The Wrath of God.

 If we forsake God, He will forsake us. 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.


The bible goes on to say that although they could know God, they chose not to know Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. God pours his wrath upon humanity when He clearly says that He can be known, but we choose to suppress that knowledge and truth, and live our lives like He doesn’t exist. God gave us life, and we will never be happy until we choose to believe in the Lord. People think they are smarter than God, and we feel that we don’t need our Creator. We put our needs above the needs of others, and pretend like God doesn’t exist. But the problem is that God does exist, and by choosing to act like He doesn’t we are breaking one of the Ten Commandments that says; “You shall have no other gods before me.”


When we fail to acknowledge that God exists, we are also in fact saying that “sin” doesn’t exist. If sin doesn’t exist then Jesus Christ didn’t have to die for us because there was nothing for him to die for. We are also saying that we do not need a Saviour, that we are fine on our own, and we don’t need Jesus Christ or his Church! Yes it is a choice to accept that Jesus Christ died for your sins, but you actually have to believe in the reality of sin, that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour! No wonder the bible says; “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Luke 5:32) If we fail to admit we are sinners we will never repent, and if we never repent we will never acknowledge God. 


We will go to our graves unforgiven, outside the free grace of God. Not knowing or experiencing the grace that Jesus died for us to have, so that we could live. We will never understand or experience the love of God. We will think that God’s love is like human love, and we will never fear the Lord. We will fail to teach our children about the Bible, so they too can be saved! They will grow up not knowing the Lord and His wonderful amazing grace. No wonder the Bible says; “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:17) The bible teaches us to acknowledge God; “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:6) so we should really consider doing this. 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 storeho...

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 th...

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...
