Which Laws To Keep?

Christians have been really blessed in this nation to have had the freedom to be able to live a lifestyle based on the law of God. However, that trend is seemingly coming to an end. That freedom is going to move on; it is slowly being taken away from us. Here is an interesting quote: ā€œ...it is a sign of the times. As John Daniel Davidson compellingly argues in Pagan America, the nature of the American state has fundamentally changed. After decades of decline and retreat, Christianity is no … [Read more...] about Which Laws To Keep?

Unequitable Trading

Coronavirus fears caused global panic.  The financial institutions, speculative markets, manufacturing, retail outlets, travel, supply chains ā€” pretty much anything that is the basis of our modern economy and trading infrastructure were affected.  It canā€™t help but remind us of the volatility and complexities of this worldā€™s forms of trade. Trade is such a foundational part of how any society operates and, by extension, how each of us operates.  Whether we like it or not, nearly … [Read more...] about Unequitable Trading

Keynesian Economics

We have a responsibility to consider Godā€™s ways and His instructions versus manā€™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: ā€œ. . . I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life . . .ā€ (Deuteronomy … [Read more...] about Keynesian Economics

The Cycle of Dysfunctional Families

It is sad to read so often of people who see no purpose in living. At the point in time, when they should be rejoicing in their youth, even many teenagers see no purpose in living. No doubt, mind-altering substances are often involved. However, often, the state of mind that has led to a young personā€™s suicide is a result of relationship issues. Sense of worth is developed within a family that functions in a manner designed by God. Such a family will have a structure created by the family … [Read more...] about The Cycle of Dysfunctional Families

Healthy Attitudes

I want to look at the concept of attitude and see just what kind of potent force it is.  An attitude is a manner of acting, feeling or thinking that reveals oneā€™s disposition, opinion, and overall mindset. Oneā€™s attitude is a mental disposition.  How we are inside. Our approach to life.  Itā€™s the way we view the world in general terms and how we look at other individuals. A good attitude means different things in different circumstances. Generally, it signifies an approach … [Read more...] about Healthy Attitudes

True or Rotten Miracles?

The ā€œGreen Revolutionā€ of the mid 1940s through the 1960s has long been touted as an ā€œagricultural miracle.ā€ It was then that researchers began genetically altering various grains such as corn, wheat, and rice. Additionally, the seedā€™s yield was maximized by using chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. The dramatic increase in production enabled importer nations to soon become exporters. This agricultural miracle would presumably save humanity from famine as its population … [Read more...] about True or Rotten Miracles?

Blessings Will Come

I told someone once, ā€œGod is going to bless you with the opportunity to develop into the best kind of character you can have. He may bless you physically, but mostly Heā€™s going to give you the blessings of learning, and growing, and overcoming.ā€ As man looks to God in faith, He will bless us to accomplish His purpose, and not necessarily our own. Yet, it is tempting to think of the blessings of God as merely physical. The remnant of Judah that returned to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem … [Read more...] about Blessings Will Come
