We have Forgotten the Golden Rule!

We have Forgotten the Golden Rule.

Jesus taught us to do unto others as you would have done unto you! You don't have to be a Christian to understand this. The golden rule was meant for all of humanity. It was a principle that we used to run our lives by. We used to keep in our minds that there will be a judgment day, and humans used to live their lives with this in mind. Over the past 20 years or so, our society has forgotten God, and deconstructed western morality. Our once Christian society has been replaced with atheism and paganism, and for generations what once used to be a God fearing nation has been overthrown. It seems that most people don't care anymore about this, or about heaven and hell, and are refusing to acknowledge or believe in the basic fundamentals of our ancestors. Even now, people are content to live how they seem fit, but this goes against the fundamental doctrine of God's justice.

God's justice says that we will be repaid for all eternity based on how we lived our lives, and the choices we made. There is something called sin, and if we die unforgiven we end up in a place called hell forever. There are other religions that believe in this form of Justice, so it is fair to say that it is real. People disagree on how we are forgiven, but in most major religions there is the idea of punishment and rewards! We used to believe that the good should be rewarded and the evil punished, but it is the good now that is suppressed, and men pursue evil more than good now. Unfortunately this exists not just in the world, but has slowly taken over the church too. Men and women have forgotten the golden rule taught by Jesus and instead are creating God into their own image!

Why does there have to be any afterlife, why as some say that we just cease to exist after we die! They believe that mankind created religion to ease their conscience, and any idea of having a relationship with God or knowing him, is just insanity! Yes, I'll agree that there is no way of proving God's existence, but I'll disagree that we can't know him or be known that we are forgiven and loved by God! I know this because I have faith in the existence of God despite what other's disbelief tells me. We are living in uncertain times, but we can meet any uncertainty with faith! Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen! God is not asking humans to suspend their disbelief, in order to find him, God draws people to himself through goodness and love. Many people live selfish lives, not holding in their thoughts the presence of God! They believe God is a uncertainty and should be suppressed. If you are right, I am sorry, but if you are wrong, I pray God would forgive you! This is Mike.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

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...
