Is Capitalism Moral by Walter Williams

9/25/2015

0 Comments

 

Prager University writes, "Is capitalism moral or greedy? If it's based on greed and selfishness, what's the best alternative economic system? Perhaps socialism? And if capitalism is moral, what makes it so? Walter Williams, a renowned economist at George Mason University, answers these questions and more."

With Socialist and Communist ideologies on the rise both abroad and here in America, how should Christians view the world?  Do we want government to take from the people to redistribute as they see fit or do we stand with a free market system?  As people of Godly destiny, knowing the answers to these sorts of questions will be critical once we find ourselves in the fullness of our purpose.

Do You Pass the Israel Test by George Gilder

9/25/2015

0 Comments

 

Have you ever wondered what might be at the root of the conflict in the Middle East between Jews and Arabs?  Have you ever wondered why so many people are anti-American in their rhetoric?  Could it have a similar root?

In this opinion piece, George Gilder provides us some ideas worth considering.  He states, "How do you respond to people who excel you in invention, creativity, and wealth?  Do you envy them?  Do you feel their success somehow diminishes you?  Or do you admire what they've achieved and try to emulate it?  These questions sum up what I call "The Israel Test."

As a current or future leader in the world of international diplomacy and politics, how will you carry the Spirit of Truth forth?  Will you pray for the peace of Jerusalem?  Will you seek to serve and lead through government agencies or from elected office?  Whatever the calling, we hope and pray it is done in the fullness of your Godly destiny.

What Makes America Different by Nick Adams

Do you agree that America is a place where people can be very successful?  Do you wonder what makes that possible?  If you are called to lead in the world of public service, then it is critical that you understand what makes the American model work.

Nick Adams offers us his perspective on what it is about our way of "working" that has worked so well.  He shares, "What makes America different?  There are many answers, but start with one you might not have thought of. Most people think America is all about success. I see it a little differently. I think America is all about failing. Most people in the world don't get the chance to fail. But Americans take it for granted."

And we pray, that the Godly will who are called to lead our nation in service and love will discover, unlock and live their Godly destiny.

Why We're Losing Freedom by Robert George

9/25/2015

The Bible teaches in 2 Corinthians 3:17, "For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." (NLT)  Do you value freedom?  Do you believe that our freedoms are being eroded in America?  Have you ever wondered why it is happening?

Robert George provides an insightful explanation of the issue.  He opines, "We've drifted a long way from the original vision of the Founders. The further we've drifted, the more powerful the national government has grown, and the less free Americans have become. Freedom can be taken away, but it can also be given away -- out of sheer ignorance. If we Americans, we the people, want to get some of that freedom back, we need to read America's founding documents. All the freedom we ever wanted is there."

Are you one who is called by God to help bring freedom back into our nation and the world?  Then, consider this video as you discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.

Why the Right is Right by Greg Gutfeld

9/25/2015

Are you comfortable with the idea that God has chosen people to serve through government and politics?  Can you see how our government needs those with a Christian worldview to "occupy" until He comes? 

To that end, Greg Gutfeld provides us some perspective on how we should poster ourselves.  He shares, "Why are you Right? Yes, you, conservative person. Can you answer that question?   I think it's so important that I wrote a book about it -- How to be Right: The Art of Being Persuasively Correct. Because if you can't be persuasive about why you are right, then we, the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands, are lost. So, here is the simple answer to why you are Right: It is a more practical, generous, and compassionate way to live. Let me explain:"

To those of you with a call to civil service, we pray you discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.
