Why God is Present in Time.

 You might think that God is a distant deity, that His existence is apart from time, but you have a wrong view of God’s abiding presence. Time is something that the Lord created, He fully exists outside of time in eternity. There is not three Gods, but One God in three distinct persons. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. When a person gets saved or born again, the Holy Spirit essentially takes up residence in that person’s physical body and their spirit or soul. God essentially lives inside the body and soul of a person who is born again, that is why the bible says “be holy for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16)


There is no being holy, apart from the Holy Spirit. The Spirit uses all conditions and circumstances and people in a believers life, to make that person holy. God is holy, so to live in His presence now, and eternally one must have the Holy Spirit. You cannot buy the spirit, he is given freely when one repents of their sins and trusts in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, which I did when I was 21. I am now 47 and the Holy Spirit is still in me the same way he was in me, when I was 21. 


God doesn’t change, and because the Son of God already died for my sins and rose from the dead for my justification, Jesus no longer needs to die for me and God has given me and all true christians the gift of the Holy Spirit to be with me forever. Even after death, the Holy Spirit will abide with me for all eternity. This is why we will be able to live in holiness, love and perfection for all eternity, because of what Jesus did for me on the cross and the gift of the Holy Spirit. 


I as all other believers can never be separated from God, because not only is God’s Spirit with me, but he is in me, sanctifying me daily. God exists outside time, but Christ through the Holy Spirit exists in time. He is building His church, and he lives inside of all true believers through the Holy Spirit. 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 ...
