Observations On The News

Posted on March 10, 2011 by LovingLikeGod.com

Over the past week I have been preoccupied with colon cancer surgery and recovery. This has had me somewhat handicapped where writing is concerned. It has, however, positioned me once again to get a belly full of news media drivel. For now I just want to make two observations having to do with political economy.

First: Letting lawyers pass laws is like letting dentists pass cavities. It is difficult to imagine a bigger or more liberty damaging conflict of interest!

Second: Historically, markets determine what serves as money. Historically gold and silver have had the starring roles. Once the medium of exchange or money is identified by the market, governments know what to control. Gold is the monetary choice of liberty, it has no agenda except the integrity of it’s own value. Money with integrity is the arch-enemy of governmental power.
Governments contaminate the integrity of substance by adding images to the money. Money with images on it is AGENDA money. The agenda of governments is the centralization of control, which is to say an end of human liberty.

There was a moment in history when things looked promising for a little while. You can read about it in the US Declaration of Independence. You won’t find much about that in the news. This too seems to be no accident.

There was a brief moment in history when things were looking hopeful for human liberty. You cam read about that moment in the U S Declaration of Independence. You won’t find much about that in today’s news.

Behold

Posted on March 3, 2011 by LovingLikeGod.com

The day He died, Jesus had the best view on the hill.

Among other things He saw that day, He saw His mother standing beside John, “the disciple He loved.”  He gave them to each other that day – John to her as a son, and her to John as a mother.

But the beholding I would like to share about here is our own beholding; what we need to see in connection with the day He died.

Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd and said, “Behold the man.” Jesus was wearing a crown that day.

Many years before that day another king wrote: “Behold …” – Well, perhaps you might want to read it for yourself in Song of Songs 3:11.

While you are there, please note the context beginning with verse 7.

And here are a couple of clues that might help with your own beholding: Jesus said that these Scriptures were all about Him, and, another way of understanding Who this passage is about is to remember that king Solomon was also the Son of David.

Jesus began to put the solitary in families even before He died.

Family

Posted on March 1, 2011 by LovingLikeGod.com

baby born in hand smallerI am presently having some difficulties with my desk top computer, so am writing this on an iTouch, (small keyboard – big fingers :-/). This just to say that this will have to be very brief.

In light of what I have just posted where aiming at the truth is concerned – the need to read the Scriptures with both eyes open, the need for both front and rear sites, and allowing for the windage of The Spirit, I need to say a word or two about “family” or “families.” It is written God “… puts the solitary in families.” (see Mark 10:29, 30)  It really should not require rocket science to point out that a “family” is not the same thing as a “brotherhood.” It does not say God puts the solitary in brotherhoods. There is a significant difference between a brotherhood and a family. Two very important differences have to do with reproduction and nurture.

Under the present circumstances that is all I want to say about this for the moment, but in the days of this writing, this has become for me a critically important truth, where relationships that come from God are concerned.

Please think on these things!
