    The Valley of Decision

             The world is being brought to the “Valley of Decision” where all will have to choose between the light and darkness, good and evil, truth and lies. We are in the times that will separate the wheat from the chaff, and the nations as sheep or goats.  

             It is not just the U.S. that is headed for civil war. All of the social fault lines in civilization are having tremors, and we can expect increasing divisions with these social earthquakes. At the same time the greatest unity will be coming to...

    The Freudian Folly—Heritage Brief 52

             Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an intellectual giant of his time. Considered the founder of psychoanalysis, his research and theories helped popularize the study of mental function and disorders, and began to lift them out of the medical dark ages. His formulation of the id, the ego, and the superego gave science a paradigm for evaluating mental function. 

             Freud is also one of the most poignant historic examples of how if we don't start with accurate factors in the beginning, the more we reason, the further from the truth we can get...

    This Present Darkness—Heritage Brief 51

             Over three thousand years ago, the Prophet Daniel predicted a time when there would be a great increase of knowledge and travel (see Daniel 12:4). It has been estimated that from the beginning of recorded history, it took the composite knowledge of mankind over five thousand years to double. Then it doubled again in about a century. The increase of knowledge continued to accelerate until now it is estimated that it is doubling at the astonishing rate of every two years. 

             As the speed of increasing knowledge accelerated, travel went from the speed of a...

    Knowledge vs. Intelligence—Heritage Brief 50

             The last two centuries have witnessed an unprecedented increase of knowledge, and the rate of this increase is accelerating at an almost incomprehensible speed. Yet, the wisdom of mankind does not seem to have increased in critical matters such as education, resolving differences, or managing states and economies that are becoming increasingly complex. Though the increase of knowledge has been, for the most part, a great benefit to mankind, the failure to grow in corresponding wisdom has led to major human catastrophes and kept the world under the increasing threat of disaster.

    Freedom to Believe—Heritage Brief 49

             Many of the first colonists to North America were Christians and Jews seeking freedom from religious persecution. Some were Christians who may not have been persecuted, but had a vision for establishing a truly Christian nation in America. These were joined by others who were given a reprieve from prison sentences, and some who had their debts forgiven. There were also some just seeking a new life and adventure, but the common denominator for all was that America represented a new beginning. To this day, this remains the main draw for those who want to come...
