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.

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...

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...
