Christian Ethics

In the Service of our Lord

Out of woe, comes wit; Star emoticon The gateway of Conquerable Reality!
(Ecclesiastes 7:3)

"The task of Christian Ethics is determining what conforms to God's Character and what does not!"
(From the book: Understanding the Times)

It's too far to walk, but you don't have to run; Ask, then let God's Spirit bring you; you'll get there on, or even before, time.

1. Jesus only choose disciples after spending the night with God His Father. He knew these men. He had watched them. They were a varied lot. They all seemed to have an entrepreneurial spirit conducive to their varied inclinations.

2. Luke was not one of these called, but he was A Scientist (only accepting what can be proven and repeated). And he was a doctor (called to and prepared to heal). And a pragmatist. (See Luke 1:1-4)

Luke uses 45 verbs to describe utilization of the most effectively ministering of The Word of God.

The only guaranteed way to permanently put earth's inherent darkness out, is to let Heaven's Glorious Brightness Sun emoticonin! See John 8:12!
Exchanging the Arrogant for the Elegant.

Otherwise;
"If you stand up, like a nail, you will get hammered down."
(Japanese Proverb)

Constructiveness is to do and say, the proven Living thing in the undefeatable and spiritual way.
See First Timothy 1:15.

Jesus teaches not to represent Him (as revealed in the Bible) as a Religionist. Rather, as Luke's scientist's determining observations concurred; Jesus and the Bible are/is an unique interpretation of universal history; the history of the whole of Creation and the history of mankind!

Therefore:
"Be not forgetful of prayer..
Every time you pray (f your prayer is sincere)
there will be a new feeling and a new meaning in it..
which will give you fresh courage..
and you will understand that prayer is an Education."
-Dostoyevsky-
"When one door closes, another opens:
But we often look so long and so regretfully at the closed door,
that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
(Alexander Graham Bell)
