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.

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 ...
