Why are we Backwards?

Contemporary society has a way of doing things backwards. Things that we prioritized are no longer a priority. We once valued traditional marriage and conservative values, but in the name of freedom we have liberated ourselves. But in the attempt to gain our freedom what have we really lost? Have we lost intimacy in marriage? Have we lost trust in relationships? Is our country more secure or less secure from our enemies? In the attempt for a more fair and just society have we pushed God out, and invited in personal person worship?

We all don’t have to think the same way to live together. Diversity includes freedom of thought, and my thought is are we trying to create a utopia without God? Just what is a utopia? I personally don’t think we can be personally liberated until we have made ourselves ready to die. Death for a believer brings true liberation. Yes we have been entrusted with this world, but by whom have we been entrusted with it? The Creator. Unless we acknowledge this, we will be continuously frustrated in our attempts to create a perfect world! The bible says that God frustrates the plans of the wicked, (psalm 33:10).

Unless we realize that we need God’s help in creating a just society, we are left to our own, and human beings are great sinners in need of repentance! This life isn’t all there is, but we are behaving like it is! Jesus said “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?” Yes, we all have a soul, and there are eternal rewards and punishments after we die. We used to live like we knew this, but pretending like this isn’t true doesn’t make it such. There are eternal truths and realities that have existed since the beginning of time! Time had a beginning, but why are we choosing to rail against God and His truth! The consequences for this belongs in the hands of a Holy and a Almighty God, Who can not lie. (Hebrews 6:18) And to Whom the angels and the demons are accountable to. If the angels and the demons will not get away with the good or bad they ultimately do, what makes you think that us mere mortals will?

We need to put God first again in all aspects of our society. It’s the right thing to do. “So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17) 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 Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
