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.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
