Why the World is in Moral Decline?

Mankind has forgotten the truth, and this is why most of the world is declining morally. The Holy Spirit lives on this planet, but the Bible teaches that mankind has an eternal choice to accept or reject the truth! People have become selfish and have placed greed and money above right living, and the search for God. When people forget God, and suppress His existence, humankind enters an existential crisis and looses it’s identity. Moral decline happened in the times of Noah, and God sent a worldwide flood to destroy mankind. Apart from God, human beings have no real goodness or righteousness in themselves.

When people try to be good apart from belief in God, the source of all goodness they are relying on their own fallen human natures to be in right standing in God’s sight. Apart from the sacrifice of Jesus, mankind has no forgiveness. When religion is suppressed mankind becomes their own god, and becomes an idolatrous people. Idolatry is not just worshiping idols, but it is choosing to worship yourself as God.

This is the sin of pride that Lucifer committed before he became the devil. Human beings are not God, but they are acting like they are gods, which has brought the wrath of the real God to this world, like never before. To be saved from the wrath of God, you must be humble and merciful and believe in the truth, but when you become greedy and selfish, you perpetuate the judgment the world is experiencing right now for turning from God and rejecting the truth.

Pontius Pilate wanted to know if Jesus Christ was telling him the truth, and said to Jesus, (John 18:38) 38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”

In the bible Jesus says He is the truth, (John 14:6). When the world rejects the claims of Jesus Christ they are left alone, given over to their sins, which is God’s judgment or wrath upon them. 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...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...
