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.

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 storeho...

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 th...

Who Defines Sin?

The short answer to this question is God defines sin. But how does He do it? Sin is defined in the word of God the Bible. The Bible was composed by many authors but these authors were inspired by the spirit of God, as though the spirit of God was writing through them. So the question is “Who wrote the Bible? Man or God?” The way I can explain this is that God wrote it using the agency of man. Before the New Covenant, there were prophets and holy people who spoke for God. Their words were recorded and when the books were compiled, including the books of the New Testament, we have the Bible. Because the Bible is God’s word, God Himself has preserved it throughout history. We understand who God is, and what is acceptable and not acceptable to God by reading the Bible. We learn this history of salvation, Israel’s deliverance and what God has done for the problem of sin, that every human being has a part in. Sin is clearly defined in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in ...
