Fuel prices in South Africa are over R4 per litre higher than last year, and expected to keep climbing—putting pressure on inflation.

Can we pass a law that says that Government is never allowed to say "free" and instead they must always say "tax-payer funded"?

“Once the church decides it’s going to give the unconverted people what they want, in an effort to win them, as soon as you link up with them, and allow them dictate what you do as a church, they will take you to the bottom.” — John MacArthur

Distance between your house and church >>>

[Lisa @lisathebeauty1]

The distance between your house and your job really affects your quality of life.

Most atheists would probably prefer a God who explained quantum mechanics to them over a God who told them to love their enemies.

If Jesus had arrived explaining astrophysics instead of commanding repentance, forgiveness, and holiness, the modern world would have found Him far more compelling.

We do not seem to want a God who is holier than us. We want a God who is just smarter than us.

A God who is merely smarter is safe. He stays in the comfortable category of an intellectual superior. We could admire His mind, take His laboratory notes, and use His data to master the universe on our own terms.

A God of pure information gives us power without ever touching our pride.

The absence of a scientific manual in Scripture is not an oversight. It is an act of design.

In Genesis, God does not hand Adam a completed catalogue of creation. He brings the animals to him and lets him name them. God builds an intelligible world, gives humanity minds capable of interrogating it, and then leaves room for discovery.

The skeptic looks at that silence and calls it a deficiency. He demands that God should have handed us the finished physics.

But if God owes us the completed mechanics of the universe, why stop at science?

Why didn’t the Mona Lisa descend from heaven fully painted? Why didn’t Beethoven’s Ninth arrive fully scored? Why did God not pre-design the airplane, pre-discover penicillin, pre-build civilization and hand it to us at Eden?

He could have. The demand has no principled stopping point.

What you are actually asking for, worked out to its conclusion, is a world where humanity arrived to find everything already done. No discovery to make. No art to create. No problem left to solve. God would have been comprehensively generous. Humans would have been comprehensively useless.

The blank canvas is not God withholding. It is God protecting the only conditions under which making something actually means anything.

So why is Scripture so much more explicit about how we should live than about how God built the universe?

Look at the asymmetry of consequence.

Ignorance of astrophysics and the exact mechanics of creation is remarkably survivable. A civilization can flourish for centuries without knowing how the cosmos was physically assembled.

Moral disorder is different.

An abusive father does not need a better cosmology before his family suffers. A corrupt ruler does not need to understand thermodynamics before he destroys a nation. Societies can survive enormous intellectual ignorance. They cannot indefinitely survive the corruption of trust, justice, love, and leadership.

We treat technical mastery as if it were the summit of human purpose.

But knowledge is merely instrumental. It decorates our world, extends our reach and amplifies our power, yet it leaves the human soul entirely untouched.

We split the atom and did not become more virtuous. We simply acquired the capacity to industrialize our vices.
Science can tell us what we can do. It cannot tell us what we ought to do.
God never came primarily as our lab instructor.

He came as a Father to heal a terminal heart.

He gave us the cosmos to discover, our neighbour to love, and Himself to know.

The fact that this is happening during the day, in a busy space, while everyone is watching is just terrible.

In his speech, he had such low regard for theology... at least in comparison to his 2 fancy engineering qualifications.

[user @MphoRad_]

Once visited a church and it so happened that on that day, there was a new grads celebration item on the program. The pastor, in his gown and 2 belts made a bold disclaimer that those belts weren't from theology and that the youth mustn't pursue it because it doesn't bring money.

[user @MphoRad_]

I've never seen such an idiotic way of thinking.

@Abramjee South Africans are not this evil. They never commit such gruesome crimes. Whoever did this need to be locked up for life

If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.
