Who I am

Hello Readers,

I just wanted to briefly discuss how important it is to do what we are called to do…..

 

I started to post many things on different types of blog sites and Facebook and eventually realized that God had a bigger plan. God gave me a way with words and opened up many things through my daily walks with him. So I decided to make my own Blog site that way I can help people learn about Jesus Christ and his truth.

Many people want to believe in God but lack the true knowledge. Many people are skeptical, and don’t know what to believe, others believe and lack the foundation. Well, my goal is to help people, get to know, grow, and show Gods true divinity.

So here we are….

Enjoy!

Egalitarianism vs. Complementarianism: Evangelical Feminism – (Part 3)

As I was checking out at the local grocery store, I couldnt help but notice a magazine on the shelf. The magazine read "Women of the Bible" ....So I purchased it. This was coincidentally the topic that I had been discussing and dissecting for months now. I thought it was very interesting to see this in a huge Grocery store, front and center. A few thoughts crossed my mind, what was the magazine doing on the shelf, in the most liberal grocery store in town? Was this a God made miracle? Were people finally acknowledging the importance of God?....Not quite, for you see, if this magazine read "Men of the Bible"...or "Jesus of the Bible" there would be no room for this magazine on the shelf. So I cracked it open, and began to read it, it was a magazine written by a woman for the women. But what was…

Egalitarianism vs. Complementarianism: Evangelical Feminism -Modern America (Part 2)

I recently started a series on Evangelical Feminism. I wanted to break down the history of this topic, to help everyone better understand what this topic is about. We discussed a few different types of views - Egalitarians and Complementarians. So what is this truly all about and why is it important to us today? So from the perspective of an Egalitarian - God created the heavens and the earth, he also created man and women and he created them in full equality and in the image of God. Man and woman lived in perfect harmony as it was intended by God. During this time, both man and woman were tempted by a serpent, they both ate of the fruit and the great Fall happen. After the fall, Eve was cursed and was told she would incur great pains during childbearing and would be subject to Adam; To the woman…

Egalitarianism vs. Complementarianism: Evangelical Feminism -Modern America (Part 1)

I wanted to discuss a very serious topic that resonates very deep in my heart and I believe it is critical part of truly understanding the true nature of our roles and responsibilities. I use many points taken from Wayne Grudem and John Piper - who are both complementarians. I will also cross examine N.T. Wright's theory (who is a radical egalitarian) and compare the two opposing sides. But before we jump right in, let’s get you familiar with what these sides are. Egalitarians - the doctrine that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities. Complementarians- is a theological view in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, that men and women have different but complementary roles and responsibilities in marriage, family life, religious leadership, and elsewhere. The word "complementary" and its cognates are currently used to denote this view. Just so you better understand, this is a current issue within the…

Why is it so Easy to Hate People?

This is a topic that has been stirring in my head for months now, and I have to talk about it. I'm sure many of you reading this would think, I dont hate anyone...I just dislike them!...Or maybe you are one of those people that equally hate everyone. At any note, this topic may be right up your alley. As I am writing this, I am reminded of the many conflicts that I have encountered through the years and sit back and wonder, were all my actions justified? Were all those conflicts worth it? As a little voice in my head says, of course, they all deserved every bit of it. You are a smart individual, you know more than the average person, you are always right. Only to sit and have remorse for my actions as my soul judges me, as my conscience says you are wrong! They were…

Spiritually Sick

As the cold weather is creeping upon us I wanted to discuss a topic that's been cooking in my head for the last few months. I wanted to share a little story with whoever is out there and willing to listen. This year was the first year in my life that I've gotten so sick- a sickness that was ignored. Many of us battle with a cold every year...Well I usually don't get sick ever. In fact, its been years since I've been bed ridden from a sickness. It all started with a sore throat one morning as I woke up in need of a drink of water- as the week progressed that sore throat turned into swollen glands and a cough. As I drank my dayquil during the day and nyquil during the night I tried to ignore the reality that my body was fighting a sickness. In fact,…

Our Current State Of Mind in America

In case anyone is wondering why very few people showed up to Trumps inauguration...?   Maybe it has to do with the record breaking amounts of prayers that were said during the inauguration! Satan does not like prayer- and all the biggest preachers were at his inauguration- MacArthur, Laurie, Jeremiah, etc...and you know who Obama hung out with during his term? Muslims/ Saudi kings and the pope (anti-christians to be exact).   Do you think it's a coincidence no one showed up? No- I have been studying agnosticism/atheism for years now- there is a massive correlation between people that do not believe in God and those that are liberal! Ironic???No- not one bit....liberals embrace loose behavior- legalized same sex marriage, abortion, smoking marijuana, transgender, etc...and more recently sexist and racist controversy- that is created instead of existential!   All of these examples- that not only go against the Bible, also…

Women and Men Roles in the Church…Is there True Equality?

I want to start off by saying, this topic is not here to offend anyone. But its something that needs to be addressed considering where our society has taken us. I'm not by any means sexist, just want to align the Word of God with everyday living. I have been in the midst of many quarrels on this subject, women getting directly offended by men because men claim women have no importance in the church- or battles over who has the overall authority. I have heard very rude and obnoxious opinions (specifically from the Slavic background) about how men have absolute authority over women (in a very degrading manner). Even when secular movements have arisen claiming to be concerned with women's rights, their efforts have generally been detrimental to the status of women. The feminist movement of our generation, for example, is a case in point. Feminism has devalued and…

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PRAYER?…WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT? PART 2

I briefly discussed the power of prayer yesterday, and because today is the national day of prayer, I would like to continue this topic. I have already discussed my view on what prayer is and what it isn't. Many people might not agree with me, but hey... I know that prayer is an effective tool in my life, and God hears me, so therefore I know I am one of Gods Children and can pray with confidence. Today I wanted to discuss a crucial topic...Does God hear a sinners prayer? This is a very important question because many people think that they can continue to live in sin and God will hear them. Many people live however they want and assume God hears their prayers. If we read John 9:31 "We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will." It…

What is the Purpose of Prayer?…What does it mean to Pray in the Spirit?

I was going to continue the Holy Spirit series but I have been compelled to write about the power of prayer. The Holy Spirit has put it on my heart to talk about the seriousness and effectiveness of prayer. I noticed that in our world, the word prayer has truly lost its meaning. Many cultures pray to idols, or to other spirits. Or worse yet....Some pray to some sort of higher power. Because of this, society has diminished the seriousness of prayer. People love to throw this around; "I will pray for you." People that have no relationship with God whatsoever have broken the true meaning of what prayer is. Yesterday, I was walking faced with a few concerns and issues that had surfaced in my life. As I was walking, I was thinking of how little I truly pray in my life....I started to be convicted by the Holy…

What is the Holy Spirit?…Who is He? Among all the Confusion: Part 1

I want to start this blog by stating- I am not claiming I have all the answers, I am not claiming that God has given me a revelation or a prophesy, but I have been consistently searching for truth; in prayer, research and fellowship. In the last 8 years I have dived in this topic, but more specifically, in the last 2 months God has been presenting me with this topic everywhere I go. In the last month I have somehow found myself in the middle of these conversation about the Holy Spirit. I have heard several different perspectives. I began to listen to God and pray about this topic, and interestingly enough, yesterday I met a young pastor at the local coffee shop, and somehow we jumped into this topic. As we sat there discussing our walk with God, he mentions that he had prepared a sermon on the topic…
