We Shall Overcome

In the founding of our nation, the founding fathers acknowledged that Americans needed a new type of government than the established ones; a government that would serve all the needs of the people. We have constantly pushed the limits of progress and scientific advancement. An iconic American image representing innovation is the American Moon Landing. Another key feature of American innovation is the ability of Americans to adapt and grow to fit…

The vast discoveries of our yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows have led humanity to define knowledge,and all we gain from it, as an objective fact, that can be supported or denied by progression. This progression may be, but not limited to: evidence, discoveries, technology, or social trends. Therefor we can ponder upon the knowledge issue, in regard to two areas of knowledge: “How do we know that the natural sciences and mathematics will be justifiable in the future?” The foundations for these…

relationship with the Lord and how to overcome the world. The information provided in the Book of Hebrews in Chapter 1 and 2 gives us deep revelation of the sovereignty of God.

Man can be sustained by faith in God and prayer alone. This is a profound statement that is reverberated throughout the Bible. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that, “We live by faith, not by sight.” George Müller adopted this principle and made an incredible impact on the lives of thousands of orphans in England and millions of people across the world. He devoted his life to the will of God and relied solely on prayer and faith for the sustainment of his family and the orphans under his care.…

thoughts, words and actions churn the wheel of Karma. (The Moral Principle and/or Spectrum of Cause & Effect) Time progresses in accordance with the forms, we take. In the absence of Self-Realisation, this continues until the dissolution of the cosmos at the lateral end of space-time. At which point, we dissolve along with it.
