Consolidating My Blogs

-
After more or less eleven years, something in our meeting yesterday in Academic Policy Committee that triggered me to consolidate my blogs. I think it was a discussion on the three different uses of the law. As I checked my blogs, I could not find the article I was looking for. I got frustrated. I could not even remember the exact names for the three uses of the law. Age is getting hold of me.
Besides the three uses of the law, my mind is also drawn to think about several qualifications in the application of the first use of the law. Another article I want to recover is about the certainty of Christ’s victory and His church in history.
In this attempt to collect all my blogs in one place, I realized how scattered my efforts are since 2009. I started many blogs, but I failed to continue them. I lack the perseverance to focus only in one thing. I got confused for what I am doing. Many of my articles I think cannot be recovered particularly those I posted on ezine, squidoo, odesk, googlesites, wordpress and even here in blogger. Some platforms are no longer in business and others have already changed their names. It’s good that there is no law prohibiting squatting in cyberspace.
As I start my consolidation efforts, I also think of journaling my journey. It is a kind of capturing device that will help me to sort out things in my mind. Hence, the reason for selecting one of my blogs as my journal. I could no longer access my other blogs so I decided that the closest would be this blog, Only By Grace. And therefore I decide to update this blog with a new entry, hoping that it will not be taken down just like what happened to my other blogs.
In the morning, I started with “A Father’s Three Aces.” This blog provides me three articles that helped me a lot in restarting my spiritual journey. I consider it an indispensable priority in any intellectual quest. Christ must first be Lord of my heart and my thoughts before I could appropriately ascribe to Him that He is also Lord in any kind of public engagement.
In the afternoon, I started fact-checking and sorting “Anything Goes.” Many excerpts there that are worthwhile to review. However, among many potential candidates, I decided to pick three important intellectual constructs: revelation, Calvinism, and economic ideas related to mercantilism and fiat money.

Five Precepts of the Modern Mind

-
While doing my devotion this morning, I stumbled with an interesting section in the book  Thinking. Loving. Doing. A Call to Glorify God with Heart and Mind. I am now on the 2nd chapter. I am reading the article written by R. Albert Mohler Jr., The Way the World Thinks: Meeting the Natural Mind in the Mirror and in the Marketplace. I just want to share that interesting section on pages 61 to 62.   Here is its excerpt: In order to understand better the modern mind, consider these five precepts. First, the modern mind is characterized by postmodern anti-realism. There are people in American society who are not sure that what we are talking about is even real. They argue that the terms of morality—statements about what is right and wrong—are merely a language game. The second precept is moral relativism . Although most of the people we know do not actually hold to anti-realism, it has filtered down into the culture as moral relativism. Most unregenerate Americans today are...

Fulfill your duties to your wife in order to avoid the following unhappy results: Failure of your wife to fulfill her duties towards you Such will cause you much affliction She will be bitter towards you in the end Summary of your Duties as Christian Husbands: You are responsible to undertake the government of your family including your wife.

And he must have prudence to give them direction in accomplishing their tasks; and justice to deal with every one as they...

No One is Above the Law

-
No one is above the law, and that includes even the government. If you see a government violating the moral law, what do you think will happen? Will the Supreme Lawgiver keep silent as His law is being trampled by human governments? One example of such violation is now being done by the government of Australia by moving hard left . The policymakers are either blinded by their ideology or they intentionally take for granted the long-term destructive consequences of such tax policy. They are not aware that by violating God’s law on private property, they are actually committing economic suicide. How many governments in the world are following the same course? May God forbid that the Philippine government will choose the same path!
