The 'king' factor in politics and governance.

The best systems of political rule combine continuity with a system of pressure let-off points to allow for public political expression. Continuity fosters stability in the society, while the pressure venting points prevent chaos which would emerge if the public didn’t have a way to vent out their combined frustrations with being governed. Such a system requires a ‘king’, to offer continuity and political institutions to allow for public political expression, as everybody likes to have a say in how they are managed. The political institutions are really in the service of the king, or figurehead, who remains the leader of the ‘kingdom’ with absolute power and authority. A system of governance which is an administrative function of the king should be free of political interference, by being only answerable to the king, not the public or the political institutions set up by the king in his other administrative function of setting up the structures. From a society wide point of view, tha...

The evil that is:Satan and demonic activity.

Satan is a liar,the father of lies according to the bible,and being a spirit,though he can take physical form,one of his favorite lies is to deceive the world that he does not exist.This allows for him to hide in plain sight.By doubting his existence,you involuntarily end up starting to doubt the existence of God,who created him and speaks of his existence in the bible,taking you further fro the light and the truth.Yet for those who have had their spiritual eye opened by interaction with spirits,Satan and demons are as real as human beings are and their activity in the society is easy to see.From personal experience,I confess that Satan and demons are real and very active in daily human life,and in my opinion,animal life too. Satan and demons however have a weakness,in that since Jesus,they lack authority here on earth,and have only remained with their power.This lack of authority means that Satan doesn’t have any rights over life on earth,forcing him to use power,but for Christians,...

Whether you work for a business or own it,you must be aware that the busier the place is the more money is coming in.In-fact you can use the barometer of activity levels to measu...
