Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

The world around us affects us in so many negative ways and we all need to begin to see these influences for what they are. And not just this present world systems that are corrupted but also our human nature - the natural state of mankind which is tuned into its influence and has consequently become utterly deceived. And these all feed off of each other into a downward spiral, leading humanity toward destruction.  As followers of God the Father and Jesus Christ we understand the ultimate … [Read more...] about Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

Men: Reclaiming What’s Been Lost

There’s something profoundly broken in how men view women today—and it didn’t happen by accident.  From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images of the female body at a scale never before seen in human history. Algorithms push it. Culture glorifies it. But at the same time, those same boys are told that the natural attraction they feel is something to be ashamed of. They’re taught that their desire is toxic. That their masculinity is dangerous. That to simply notice the … [Read more...] about Men: Reclaiming What’s Been Lost

The Age of Depravity

In observing developments and trends, I am always drawn to the state of the human mind.  I am constantly amazed these days at what the human mind is capable of. On the one hand what the mind can achieve in the area of technology is almost beyond belief. But the area of the mind's activity that comes up more often these days is in the area of depravity. A secular definition of depravity is simply defined as “moral corruption and wickedness”.  The Bible also emphasizes the aspect of … [Read more...] about The Age of Depravity

Conditioning the Human Heart

The human heart is something we frequently discuss because there is so much we need to learn and to overcome about ourselves. The heart in this context is a term that simply means what is at the center of a person, who we are, what motivates us and what drives the conditions of our relationships with one another. The spirit in man was given to humans by God enabling them to think and reason and therefore have dominion over the rest of creation (Job 32:8). It also enables a human mind to hurt, … [Read more...] about Conditioning the Human Heart

What Makes a Hero?

The author of the book What Makes a Hero? The Surprising Science of Selflessness, Elizabeth Svoboda, writes in an article in the Washington Post: “[Heroes] flash into public view like signal flares, dazzling us with their courageous and selfless acts. “[Like] Wesley Autrey, who jumped onto New York City subway tracks to save a man from an oncoming train. Captain Chesley Sullenberger of US Airways, who landed his plane and passengers safely on New York's Hudson River…Charles Ramsey, who … [Read more...] about What Makes a Hero?

Speak No Evil

Speaking evil of others is wrong! Don’t be judgmental! The book of James tells us so, end of story. But is there an important nuance to truly understand this seemingly straightforward instruction? “Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge … [Read more...] about Speak No Evil

The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

The Oxford Dictionary defines wisdom as “the state of being wise.”  It says that wisdom has to do with judgment, discernment, judiciousness, insight, knowledge and learning. And from a human standpoint, we might agree with these words that define wisdom.   But at the same time, we can conclude that mankind on the whole man can’t solve his problems.  It appears that mankind simply lacks the wisdom to do so.   Man doesn’t know how to achieve peace, put an end to … [Read more...] about The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
