  • The True Solution To The Issue Of Racism In America

    by

    What has occurred in Minneapolis is of tragic proportions along with much of what we have witnessed throughout the years with much of racism still pervading throughout America. And yet, how does a society rid itself from such sinful behavior?

    Some have suggested re-educating white people by implementing the notion of white privilege in which a person should feel bad about who God had created them to be as well as to what level of the social hierarchy they have been born in, and yet this suggestive tactic is absurd. Others have recommended that white people be more intergraded into the black community to help remove the bias presumptions.

    Both suggestions miss the mark, though, as they lack the true cure that doesn’t just promote racism against white people or forcing them to like black people, but rather a cure that truly penetrates the heart of both the issue and individuals, not only on the white side of the racial spectrum but its entirety; that is Christ Himself.

    A change in social structures begins at an individual level. If each individual, whether they be white, black, brown, or tie dye, were to seek out God with their entire being and called on God in the same manner as the Psalmist did, “Oh God, create in me a clean heart.” At this point, I firmly believe, we would see a radical transformation of individuals and social structures alike. Only by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit working in each individuals heart would we see, not a forceful or manipulative change, true and radical transformation.

    We would see Christ and His love being the central theme of both people’s lives and society. We would see people not looking at the color of each others skin, but rather our hearts and actions. We would see the intrinsic value of each other in a radically new way as we all encourage each other and help each other become more Christ like. There would be no separation as we are all dwelling together in Christ like union with no bias and no hatred being found in our hearts.

    If we want a true transformation in society it will not be through the means of law and order or by the manipulative means of “re-education,” but rather only through the cleansing of our sinful nature by the blood of Christ and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

  • Transforming Potential In Something Of Value

    by

    There is immense potential lying within the unknown, and you have the ability instilled within you to transform that potential into something of immense value. Just like Abraham left home and ventured into the unknown to become a great nation, so you too can leave your abode of comfort and head into the unknown to become something great.

  • Rainy Reflections Of Your Ideal

    by

    Rainy days are ideal times for reflection and correction. During these times you can reflect on where you are at within the scope of your progression towards your ideal. Breaking down your progress allows you to pinpoint areas that hinder your progress, and then fix them. ⁣⁣

    From this vantage point, you can then re-examine your ideal of which you are aiming at, and from there reorient yourself towards your ideal with greater precision. ⁣

    ⁣The Bible touches on this idea in Psalms 46, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Although this piece of scripture is interpreted as one quieting themselves before God and coming to know Him personally, it can also be interpreted as a time of reflection and reorientation of your ideal aim. Practice quieting yourself and reflecting on what needs to be done in order to accomplish what you have set out to do.

  • Properly Producing Unity Out Of Diversity

    by

    In order to produce unity from diversity, it is not rules or regulations that will bring it about as this only implies a certain type of tyrannical force that would only ultimately lose its influence and power and collapse. But, in the words of Christ Himself, unity is only accomplished by loving others as yourself as well as respecting diversity of gifts and perspectives. This is not to say we all have to agree with everything everyone states or believes, but rather that we respect their perspective as long as it is not detrimental to society as a whole. ⁣
    ⁣
    The only means by which we can know how to love others properly is by first loving God with our entire being, which in turn helps us love ourselves in the aspect of who He has uniquely created us to be. When we come to love and value ourselves as children of God, we can then properly love and value others as well. ⁣
    ⁣
    True love can only be expressed properly and authentically by viewing each person as having intrinsic value instilled within them. As soon as we begin to devalue another due to their racial, ethnic, gender, perspective, etc., we have done injustice, not only to those we have devalued, but to ourselves and society as well. ⁣
    ⁣
    God has created us all in His image with intrinsic value instilled and a particular uniqueness that sets us apart. We were not created all to be exactly the same, but rather we were created with diversity in mind and it is our job to create unity from within the diversity, not forcefully but in love and respect. The more we value, respect and love others, the greater value we instill throughout society and the more unity is produced from the diversity.

