Easy Christian Solutions to Life’s Problems

If there’s one thing that can be said with certainty about life, it’s that it is not easy. We are beset with problems at every turn, and not all of them have visible or viable solutions. So unless we learn how to cope with them, we’re going to end up becoming victims of stress. I’ve learned through experience that one of the best ways to deal with stress and reduce its detrimental effects on our life and our health is through religion. Spirituality can work wonders in helping you find solutions to life’s problems, so if you’re looking for answers, here are a few Christian solutions to the common ills that plague you:

· M Money: It’s not an exaggeration to say that the world revolves around money. Without this manmade concept of riches, we would have no life. And even though money is not everything, we do need enough of it to live satisfactorily. So if you’re having money trouble, the best way to get over it is to analyze your spending habits and make the necessary amends. Remember the parable of the talents where God rewarded his servants who had used their money to make more money and punished the one who was too cowardly to invest it wisely? Well, there’s a lesson we can learn from this story – it pays to spend less than what we earn and also put away an amount that accrues interest and will stand us in good stead in the event of a rainy day.

· R Relationships: No man is an island and we need other people for our emotional and sometimes even physical needs. Whenever any relationship in your hits a problem or goes through a bad patch, all you need to do is remember the commandment that says – Love your neighbor as you love yourself – the neighbor here refers to your loved one. And when you love them as much as you love yourself, you see things in a different light. It’s not all about you and you’re able to understand their feelings as well. This positive outlook changes your relationships for the better.

· W Work: To be successful at work and avoid problems at your workplace, all you need to do is take heed of the fourth commandment – Observe the Sabbath as a holy day and work diligently on the other six days of the week. When you follow this to the letter, you not only get all your work done efficiently and on time, you also prevent yourself from falling prey to stress and overwork by taking adequate rest and rejuvenating yourself on Sunday.

Our lives revolve around money, friends, family and work, not necessarily in that order. By using lessons from the Bible wisely, it’s easy to solve any problems we may face.

Divide & Conquer...

Have you seen the internet movie Zietgeist?

It asks a question that ties the Christian religion to terrorist acts all for the control of money by asking; What does Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common?

First let me say that there is much truth that Christianity was taken over by the Romans and that they the Romans did add paganism into the Christian belief. However something that must be considered about folks who say they believe in Jesus Christ is;


Where in the bible does it say that Jesus Christ came to start a new religion called Christianity?

Where does the bible mention that you must belong to a church or a denomination?


As long as the religious status quo continues, there will be people questioning the Christian religion because it doesn't live up to its precepts. Why? Because the Christian religion itself is a farce. Only through Jesus Christ is God revealed as love and only through Jesus Christ are we brought into relation with the true God of our creation. Christ not religion!

Christianity went from a persecuted belief to a persecuting religion under control of the Romans. And all branches of Christianity (denominations) participate in the persecution of Gods people who are everyone. Believe it or not God loves everyone and wishes that all of mankind would come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. But not a denominational Jesus for there is no support for that from God's word the "Holy Bible".

Christianity as a belief not an organized religion must move away from "Denominational Divergence" and show love. I challenge churches and church folks to give up there tax status and start loving the way Jesus told us too.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

John 15:12

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Money & Material Possessions....

Consider what the bible says in Acts 2 about 'Money & Material Possessions'...;

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.

Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

When people are more important then money, we will not need to continually monitor the moral compass of others.

When Love becomes more important then money, there will no longer be inequality in the world.

When Jesus Christ become more important then money, we will not need 38,000 Christian denominations arguing for the souls of men as if they could offer a salvation equal to God.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

The Narrow Road...

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it".

Those are the words found in the verse's at Matthew 7:13-14 NIV this passage relates to our inherent attitudes towards money, material possessions and our love or lack there of. Allow me to expand; love is the driving force of the Christian experience and a professed Christian's identity must mirror God's love in all that we do.

For example if we give a tithe on a weekly/monthly basis and we do it not out of love you may as well keep the dough and put it in a hedge fund or other growth vehicle because at least that could benefit you or your family later on. Remember what Albert Einstein said “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest” and although compound interest is powerful I would think that the creator of the universe is much more powerful even then compounding interest.

Let us suppose that all we do, we do out of love for our brethren and that would include; the all of mankind. Let us also suppose that God compounds those things we do and gives us our reward in heaven not on earth. Would that not preclude the fact then some of us may struggle financially while some of us will have more than they need. Also consider that economics is a very tricky and specialized topic. And that this world will devise every possible way to get you to pay more than you should for just about everything you need or consume. So compounding interest could work for or against you depending on your economic savvy and your know how!

Money and material possessions are a part of this world consider this article I wrote for Allvoices on Positive Human Potential it has a very elementary introduction to the atom and the use of matter in this world. Consider also that the bible continually focuses more on the spiritual part of us then the physical when we are told in Matthew 6 not to worry, to give in secret, to store treasure in heaven not on earth, to fast and to pray.

If there is one thing I have learned from my christian experience; it is to pray and wait for God's timing not my own and all will be as God wills it...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
