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.

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...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring.

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