  • Noah, The Flood And 10,000 BC

    by

    ‪What evidence is there to support a proposed date of 10,000 BC for the time of Noah? ‬⁣
    ⁣
    ‪• Mass flooding worldwide from melting polar caps as a result of the end of last ice age. Several landmarks around the world went underwater after 10,000 BC, including that of the Persian Gulf, parts of Australia, certain structures including the giant underwater structure near Japan and prehistoric villages and towns. ‬⁣
    ‪• Gobekli Tepe- Neolithic temple located just 300 miles southwest of the mountains of Ararat that was used for animal sacrifice that consist of giant monolithic pillars dating to 10,000 BC that depict various animals that are not indigenous to the surrounding area.‬⁣
    ‪• The first evidence of fermented beverages appearing approximately 10,000 BC, which correlates with the first appearance of wine making proceeding the flood after Noah’s decent from the Mountains of Ararat. ‬⁣
    ‪• The extinction of several prehistoric animals around 10,000 BC, including Sabor Tooth Tigers and Wolly Mammoths. ‬⁣
    ⁣
    More to come.⁣

  • Beneath The Scope Of Politics

    by

    What we are currently witnessing throughout our nation and the world as a whole is much deeper than politics. The realm of politics are but the surface of something much more malevolent and corrupt, and this is what controls our politics, our media, and unfortunately, to some degree our minds. ⁣
    ⁣
    What we are witnessing is that which is controlled by the hidden agenda that we are only able to catch glimpses of through the actions of the puppet like nature of politicians and media platforms. The puppeteers behind the scenes are those that are embedded within a secret society and that encompass the elites within the world; the Rothchilds, the Gates, the Clintons, the Bilderbergs, etc. All of which seek to implement the new world order, or better known as the system of the beast within the text of Revelations.⁣
    ⁣
    Of course, these “elite” groups are but puppets themselves too as they pledge their allegiance to the higher realm of reality that encompasses our own, to the one who rebelled at the beginning; that is Lucifer himself. ⁣
    ⁣
    All one has to do is take some time to do some research. Throughout the entertainment industry and the like, we see symbols of various kinds that stem from this “cult” of the elites, and unfortunately we also see many among the youth incorporating these symbols within their lives and social groups with little to no knowledge of their origins or implications. What can we do? Educate ourselves. Monitor and recognize what is being done throughout our political system, media and entertainment industry. We then must stand firm in our faith boldly and courageously, ready to contend with the forces of chaos in prayer and unison. ⁣
    ⁣
    Only by the blood of Christ can we overcome, and overcome we will as long as we reorient ourselves properly and fill ourselves with the knowledge of what is occurring through scripture and research. If we walk about blindly and ignorantly, we are destined to fall into the pit that the elite and Lucifer himself so desperately desires us too. ⁣
    ⁣
    Paul and Peter both sum this notion up rather well in their letters with the words of “being sober and vigilant and standing firm as the devil roams about seeking those that are asleep to the reality that surrounds them to consume them.” This notion of being sober is not only that referenced towards a type of intoxication through the means of mind-altering substances, which of course also include our phones and TV, but rather is a reference to the idea of being awake to what is going on and being ready to contend with it.

  • Radicalism And The Decay Of Society

    by

    Radicalism leads to the decay and corruption of society as a whole. This idea is evident in the life of Christ Himself in which He argued both sides of radical religious thought in His day, that is the Pharisees and Sadducees. Too much order leads to totalitarianism while too much chaos leads to nihilism. Balance is essential in maintaining proper order while still progressing forward in a orderly manner.

  • The Truth And The Sum Of All Things

    by

    People search far and wide for truth. This search for truth has its origins as far back as the formation of written language in ancient Sumeria with descriptions of mythological tales depicting various gods that governed specific elements of earth; fire, water, etc. And yet, truth is not found in several entities or various places, but only in Christ Himself.

    In an age where traveling is an addictive, euphoric search for meaning, where people continue to move about to ease their anxiety and obtain a continuous stimulation of the senses, at the end of it all, the sum of all things are found in Christ.

    This is not to say that we should not seek to grow in knowledge through experiences such as traveling, but rather we should utilize it only for that very purpose while knowing that in Christ lies the truth, the meaning, and ultimate fulfillment that we all desire.

  • The Attributes Of True Love

    by

    True love is being able to look at someone who is experiencing problems in their life, and still loving them while realizing that you do not know the whole story. This is not to say that you do not seek to help them with their problem, and yet if you seek to help them in a tyrannical manner, then you have forfeited love.

  • Ego And Radicalism

    by

    Radicalism is the route in which led to Lucifer’s fall from Heaven. If we perceive reality from a radicalized view, whether from on the right or left spectrum, our egos will lift us up as we become possessed by ideas, and become rigid within our interpretation of reality itself.
