Free thinking is the substratum (foundation/base) of critical thinking and critical thinking is the substratum of a revolutionary spirit which is absolutely paramount to bringing the necessary changes we seek in our world! The maladies we see and even at times experience in our world are not the consequence of a broken political system, contradistinctive ideologies, religious dogma, etc! They are a consequence of broken human spirits that are in a state of estrangement from their eternal source and Divine Godhead! This revolutionary spirit is what makes the word of the Lord true when King Jesus says to the leaders of His generation, “You are whitewashed tombs full of dead men’s bones. Outwardly you appear clean but inwardly you are ravening wolves”! This revolutionary spirit is also why the proverbs writer could state, “The righteous are as bold as lions”! In order to change our world and to extinguish the maladies we come across at times we must speak from the substratum of a revolutionary spirit laced with a righteous boldness that will effect change, not by how defiant and rude we can be, but by how concussive the righteous power flowing from our revolutionary spirits through our mouths can be! We need ontological (our being) revolution before we can experience world revolution! The succeeding generations are depending on us! <GIIYST>

Why do the heathen [nations] rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? > The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, > Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.> He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. > Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Psalms 2:1-5> For every politician, king, queen, president, leader, etc. in this world: Who Really Is In Control Here?

I would share, that every believer better allow Psalms 91 (the entire passage) to sink deep into your spirit as America is becoming steadily a war zone! Baptized in destruction not by the enemies you can see with your physical/corporeal eyes; but with the eyes of spiritual understanding and discernment! I would point out that, no hostages are being taken in these clear events of destruction; only a massive amount of casualties whose lives meant something to those who loved and knew them! All the rest of us constrained in prayer for the loved ones who are still present with us! Although tragic, I have no fear of these type of events nor is there need for any of us to fear! Fear can have a paralyzing effect and we must not allow it to lead us on our daily journey through life! This is what King David meant when he said “yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”! Our minds must maintain focal points that drive fear from our very ontological state (essential being)! I would suggest, that, the scriptures are potent enough to create these exact focal points that drive away fear! Selected individuals penned the scriptures and yet, it is clear to me, that they are clearly not the Author of the holy scriptures (bible) by sheer virtue of the potency found in the written word of God (greek> logos) to drive away fear and to establish focal points that the mind (psyche) and heart (ontological realm of thought, reason, etc.) can dwell, operate, and rest safely in! Emphatically, We need not live in fear of the times we find ourselves in! Instead, we must order our lives through discipline, teach our children to do the same, and influence those around us to come into this arc of safety before another tragic event occurs and we are compelled once again to prayer for those who are still with us!

“As in any serious relationship of love, the appropriate response to love is to resonate with the will, purpose, desire, hope, and intention of the one who loves. Love is a dense term. Clearly it is a covenant word that means to acknowledge sovereignty and to keep one’s oath of loyalty, on which the covenant is based”

Dr. Walter Brueggemann

There are three notions that can be extrapolated from the two principles that have been set forth here that can serve us well as a caviat over and against the mis-education concerning the universal principle of love. The first notion to be set forth would be that lust (libido/driving impetus or desire) should not be mistaken for love (agape/leading impetus or responsibility). The two can reveal themselves and appear as the same principle in visage when in fact the duly noted contradistinction is that lust, (if it does not have the proper motivation to lead to one taking responsibility for the other subject of affection) will undoubtedly lead to estrangement setting in on the two relational participants leaving both dissatisfied and disillusioned. When this impulse is transferred to a new relationship the cyclic spiritual abuse is parasitically passed to a new participant. The second notion to set forth is that the animistic dimension of emotion should not be the leading impetus when it comes to the mystical (unseen spiritual realm) or pragmatic (corporeal/physical realm) expressions of love. Emotion cannot probe the psychological depth of the human spirit in order to discern the spiritual deficits that may reside there which can reveal themselves later on to be destructive in nature as it concerns the subjects of love. Logic, aided by Divine wisdom (theonomous thinking) is the proper leading impetus as it relates to the universal principle of love because it discerns the true motives of the heart by establishing the principle of responsibility as a safe guard over/against lust that leads to estrangement. The final notion to be set forth is the principle of responsibility as the litmus test of true love. When lust/libido has conceived it must receive proper check and balance by applying the principle of responsibility to the one whom we have entered into covenant with. This ensures that both participants have a concrete ground of faith (both mystical and pragmatic) to stand upon ensuring a proper opportunity for love to flourish and deepen. If this process is ever disrupted, estrangement begins to set in leading to the potential/actual demise of the gift of love between the participants. In love we must be ever wise, maturing, and growing in our education of expression of such a magnanimous gift. (Another oil point of “Theology Nation”)
