Journalism

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES FOR JOURNALISM First Testament teaching is quite clear: honesty and transparency in reportage is essential. No group, no elites, no persons in power, no newsroom should control what a populace hears.   “ALL THINGS CONSIDERED”   Deut 19:15-18; Prov 18:17 Every side of an issue should be fairly represented.  Objectivity and accuracy is paramount.

Singing

Singing changes our thinking. TIME reports (here) that singing lowers stress, sidelines depression, and boosts joy. Singing Christmas carols in the streets and hymns at church celebrations inspire Christians.   Three major statements about music are established in 1 Chronicles 15, 16: (1) Songs were responsive (15:16, 25, 28).  Music is a human response to God’s world, His

Debt, Borrowing, Lending, Financial Planning: Biblical Proverbial Wisdom

Interest kills. Creditors bear responsibility. Borrowers need discernment. Biblical directives are necessary in a world where indebtedness to build school buildings is common. The primary injunctions concerning indebtedness are directed toward the creditors—those who have the financial ability to abuse others by lending at interest (Ex 22:25-27; Lev 25:35-38; Deut 23:19, 20). Judgments against the
