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.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

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...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
