Why the Modern World?

Since the first advent of Jesus Christ, the world has been living in the age of the church. We call this the modern era in today’s vernacular. Does the modern world have an expiration date? The answer is yes! Some theologians call the time we are living now the post modern era. While that is a term I have heard, the modern age or era will only really end when the church age ends. The bible doesn’t teach that we will know the time when this happens, but it is the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:20 “teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen.

No matter what shape the secular world takes, the modern world will never cease to be until the church is taken off this planet through the rapture. At that point the modern world will be transformed into the system of the anti-Christ. The governments of the world will be united at that point, there will be a one world religion and a one world political leader. After a time of peace, the anti-Christ will unleash his wrath upon the earth, until God starts bringing His Revelation Judgments onto this earth. The wrath of the anti-Christ and the wrath of God upon the world, will bring the swift and final judgment to all of unbelieving humanity by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ will come from Heaven with all his angels and Saints. We believe the rapture of the church can happen at any moment, there is nothing holding this back. The modern era/world still gives men, women and children time to repent and receive the forgiveness of their sins by God. But when the age or dispensation of the church ends, so will the opportunity to be forgiven end too. 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

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

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
