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.

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

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

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
