The Congruency of Time.

Time is congruent not in form but in fashion. Events change the substance of time, but they don't change the nature of time. Time will come to an end at the Second Coming of Jesus in time, but time will continue in it's same nature, nothing can change the nature of time. Why is this important you ask, because everything in time is constantly changing, but the one thing that doesn't change is time itself. If time doesn't change, then it remains linear, and although events change our place in time, the nature of our true Selves remains unchanged. We can change our appearance, or our physical features, but the essence of our souls remains the same, even when time ends.

There are things in our essence as souls that can change like our preferences and desires, and because our circumstances can change, naturally we adapt to them. However this cannot change our essence, God created our souls, and when we find God our souls begin a journey in uniting ourselves to God. This is the highest thing a person can experience, for in finding God and being united to Him, we have found the meaning of life. A person who doesn't want to be a saint, settles for tastes for God, but God calls us to make it our life's goal to seek Him and to be eventually found and united to Him in Heaven.

To a certain degree, we are already united to Jesus Christ through the holy spirit that lives in us, but the bible promises us that we will experience the fullness of God in Heaven, we should never settle for anything less. This is what the bible means when it says we are to be holy. We have a taste of it on earth, but in our sanctification here, we should be desiring more and more of holiness. This doesn't come into conflict with the doctrine of Justification, because we have to practise our standing with God if we are going to be comfortable seeing him in Heaven.

When we believe in this way, we are yielding to the holy spirit's work in our life, and participate or work out our own salvation. The reason isn't just so that we miss purgatory, this life is a form of purgatory when we suffer. However, sanctification is voluntary.

God will not force it upon us, so if we fail at that, we fail in living out our lives as holy people. Yes, Christians are sanctified, but we are called to be good after we are saved. To fail at this is to miss a truly happy and holy life, and ultimately to lose our rewards in Heaven. Imagine for all eternity being 100% happy, 100% all the time! God promises us the greatest joys, not in this life but in the eternal Heaven, but you won't be happy there if you are not trying to be holy now. 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

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

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
