A Nation must be built on Justice.

Proverbs 12:3 A man shall not be established by wickedness;

But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

A nation that disregards the teachings of the bible is doomed to eventual failure. Proverbs 12:3 reminds us that human beings shall not be established by wickedness and that it is only when we have our foundation on righteousness that we will stand firm. Moral principles are just the beginning of creating a just nation, but it is living out these principles that we start to build a secure nation. Dialectical thinking weakens our culture and creates unity on the surface, but lacks the real strength to stand up to adversity. Being a dialectical society means that we reject absolute truth absolutely, which leaves no room for the actual truth to be discovered or lived out.

When everyone thinks in a relative way, we push out didactic thinking, which is thinking based on moral reasoning based on the truth or the word of God. When the principles of our society are didactic it gives strength to our culture and gives moral fibre to our nation. Freedom and equality can only truly be lived out when we reason through a didactic way, and let the truth guide us in all our problems and conflicts. When we push the truth out of our lives and society through dialectical thinking, truth no longer has any place and society is weakened because collective reasoning has made it impossible to stand for anything.

When we are faced with challenges or an enemy, relative thinking is easily conquered because it lacks the strength to make wise decisions because any wise decision in life is usually based on principles found in scripture. We can’t think in a didactic way and a dialectical way at the same time, so when we use our powers of reason we should be basing it on truth found in scripture. Thinking is a process, and correct thinking is based on truth. Collective thinking is based on consensus, and the consensus fails to use absolute truth as it’s compass and guide. If we want a more fair and just society, we need to learn to think in a more didactic way. This is Mike.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
