The Rejection of God’s Moral Law.

 Man is not an intrinsically moral being. When we objectively reject the moral laws of God we are left with no moral standard in which to live and judge our lives and to judge injustice. We do what we think is right in our own lives (Judges 21:25), which results in chaos, injustice, cruelty and rampant sin. When we fail to judge ourselves by looking into the perfect mirror of God’s justice, we have nothing to base right and wrong on, which eventually leads to tragedy and invites God’s judgment into our lives, unless we repent.


We weren’t put here on earth on our own despite what evolutionists say. We have a Creator who has revealed to us His moral law, and what we need to do to be blessed by our Creator and to do what is right. As a Christian, the roots of my faith is Judaism, for centuries God revealed His law to His people, the Jews. Whenever His people strayed from God’s ways, God brought judgment to His people to bring them back to Himself. As a Christian, my bible teaches me that the law was a shadow of the good things to come (Hebrews 10:1), namely that Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, died for our sins and rose from the dead, and now God writes the law on our hearts, and gives us the Holy Spirit in order to help us keep the new law. (2 Corinthians 3:3)


Rejection of God’s ways just proves that mankind are sinners. It proves that unless we are born again and given a new nature, our default is to live in rebellion and chaos, because our sin natures only knows how to sin. Man is constantly trying to get their own way, they are continually running away from God, like Adam who hid from the presence of the Lord, when he sinned in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8). Consequently man and woman are still trying to hide from the Lord, now content to make up their own rules. 


Our sinful nature doesn’t want to be accountable, it doesn’t want to do what’s right, but that is precisely why Jesus Christ had to die on the cross for our sins. We need to be redeemed, and if you have any doubt about that, just take a look at the condition of the world and how we treat our fellow man, who is created in the image of God. We need God’s law in order to reveal our sins to us (Galatians 3:24), without the law we wouldn’t know what sin is (Romans 7:7). Isn’t it just in our sinful nature to reject the law that leads us to salvation? Warning, if we reject God’s law, we are actually rejecting God’s plan to save us from ourselves and the consequences of our sins, which is eternal. God can’t stop this from happening if we reject the law that leads to salvation, he can only wait until we die to cast us into eternal Hell, which is the judgment for rejecting His plan of salvation found through Jesus Christ.


So in conclusion, the law is important because it gives us a sense of right and wrong which should lead us to repentance. Without the law, we wouldn’t know what sin is, and we wouldn’t feel our need for a Saviour, or our need to repent. No matter how righteous you think you are, you cannot save yourself. Jesus Christ died for us and rose again so we could be forgiven (Romans 10:9). This is why the law is important. 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...
