Why Have a Blog?

As I live my life, I see so mach hate and evil in the world, which that makes me question, why do people do what they do?  The only objective answer that I could find, would be in the book that I read, I am talking about the Bible.  But wait, the Bible? isn't that an old book and isn't that book that was written by others who live more then two thousand year ago? Yes, that would be true, but that's not all, they wrote it because they had a revelation from God. 

There are two world views that explain our life:  One is the philosophical (which constantly changing), and second would be God's word from the Bible.  Two perspective that are trying to identify the meaning of life.  For example, both are trying to explain in how the world came to be; both world views are trying to give us the meaning in life.  However, they are both totally different in what they have to say.

Now, if we look at the world, there are laws that guide our life; no way, we as humans, can change that.  For example, studying about DNA, it has instructions to build the whole person.  But when we observe in how it's made, we see law that guide this process--same thing with us humans.  There are rules that guide our communication; there are rules that guide our behavior; there are rules that guide in how we development in life--thus we could truly have an understanding of why we exist in the first place.  

But who will give a clear understanding in how to live the life? Me? why me and not you? You? why you? We have so many people with their understanding, but who should we listen.  However, if you have power or money, you could enforce your world view on others, and that's where we see trouble coming.  Don't go to far for the example, just look at Egypt.  

However, the reason why we see so much evil is because people reject the Bible, the word that comes from God.  People think that they are the authority in instructing other of how to live, are themselves have trouble living out their wold view.  Their is one right world view and it would be coming out from the Bible, when you take that away, then you have evil on the throne.  

As I live my life, I see so many people have no purpose in life, they have life, but they don't live it.  Their satisfaction comes from getting drunk and do what ever they desire.  But even those who don't do that, still have no understanding in why they exist in the first place.     

By having this blog, I hope to challenge others in their thinking; however, this will also challenge my own understanding that I would take a stand on, which would be coming out from the bible.

Lock Him up with the Bible & the Books

"Fling him into his office. Tear the 'Office' sign from the door and nail on the sign, 'Study.' Take him off the mailing list. Lock him up with his books and his typewriter and his Bible. Slam him down on his knees before texts and broken hearts and the flock of lives of a superficial flock and a holy God.  Force him to be the one man in our surfeited communities who knows about God. Throw him into the ring to box with God until he learns how short his arms are. Engage him to wrestle with God all the night through. And let him come out only when he's bruised and beaten into being a blessing.  Shut his mouth forever spouting remarks, and stop his tongue forever tripping lightly over every nonessential. Require him to have something to say before he dares break the silence. Bend his knees in the lonesome valley.  Burn his eyes with weary study. Wreck his emotional poise with worry for God. And make him exchange his pious stance for a humble walk with God a...

Why Do an Altar Call?

Altar call is described as a religious method that helps a person to confess Christ publicly. The problem with this method is that altar call is not described in the bible. When three thousand people received Christ during Peter’s preaching, most likely no one came forward to confess Christ publicly (Acts 2:41). The confession was there, yet walking forward down the aisle was not there. These days, when an alter call takes place, music is plays in the background. Preacher might say a sad story followed with a tear. Some even have counselors walk forward to motivate others to do the same. Thus, altar call is a method that is not described in the Bible leading us to question if this method should be practiced in churches at all?     Altar call began in the 1800’s. Preachers created a mourner’s bench as an area for people to walk forward when an altar call was called. The Methodist evangelists have invented this method, yet Charles Finney was the one who gave a title al...

Interpreting the Bible

The Right Hermeneutics   To understand the Bible (that was written about 2000 years ago), requires the right hermeneutics. The majority of Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. 2000 years separates us from the day of Apostles (New Testament), but the Old Testament books were written long before that. Today we can see how cults use the bible to defense their heresies. Bible is read through out the world in many languages and not every person who teaches the bible have a seminary degree. Bible itself was not intended to be used by educated or scholarly people. John wrote, “The anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things” (1 John 2:27). Yet having stated that, ignorance is not an excuse to make dramatic interpretation mistakes. Bible is not a book to have it be used anyway someone desires to.  In fact, Bible as a book did...
