Leadership

Where is our civilization going? When watching one of the Science Channel's program, telling me 7 billion years from now our Sun will explode destroying our precious earth and its civilization. Will we have to wait some 7 billion years for this to occur? As I think about our inability to manage the air, water and soil. I ask myself, with our current lifestyle, will there be resource available within the next generation or two to maintain our current lifestyle? Can we sustain double digit population growth within one generation? If so, what countries will provide our food? If the international militaries of this planet and all commercial shipping won't eliminate the dumping of waste into our oceans. Do you believe our oceans will not suffer for the guilty? Do you think the "Constituency", those who think they have the wealth and power of this world, can restrain the "spilled blood of freedom" for oil. Restricting the sounds of unrighteousness to our Father. Causing Him to anger, and put forth his arm for freedom. Brothers and Sisters we must think about how we conduct business at every level of our society. We must change our focus from unproductive fruits of today's society to producing justified fruits for tomorrow generation.

Righteousness within our sprit must prevail towards all brothers and sisters. Balance is the key of life! Men must be tender and tough as we walk in are daily lives. We must be tough not rough, reward must be balance with punishment, caress must be balanced with spanking and above all commendation is to be balanced by correction. We must discipline ourselves through toughness (1)

Some people tend to become soft when death intercedes into their lives. Unable to emotionally detach, from the lost of a love one, leads to loneliness and isolation. Discipline must be applied, to move through the toughness and push their lives forward (1). The Palestinian are applying this discipline through the lost of Arafat. Can the Jewish Nation do the same, as the winds of time now come upon them? Can America understand this principle when their time of change comes?

I look to Jesus as my model for this principle. His balance approach to tenderness and toughness is beyond compare. His message of Love, actions of healing and comforting is the guide post when toughness and tenderness is required in my life. Jesus, the fearless leader, who swept children up into His arms coiled a scourged cord and drove money changers out of the temple. His nobility of character and virtues can be recreated in us today.

Men of today are not producing justified fruits for tomorrow generation. I look to Luke 13:6-9 whereas, the farmer expects fruit under the fig tree and whence none cometh, thy shall be cut down. The same is true in our lives. God expect our sprit fill beings to produce fruit. The result of the inner working of God in our lives. Since we belong to Him, God has the right to expect fruit. So, are we managing the air, water, soil and food correctly? Are we loving each other as the Lord commands? Is this a Thinking Society?
