us to ourselves. Hell will be filled with people who refused the mercy of God. Satan blinds us of our need of God's mercy, because the moment we fully understand His grace, our fears will leave us. God has nothing to offer us if we reject His mercy. This should frighten us into calling on God's mercy to help us. God, be merciful to me a sinner. 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
