Why can’t we come back to God right away after we sin?

by

Do you feel like after you’ve sinned you have to wait for some time before you can talk with God again? Like there is a probationary period that must happen and then it’s okay to pray and read Bible again? Is that the right thing, is that how it’s supposed to work?

Do I want to get used?

by

God loves us, God needs us. We are created to worship Him, to serve Him and His purposes. We are nothing without him. Our worth depends on Him using us for His purposes. And on and on and on…. Then God is just a user, He takes what He wants and uses it for His purposes? He doesn’t care about who I am, but i’m valuable because I can do something for him? I’m supposed to find purpose in His system and get used? Look at gold, precious metals, diamonds and other stones. When are they valued? When people need … Read more

Where do answers come from?

by

I was rustling in the kitchen drawer and accidentally grabbed the knife out of the drawer with the sharp end and it didn’t cut me. Thanking God, I though, “but He let it happen.” Is this so I can notice and appreciate Him? Sounds even more wrong.

I say, God, here is a chance for us to talk, for You to answer (or I will call Alex Shevchenko), since I don’t have an answer in my head, so you have to put it there. Then I realize that I have read the whole bible few times and examples from there are in my head so I can get an answer. (Then I start thinking about different examples and realize it’s easier to call Alex). And then I realize that if I want an answer I have to think, remember Bible, review and remember stories and examples and details from the Bible. As you see, I didn’t receive an answer right away, but I did receive a guided first step. And this first step is reasoned and ‘the ball is in my court’ now. So I will go search, but since you have heard what I said, ‘the ball is in your court’ too about questions you may have.

Evolution.

by

My science teacher finally convinced me that Evolution was how things came about. The science has been correct all along. Think for yourselves: Evolution was the reason that plants and trees and animals and people came out of dirt and rocks (the earth). Evolution preprogrammed the living people and animals and plants and trees to have habits of survival and reproduction. Evolution assigned and perfected specific behaviors in vegetation, animals and people. Evolution shaped the nervous system with brain in the center of it and all the complex systems within a body of each living organism on the earth. Evolution … Read more

Why should we read the Bible!

by

Luther realized that each person is saved by his/ her own faith and later Luther and others worked to bring the Bible, the Word of God, to the people, because the Catholic Church (and other entities) used ignorance to control masses (fear, indulgences, guilt, etc). Today lack of knowledge of Bible comes not from an entity, but from within the people who daily choose not to read the Bible. As a result we come to the same ignorance. Because we don’t know what is written in the Bible we have fallen into thinking that each of us can have to his/ … Read more

Mind

by

Your mind is a room, your mind is where you spend most of your life, your mind is your inner world, your mind is the secret room, your mind is where you come back every time others leave you, every time you are alone. When you sit on the toilet, when you chew a breakfast sandwich, when you have a long drive, when you’re falling asleep. Your thoughts build you up and your thoughts take you down. When you start your life your mind is clean, the room is empty, the walls are white. Now you’re twenty-five, or thirty-three, or … Read more
