Hope is Found in the Heart of Jesus.

Hope is found in the Heart of Jesus.


 It's not too difficult to think highly of ourselves, 

but the bible calls this pride. The purpose for our lives are found

when we humble ourselves and receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. This

happened to me when I was 21. I'm sure I knew about Jesus, but I didn't have a

personal relationship with him, which happens when we are born again! In this

life, God gives each of us a choice today to be right with God. The gospel tells

us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23).

That means that there is nothing we can do or ever will do, that can earn us

justification with God. Jesus died for our sins, and he rose again, so when we

ask him to forgive us through repentance and faith, God gives us a second chance

and we become born again. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, they

were eventually cast out. We live with the doctrine of Original Sin, because it

is attributed to Adam in the Garden of Eden. We died spiritually when they

sinned, and we all inherited a sin nature along with our human nature, which in

actuality makes us all sinners. Because of Adam's sin, every human being is born

spiritually dead. The bible calls this being dead in our trespasses, "And you

were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the

course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit

that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in

the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind,

and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind." Ephesians 2:1-3

| ESV But God actually did something about this situation if we keep reading in

Ephesians, "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which

he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together

with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated

us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages

he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in

Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not

your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may

boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which

God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:4-10 | ESV

God offers the free Gift of salvation to everyone who believes, but that is the

only condition, we have to believe it! When I was 21, I heard this for the first

time, and I said the sinners prayer to receive Jesus as my personal Lord and

Saviour. The bible says in Romans that everyone who calls upon the name of the

Lord, will be saved! It's God's promise to all mankind, man, woman and child,

that if we all call upon the name of Jesus and receive him personally into our

lives, he will come into ourselves and forgive our sins, and make us ready for

Heaven! The choice is yours! 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...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring.

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
