How the Gospel can free you from Hate.

God’s love is all encompassing that it can change our hearts from bitterness to love. When we fully embrace the love that God has for all of humanity it can free us from demanding that we get our way all the time, and it puts others first. People want to be loved, and there is nothing greater to know that God loves you and He accepts you as you are. How we experience this love is through faith in Jesus Christ. He was put to death by angry sinners because they had never seen unconditional love the way Jesus lived his life. The society that Jesus lived in was one of rules and religious law and Jesus broke almost every tradition that the religious Jews were accustomed to.

He ate with sinners, broke ceremonial laws in regards to washing hands before they ate, taught it was more important to honour your mother and father than keeping rules about traditional giving and other traditions from the law. He set a lady free from the punishment of death after she was caught in the act of adultery by her community, and healed a person on the sabbath day when it was considered an act of work, when no work was to be done. Because of this many people doubted Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah because surely the Messiah wouldn’t have acted in this way.

But Jesus was there to set up a new way of doing things called the new covenant. He eventually removed the barrier between Jew and Greek, and through his death and resurrection became the Lord of both the Jew and Gentile. Nearly, over 2000 years have passed and Christians are no longer waiting the first coming of the Messiah but we are awaiting for his second coming. Before Jesus comes again, God is giving people a chance to repent because when Jesus comes back again he is not coming back to save people, but to bring the final judgment to this world. He is not coming back to this earth alone, but is bringing with him armies of saints and holy angels, so if you are not prepared for that Day, I encourage you to put your faith in Jesus now! He loves you and desires to be your friend, not your Judge. You must make a free choice for Jesus now. 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
