Are Places of Worship Essential?

Are Places of Worship Essential?

The short answer is yes, but not obviously for everyone. There was a time in my life where religion played a secondary role in my life, and it wasn't until I started to feel my need for Jesus that I woke up to the truth. But you would just say that is my truth, and not yours. I don't wish to offend anyone, but if my religious rights are being overturned to protect those who don't believe, then that is a problem. The reason why some of us believe our faith and the right to practice it is essential is because it has value in our lives. God has changed us from the person we used to be into something new, and we value our relationship with God more than anything else. But you would say that you value God more than your health? It is God who gives us our health, and it is also our God who determines when and how we are going to die. It is not right to say we are putting other people's life in danger, because even if you survived the corona virus, your soul can be lost forever, in a place called hell.

It is not right to take away the freedoms of one group of people in order to give them to another. Praying to God is essential and our God requires that of us. He doesn't force us to worship Him, and he doesn't force us not to, so you should be aware that we serve a God who is in control of everything, even the corona virus. Our God is sovereign over everything, but He wants mankind to come to him freely. When people rebel against God, and force others to do the same, God sends his judgment upon all people. When we abuse the common grace and blessings that God gives to us, he has no choice but to punish us.

Opening up places of worship sends a sign to our Creator the Almighty God, that we haven't forgotten Him, which if we do, he promises the wicked they shall be judged and turned into hell, all the nations that forget God (Psalm 9:17). God's Justice is displayed when this happens, so when we as a society say we don't need God, and that we don't need the help of Divine Providence, God could be getting ready to send even more judgement to the ones who rejected Him. 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...
