Washington State fire: sign of the times?

President Obama has declared a state of emergency for  Washington state because of the ravaging fires . According to some estimates the fires may be burning an area slightly bigger than New York City For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. Isaiah 9:18 I am just wondering that maybe this great fire may be a sign  that the hands of God are withdrawing from the land . Firefighter have been struggling with the fire and have even requested help from other countries like New Zealand and Australia. And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.Ezekiel 20:47 The nation has gone astray from the Lord and

Racism: rooted in economics

I am writing this article about the subject of racism. When one really think about racism it becomes obvious that it is not something inherent in us but it deeply rooted in economics. In this  article we will take a look at how it is so. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation. Acts 17:26 The myth of racial supremacy As it is evident by our red blood, all human beings are created equal. No race is better than the other and anyone who seek to teach the racial superiority of one race over another is simply a person that has a lot of inferiority complex and he is seeking ways to make himself superior The power of conquest The idea of racial supremacy existed a long time ago, but I think it came as a result of conquests. Different nations since antiquity have had different focus at different times. Some were interested in acquiring knowledge, others

Economic crises and the mark of the Beast

 And he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17 There's been a lot of talk lately about a coming economic collapse. Many people are fearful of the future because of this development. In this short article we will look at how that possibility may have significant prophetic bearings. China's struggle China's recent economic struggles have sent the world into a short panic. As of today the markets have been on a march towards recovery, so a lot of people are becoming optimistic again about the state of the global economy. China is the world's second largest economy so any problem with them will affect the whole world. Global chaos The global markets hiccup as a result of the grim outlook that came from China shows how volatile the economic system is. Billions were lost across global markets in a matter of  few days. Are these things just coinc

Take the beam out of your eye First and your condition will improve

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.Matthew 7:5 One of the major problems in all types conditions people find themselves in is the refusal to "take the beam out of their owns eyes first so that they can see the true situation". In this short article we will cover  a few things concerning that and hope that it may bring some changes to our lives. Relationships Many of us experience difficulties in our relationships because of that very truth the Bible speaks off. Imagine if when we had a problem with others we took the time to hear their arguments not for the sake of  debunking it, but for the purpose of understanding them. It would help greatly . The problem with our relationship is that we always think we are right and the other is wrong, but we should take the time and analyze our own position . By truly analyzing our position we may uncover that we may not be

The Faith of Unbelievers

  A lot of unbelievers have made the argument that people of faith have blind faith, that they believe without evidence. But does the unbeliever have evidence first and then believe? In this article we will go over this topic. “People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.” ― Blaise Pascal, De l'art de persuader        Children Have no beliefs The quote by Pascal could not be more true. Despite the unbelievers claims they arrived at their beliefs by pure reason and scientific inquiry, the reality is far from that. As children we come into the world as empty vessels and have to be taught . At this point we are just taking in whatever our parents are giving us, but at certain point we start to establish our own belief system. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Rise of belief At a certain point in life a child start to

Man is powerless

On August 1, 2015 as I was on my way to church, I stopped under a red light and another car bumped into the rear of my car. While the damage was not bad at all, the event brought to me to the thought that it could have been worse; with me ending at the hospital or worse death. I thought about the event and see that there was nothing I could have done to stop what happened-I was powerless. In this article, we will talk about how us human beings don't have control over the circumstances that we find ourselves in most of the time and are merely choosing between options. “ All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the LORD blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever” (vv. 6b–8). Isaiah 40:6–11 Society of control We live in a society that teaches us that we have control over our destiny, that whatever we achieve and th
