God in the Present Moment.

Society is slowly drifting away from living in the present moment, which is a shame because God can be only found in the present moment. When we begin to lose the ability to cultivate things like love, kindness and compassion, we lose other skills that reinforce conditions of the heart that create inner joy and happiness and also the ability to experience God. This is far from a pantheistic world view, but it is a worldview that supports faith and living in the Lord’s presence. When we forget how to live simply, our thoughts become constructed around our material things, and the ability to hold God in our thoughts becomes extremely difficult to achieve.

Repentance begins when we are able to see how we are living and change our thinking which changes our behaviour and the course of our lives. God is a spirit and He is love, therefore we must prepare our spirits to experience God’s love. The more humanity changes it’s focus outwards to material things, and what pleases our bodies and not God, the greater the disconnection we will feel from our Creator, until we learn to reconnect our souls to the source of our Salvation that exists beyond this creation.

God makes Himself known throughout His Creation, “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:18-20)

God gives us things to enjoy, but we need to be ready for the things God gives us, but God must come first. It’s impossible to enjoy the blessings of God if that is all we want from Him. God desires that we freely love Him, our eternity depends on this truth. If we are unwilling to love God now, we won’t be getting a second chance after we die to love Him. If we seek God now, we can find Him now, but there is nothing in the Bible that says we can seek Him in the afterlife. However God does promise a blessed afterlife for those who have been born again now. 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 ...
