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.

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

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

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
