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...

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...
