Living Your Legacy.

 Each successive generation holds out new and different possibilities, each one different from the other. God has a lot to say about generations in the bible and how they adapt or accept the word of God. It is quite possible that an entire generation can miss the boat so to speak, and collectively cause more damage than previous generations. It is not the fault of one particular individual, but each individual adds to the generational sins of each generation. When a righteous man lives on the earth, he leaves a blessing for successive generations. Psalm 112 says "Happy is the person who honours the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands. The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed. His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever." (Psalm 112:1-3 Good News Bible) 

When a righteous man leaves a legacy of holiness, the bible says "But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws." (Exodus 20:6) So each individual has a choice to love and obey the Lord, and as a result an entire generation is blessed who do the same. Leaving a godly legacy is one of the most important things you can do, because it lasts forever. How you will be remembered is the result of the way in which you lived your life. How you live usually determines how you die, and the godly man or woman has hope in their death, (Proverbs 14:32). You can live with integrity by the choices you make. Make sure you always deal honestly and fairly with other people, and walk closely and humbly with the Lord. It doesn't matter how smart you are, but you must have a real faith. Living your life with faith is what the bible talks about, and without faith you won't please God. 


Faith doesn't have to be perfect, but when generations lack faith you can still live your life with faith. God won't cancel His blessings on you if He sees you are trying. Walking with faith isn't easy, that's why Christianity is called the narrow way, because there are few who find it. When you have found your path, be faithful and watch God work. Your life potentially has the power to change an entire generation and after you are gone, your work will be finished on earth, but your legacy will go on from heaven. 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 ...
