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.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

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 ...
