The-Tender-Mercies-of-the-Lord

Sometimes the only things that get us through the hardships we go through are Lord's tender mercies. I have known these tender mercies over all His works, and would scarce be able to endure slander and lies for His sake, endure the hatred of persecutors, and even death at the hands of assassins were it not for His tender mercies.

Thomas Sowell on Intellectuals and Society

Here are two men discussing intellectuals and their effect in the world. In my belief's literature, intellectuals are some of those who live in that Great and Spacious Building (Lehi's Dream) - puffed in pride for their chances of learning and their fine apparel, and who look down from their heights, pointing their fingers at, and mocking those who are eating of the Fruit of the Love of God.

The irony of the literary image of that ancient dream is that those who are outside of the Building, who are eating the fruit of the Love of God are those who are most exposed to the elements - outside, unprotected. Yet, they remain steadfast, careful not to stray into "forbidden paths" lost forever.

Take a few moments to listen to ideas that may challenge your long-held dogmas.

The End of the World as We Know It, with Mark Steyn

This is how the Nanny State takes care of us and we fall into decline. Low birth rates, universal welfare, socialized institutions, early retirements all contribute to a world you may not enjoy.

Thomas Sowell and a Conflict of Visions

Why are conservatives and liberals so different? This is how it distills down to the essential elements.

Hornblower Trailer - A Study of Command

Here is a British series of some 9 episodes which serves as a study of command, and cross-applies to all areas of life with such qualities essential to character as loyalty, bravery, integrity, intelligence, ingenuity, comraderie. These are serious and extraordinarily well acted performances. If one can't afford the BBC set, go to YouTube and watch some exciting segments.

Thomas Sowell and a Conflict of Visions

Two visions underlie the contemporary political scene. You can see these two visions in the conflict between the Left and the Right.

The American Revolution enshrined Constitutional institutions to constrain a particular person from being a messiah to save the People.

The French Revolution trusted an individual to alleviate the ills of society.

Melanie Phillips ~ Question Time (4.02.10) [1/2]

Listen to her argument on why she thinks it reasonable that we be in Iraq and why the war there was not just about WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction).

Melanie Phillips: God, Truth & Power (2/8)

Militant secular belief systems are dogmatic, closed-minded and oppressive.

Melanie Phillips: God, Truth & Power (1/8)

She shows how the intelligentsia have turned reason on its head and turned us into fodder for fables. Go ahead and take 10 minutes to epose yourselves to views that science and reason should be able to tolerate, but which the dogmas of the post-modern world cannot tolerate because they have their blinders on.

Melanie Phillips: World Turned Upside Down (2/7)

This Oxford trained journalist takes out some of the -isms of this generation. Beware of them my dear ones - this humanism, this secularism of the Left. If you want an effective defense against some of the dogmatic intelligentsia of this age, read through these pages. Hold fast to that which is true. This book is one of those good books from which we can seek and find wisdom.

Do not let go of that iron wrought word, to stray into forbidden paths, or into mists of darkness. Feast upon the Love of God - that most delicious fruit! Do not heed those who stand in that great and spacious building and who believe they are safe in this world, for it is a building that will crumble as will all nations. Ironically, the only safety is under the branches of that tree, exposed as we are to the elements of this harsh world.
