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.

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...
