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.

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...
