In all your ways acknowledge Him
Erik MomsenMuch of the time our lives are not what we want and we keep trying to change things to get it right. What must be changed is our mind and heart. We try religion, but what we need is faith. Religion is a dirty word. Religion is what we do to try and please God and make Him do what we want. This is how we naturally think. But God says; "... all our righteous acts are like dirty rags." (Isaiah 64:6) Faith, however, is our attempt to understand the Lord and knowing that if we walk in His ways we will receive what He has planned for His children.

Belonging
Erik MomsenAll people belong to someone or something. Humanity believes the myth of freedom, but we are slaves. Be it to a tyrannical leader or poverty or on the other extreme self imposed slavery to money, substances or our emotions. Most people are unhappy or at least dissatisfied most of the time.

Money makes the world go round
Erik MomsenMost of the news is about money and many of the wars are a result of a desire to make money or started by individual men who were greedy for money and power. Most of us speak more about money than most other subjects and we think about it even more. We think about the cost of bread, petrol and school fees. We worry if we will be able to make the budget balance or what will happen if we lose our jobs. Money is at the centre of nearly all our dealing with the physical world. "Everything has a price", we are told. People even marry for money. However as Christians we know that there is a certain way to deal with money. We worry about it yet we know we should not. We long after more yet we know this is wrong. We plot and plan how to get more yet we have heard God will provide. There are Biblical guidelines on how to deal with money that will help us be more at peace with this most important topic.

Children, Young Men and Fathers
Erik MomsenA number of years ago, "His People" church placed an advert in magazines and newspapers depicting the torso of a man. The stomach of the man had two belly buttons. The question was obvious, "Have you been born again?" Being born again is the most important event of your life. It happens when we believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died to pay the price for our sin. In response to His death we lay down our own lives and follow Him. Important to remember that in the natural we do not live by our belly buttons for the rest of our lives. We grow beyond our belly buttons. We grow up.

Spiritual Families
Erik MomsenAt least one thing that all people have in common is biological parents. Some are blessed with physical and psychological parents. The most important question however is who are our spiritual parents. Most of us do agree that our spiritual birth into the Heavenly Father's family was the most important moment of our lives, but from then on we have often lived like orphans without spiritual parents, without spiritual guidance, protection and discipline.

From Darkness to Light
Erik MomsenReading Charles Finney's description of how God dealt with him and the many that God reached through Finney, I am struck by the dramatic and rapid change that took place in the lives of people. It reminds me of Biblical descriptions of the conversion of people. We are again seeing this kind of activity of the Holy Spirit in many parts of the world God describes this change in our lives as a movement from darkness to light. "...A people belonging to God that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)

Servants of Salt and Light
Erik MomsenWhy is service so poor in this country? Because no body want to be a slave. We have a history of forced slavery and God's way is voluntary slavery. Jesus "made himself nothing taking the nature of a slave" (Philippians 2:7). I want to paint a picture in very broad strokes. It is called a vision and a vision is something that one sees as in the distance and moves toward it. It is a vision that changes people and society. It is a vision of serving.
