The Power of a Common Enemy

In February 2022, China and Russia unveiled a plan for a new world order. A Washington Examiner article stated in October 2023, that “China and Russia have outlined a vision of international relations anchored in their potential to reinforce each other in disputes with the United States and its allies while cooperating on an array of economic and diplomatic fronts.” Moscow and Beijing could now develop into an integrated challenge to American power. The entire situation with Ukraine began … [Read more...] about The Power of a Common Enemy

The Garden of Eden Prototype

When God created mankind there was a strong bond between the Creator and the Created.  This bond extended to the rest of the earthly creation that God had made.  Man was to work with the environment to subdue it and have dominion.  In other words, he was to dress and keep it. God and man walked together, they talked together, and they worked together.  All of those things are contained in the first chapters of Genesis. The Creator, Man, and the environment all worked … [Read more...] about The Garden of Eden Prototype

Keynesian Economics

We have a responsibility to consider God’s ways and His instructions versus man’s ways. God created all things and in that creation He installed two trees in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9,16-17). He explained the situation. He provided context and information for the people that He created and put in the Garden of Eden and gave them free moral agency. And He wants us to choose: “. . . I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life . . .” (Deuteronomy … [Read more...] about Keynesian Economics

The Spirit in Man

Humanity has devise many ways to replace their Creator. In ancient times, they did it through the creation of idols made of wood and stone. They created elaborate stories around these idols that “explained” how the creation worked and functioned. Today, man uses astrophysics to explain how the universe, solar system and earth came to be. He uses evolution to understand how life came to be on the earth and eventually exists as it does today. In conjunction with evolution, man studies genetics in … [Read more...] about The Spirit in Man

God Is with His People

One way that we can make sense of the Church today is to look at the blueprint of how God built up a people to be His people. Since Christ doesn’t change, His consistency will be evident in how He dealt with ancient Israel and how He deals with the Church today.   As Moses prepared the children of Israel to enter the land of Canaan, he wrote the words of the law in a book and placed that book in the Ark of the Covenant. Then God through Moses addressed the people of Israel … [Read more...] about God Is with His People

Predestination

Does God plan our life in advance? Has God predetermined our future? One small step further in this relationship building is to understand better God’s personal plan for each of us. We need some context to set the groundwork to address these questions. There may be some knowledge that we need to unlearn. Two areas of context that are important in theology are the “fall of man" and the “original sin” as they are commonly believed today. The fall of man takes us back to the beginning in the … [Read more...] about Predestination

Godly Justice

Administering justice is a major theme of the Bible. King David administered justice to all his people (2 Samuel 8:15).  Indeed, God expects His people to administer justice: "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" (1 Corinthians 6.2-3). So that is the question: Do you and I practice justice … [Read more...] about Godly Justice
